- Ninja Gaiden 2 adheres to the Team Ninja aesthetic, which will please fans but won’t endear the series to a new audience. The addition of the rebounding health bar and obliteration techniques provide the player with some relief and new ways to mow through enemies, but cheap AI, some rather sinister design choices, and an aging engine offsets a lot of the gains.
Game Trailers · Sep 23, 2009 Reviewed on X360 - You're stuck recording entire swaths of gameplay, and the frame rate takes a bit of a hit when you turn the option on. But it's a feature that, like its amped-up combat, will please the game's core audience. If you're one of those folks, you'll enjoy what this sequel offers. Its various inconsistencies and visual deficits are obvious, but the fluid, heady action makes Ninja Gaiden II a great game.
Kevin VanOrd · Jun 03, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Playing Ninja Gaiden 2 is a very different experience to playing the majority of games. No other game I've ever played is as rewarding so often. Whether it's for simply beating a wave of blood-thirsty bats or for finally slaying a boss you've been tearing your hair out over for more than an hour, the sense of reward and gratification is practically unrivalled. For every level you beat you feel like you're becoming a better gamer and that's a feeling that very few games can claim to give.
Tom Orry · May 26, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - 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.
Erik Brudvig · May 26, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - Gigantesque défouloir, immense pourvoyeur de tripaille, Ninja Gaiden II ne trahit en rien son illustre prédécesseur pas plus qu'il n'améliore la solide formule de la Team Ninja. Le jeu se fait tout simplement l'esclave du plus : plus nerveux, plus gore, plus épique aux dépends probablement, de la magie et de la lisibilité de l'action. Reste l'un des softs les plus sauvages de ces dernières années, à consommer sans la moindre modération, si toutefois vous en avez le courage.
Hiro · Jun 06, 2008 Reviewed on X360Read full review - A câmara imperfeita e a brutalidade dos inimigos implicam que muitos não conseguirão apreciar este jogo na sua totalidade. Mas a dificuldade "Path of the Acolyte" e a recuperação de vida no fim de cada combate permitem que os novatos possam, mais facilmente, retirar alguma diversão do jogo e, posteriormente, decidir se querem atacar as dificuldades mais exigentes. Já os fãs do género encontrarão neste título uma excelente aposta.
