Xbox Must Plays - Ninja Gaiden II

The continuation of the story of how Ryu broke up with Ken and fell into a spiral of drink and drugs, Ninja Gaiden II is the second instalment of a series in which Street Fighter’s Ryu has taken a cocktail of hallucinogens to ease his heartache. Imagining himself as the saviour of a world in which monsters known as Fiends threaten to return and overrun humanity, he eschews his signature Hadouken in favour of ninja skills. In reality, he is passed out on his couch at home, next to a bottle of whisky and some Cheetos.

Ninja Gaiden 2 is a mess and not a shadow on the original title. If anything, I'd be recommending players not to play it!

....and that's a bad thing how?

343_Guilty_Spark272d ago

If it ain’t on Sony box it’s bad

autobotdan272d ago (Edited 272d ago )

Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all

darthv72272d ago

Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.

Vits271d ago

Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.

Juiceid272d ago

This list is ok, but Ninja Gaiden reigns supreme!

GhostScholar271d ago

I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds469d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Starman69469d ago

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3469d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese469d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits468d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.

Why do we need a remake of Dead or Alive, instead of a new installment in the series ?

blackblades524d ago (Edited 524d ago )

There's no remake it says reboot. There is a difference just like a difference with remaster as well. They all have re doesn't mean they are the same. They want to reboot and start fresh after both series with South. With there success with nioh series it might be a good idea and hopefully goes well for them and the games.

Crows90524d ago

Reboot ala tomb raider...i don't think you have a problem with that.

Number1TailzFan524d ago

Fighting games are too shallow, they were good at first.. up til around Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur on Dreamcast, because they had a ton of extra modes and challenges and stuff. Everything after is basically the same, or with even less content.

Terry_B524d ago

Sounds like you did not play a lot of fighting games after SC 1.

FinalFantasyFanatic524d ago

Really? I feel like they add way too many systems and options to some of the newer games. Like Soul Calibur 6 for example, feels like they'res just too much going on, whereas I loved 2 and memorized all the skills and options for my favorite characters, played through most of the modes as well.

boing1524d ago

Been playing Tekken for almost 30 years. It's the opposite of shallow.
