XboxOnline: Ninja Gaiden 2 review

NG 2 is a game dynamic and breathtaking, with realistic images and exciting battles.
Perfect for beginners and challenging for players more demanding.

Condoleezza Rice5816d ago

It says "Ninja Gaiden Card game" in the title

Moving on,a 7.5 from a dedicated Xbox site,my concerns are only growing at this point.

SickNick855816d ago

Because it's an italian review and card game is the wrong translate by the software

in Italian is Scheda di gioco..the better traslation is "Menu of the game"

Review is up

Montrealien5815d ago

Funny how people build all they need to know from a game by a review. What's even funnier is people create expectations for a game and then when most review site say, it is a good game. They say...

"OMGZ! what to DO? I r worried now and don't know if I will like the game!?!, They said it be a good game, but I was expecting the best games in the worlds, now I r Sad and worried.."

then they go and run into a wall....

Greysturm5816d ago

Well two titles still need to fight it out to see if the hack and slash isnt dead this gen its all up to god of war and the new title from dmc creator but god of war will get a bigger budget so i am going with it with my hopes.

MK_Red5816d ago

God of War III vs Bayonetta is gonna be EPIC though I think Bayo is more focused on guns and speed while Kratos goes to **** the remaining gods of olypmus.

Greysturm5816d ago

At least for a year i wont be hearing ng is better than GoW since by meta even dmc4 was better than this game. Hope it teaches the "master ninja" some humility.

AngryXbot5816d ago

millions of xbots are learning it right now...the hard way.

Montrealien5815d ago (Edited 5815d ago )

millions!?! you think a little too much for fanboys.

try 2-3% of the market consist of 360 AND sony fanboys. They are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to gamers and only live and exist in places like these and forums, they hide and never admit they are on in real life.

I am happy, game is not getting trashed and should be a GOOD game.

TheHater5816d ago

Wow, that was fairly short review. It was only about 3 paragraphs long.

Anyway, I could care less about reviews. I am getting this game, and I don't really care if it got a bad review like HAZE. Ninja Gaiden has always been one of my favorite series for about 12 years now, and I am not going to give a rat ass about reviews for it. I am getting it

I also got Haze, and their is some fun points in that game, but the AI and some graphical Glitch is what Doom Haze.

canadianpatriot5816d ago

I bet its going to get harsh reviews because it was too HARD for some developers and they got fustrated lol

TheHater5816d ago

I think you mean too hard for the reviewers. :)
Hell this game is too hard for most developers also ;)

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2990d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772990d ago (Edited 2990d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842990d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3294d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3294d ago (Edited 3294d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113294d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3294d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3294d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773294d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3294d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3294d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3294d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3294d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
