Ninja Gaiden II
« on: June 04, 2008, 02:25:16 PM »
Just came out today for the 360. Picked it up. Great graphics. Easily the hardest game I've ever played. The AI is ridiculous. Also the most violent game I've ever played. The fighting is ridiculous. Tons of blood, dismembering and mutilations. Camera angle can suck but it's no different from the other Ninja Gaidens. Great game so far. I recommend it.

I dont think I've played that game since the first arcade version when people  payed 25 cents to play.

This one is awesome. By far the most difficult game I've played. Ridiculously violent, though. Lots of dismemberment. Got to love it.  :o

Don't your thumbs get sore?  I hate button mashers, even if it is difficult button mashing.
It hasn't helped...

the last one for the xbox was fucking hard as hell too

does it still put you at checkpoints that are 5 mins away from the boss fights??---that was my biggest complaint of the last one------you'd lose to a boss and have to wade through 5 mins of crap (which you had to play perfectly to conserve health) just to fight him again

Ninja Gaiden on the first xbox is the only game that made me want to throw a cinder block through my tv, fuggin' stupid-crazy AI.  For the sake of my sanity, I'll have to pass on the new one.  But I agree, the graphics look incredible.

Just beat it. Took a little over 14 hours, and that was with me moving quick. Probably the hardest game I've ever played. I was about 20 seconds from smashing my xbox into a million pieces during the final boss fight and some other parts. Great game overall. I recommend it. The killing never gets boring. Some of the chain combos were insane as well.

My thumbs were fine. Ironically, the tip of my middle finger on my left hand went numb last night and is still numb, probably from gripping the controller too tight in some of the crazy fights.

Sounds too hard. Don't they have an "easy" mode when you first select a campaign?

Looks funny.

Anyone playing "Sengoku BASARA 2 Heroes"?

Tons of characters and great stages.
