IGN Closing Comments:
"Ninja Gaiden II is easily one of the best action games on Xbox 360. The depth in combat is as exciting as ever and the new gameplay additions and changes only add to the experience. The game has been focused from its predecessor into a more pure action affair, for better or for worse, but the formula remains the same -- frustrating camera and all. It's challenging and rewarding. It looks great in motion and it feels great to know you're the one at the helm, directing this bloody dance. It has its foibles and doesn't feel as rich as the last Ninja Gaiden, but this sequel still offers up a great ride. Start doing thumb exercises now. Your poor fingers are going to be worn out by the time you get through this adrenaline pumping blast."

Presentation 8.0
Ninja Gaiden II reeks of style while the story just reeks.
Graphics 9.0
It has to be seen in motion to be truly appreciated… as long as the framerate holds up.
Sound 8.0
The soundtrack matches the feeling of the game and the effects get the job done. The Japanese audio track is a nice bonus.
Gameplay 9.0
If only the camera worked a little better. This is one deep, challenging and rewarding game.
Lasting Appeal 8.0
This is a game that is worth replaying on the harder difficulties.
OVERALL - 8.7 Great

Sounds good, since I loved DMC4. I'll definitely be picking up Ninja Gaiden II on the 6th of June.



I played the DMC4 demo and didn't like it at all. I'm loving Ninja Gaiden Black though (downloaded it from Xbox Live). I'll surely buy this game, just don't know when (the games are piling up and time is short).

I don't know what prevents me from liking this series but I just cannot stand it >_> But regardless it should be a good game and they usually hold up pretty well with the presentation :P I will not deny that they're gorgeous :P



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

DMC4 wasnt that special....donno whats with the high scores...



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

I know you try to promote NG2, however it is not cross platform, so it just can't sell 2.3 million units. Blame Itagaki.
Ninja Gaiden 91
Ninja Gaiden Black 94
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 88

I believe it will end up in Metacritic as 86 or 87 this time, the lowest in the series.



Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

I don't know what prevents me from liking this series but I just cannot stand it >< IMO Ninja Gaiden doesn't have nearly as good a sense of style. That and I still stand by my statement that Hayabusa's an awful Ninja >_> But regardless it should be a good game and they usually hold up pretty well with the presentation :P I will not deny that they're gorgeous :P

 Hayabusa's is not a ninja, he is a super ninja. Since the days of the games on the nes.
