Strong, silent Ryu Hayabusa sharpens his sword for another acrobatic adventure through deadly environments in this exclusive sequel on Xbox 360. The action once again takes place from a third-person perspective set behind the nimble ninja, with highly cinematic showdowns taking place amidst exotic locales. Acclaimed designer Tomonobu Itagaki has altered the original title's fast-paced combat system to incorporate new weapons, attacks, and special finishing moves called "obliteration techniques."
In an attempt to appease those who thought the original game was too challenging, the developers have included an automatic health regeneration system and a choice of four difficulty levels, ranging from "acolyte" to "master ninja." The all-new story mode follows Ryu in his trek from Tokyo to New York to a demon-populated netherworld. While the game is still strictly a single-player experience, Xbox Live subscribers will be able to record, modify, and post film clips of their most manic maneuvers for the online world to enjoy.

I bought this game recently for 2 reasons, upon seeing recent viewings and a review of the game, 1st. I felt like I missed out, and 2nd. and most important for me, I bought this game because it's Xbox One X enhanced. OMG this game looks almost as good as if it was native to the 4K res.
I own Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 for the PS3, so I always thought that was the better version, but the Xbox 360 game has differences, more enemies on screen and it's bloody. Think of it as the NG2 Xbox 360 v. is Rated R, while NGS2 PS3 PG-13. Add to this a new coating of paint due to the resolution bump from the Xbox One X, now you've got a new experience. It's mostly the same game, and yes the NGS3 on PS3 has extras, but this is the true vision of the game. I recommend this to anyone.
fast paced, good graphics, to be honest i bought this to play as the female and it was way to hard to beat the game to play as her. i sold it with out finishing it.
Pros: Graphics are beautiful. Fighting animations are lovely. Weapon choices are vast. controls are very responsive.
Cons: Camera. Camera. Camera. Although you can control the camera you WILL be annoyed at the angles it choices to stand at. During battles the camera will rotate to the most awkward angles. The difficulty of the game can feel very cheap at times. No matter how skilled you are at this game a limbless baddie can suicide attack you for half your health gauge. Although having so many weapons to choice from can be fun you will find yourself picking only a couple of the weapons to use through out the game. Story line could use some work.
Overall the game is fun and well worth a good price.
If you're looking for a manic hack and slash with decent move variety and a solid combo system then Ninja Gaiden II is for you. If you hate story and small breasts then Ninja Gaiden II is for you. If you love blood and dismemberment then Ninja Gaiden II is still for you.
In my opinion, the most recent entries in the Ninja Gaiden series are far superior to Devil May Cry in the gameplay department. Graphically speaking, Ninja Gaiden is polished and shiny but lacks any real lighting engine. The game isn't the best looking but it does offer an intense amount of action with minimal framerate loss.
Ninja Gaiden II seems easier then the first but it is also possible that I'm getting better.
The blood/gore doesn't really add more to the gameplay and any sane person will stop caring about the bloody animations 20 minutes in.
The jump between the old 2D Ninja Gaiden games and the 3D Xbox version was amazing and Tecmo deserves credit for a job well done. Ninja Gaiden II seems to be a less aggressive effort and a way for Tecmo to make more money without making an entirely new game.Read full review
In this action packed sequel to Ninja Gaiden you are Ryu Hayabusa the ultimate Ninja action hero. Destroy everything in your path as you embark on a quest to avenge your clan and prevent destruction of the human race from a brutal and relentless enemy. Armed with special moves, deadly weapons and the ruthlessness of a Ninja, you shall leave a wake of death in the name of honor.
I purchased this item primarily as I did not have the manual for the copy of the game that I already own. The first thing that I did not like about this product is that the seller did not mention that there was a burn ring on the disc from the laser-lense. Other than that, the game play and story are awesome and pull you into the game as if you are right there with Ryu. For a first person fighting game, I would rate this one right up there with the rest of the first person fighting games.Read full review
