Includes scans from the Edge magazine containing the review for NG2.

OMFG, read this guys and look at the BS remark by Edge.

"Edge acknowledges that NG II is a hardcore game and even go as far as to say that Team Ninja has a gift beyond the vast majority of developers in the genre. Edge also encourages hardcore gamers to fully support Microsoft, because without them, hardcore gaming could be a thing of the past."

Ninja Gaiden isn't bad, but to say it walks all over DMC and GOW is a bit extreme. IMO this artile reeks of bias.

"The fighting engine is quite without equal in the genre"

"It makes DMC4 feel like a wasted opportunity and God Of War an over-bloated spectacle"

 

Opinions?

 

Once again, sorry if already posted.

 

I'm sorry guys, but everything he said is 100 percent correct. GoW shouldn't even be in the running in this genre, and DMC4, while good, was way to shallow compared to say DMC3 or NG2.

 

Let's not kid ourselves. If NG2 had a perfect camera, it would be a AAA title.

I'm playing through it right now. The game is really far more badass than the reviews make it sound, and you guys know me to give legitimate reviews, not to mention that this is my favorite genre.

 

However, that said, I am in the "hardcore" section of this genre, so the title appeals to me.

Like I said, visitors to the genre should stick to the relatively easy and shallow DMC4.

 

NG2 looks better, plays better, and is far deeper and longer than DMC4, GoW2, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Those are about as close to facts as opinions get.

Now, does it have a worse camera? The only game with a better camera from that list is GoW2.

Is it cheap, hard as hell, and hardcore to the bone. Oh hell yeah.

This isn't something to get offended about, if you've ever actually played NG2, you wouldn't be so upset at what he says.

I think people are more offended by the fact that the reviewer had to go as far as to start licking M$'s butt cheeks. i prefer NG as well. That was the only reason i bought the original xbox but to suggest that the hardcore should worship M$ is just blasphemy! Do these people even know what defines a hardcore gamer?
