Good game
Ninja Gaiden 2 is the sequel to Ninja Gaiden Black. The game plays like the first one which is a good thing. The only reason I give this game a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star is because of the camera angle. If you played the first game you know what to expect. The one thing I have to mention is that this game isn't as challening as the first one.

It's still hard but not like the first one. Once you reach the dragon statues to save your game, your health goes back up and in the first one you only had to rely on using the Grains of Spiritual Life or Herbs of Spiritual life to bring your health back up. This is a good thing for the second game though because some bosses are tough to beat and it would be really hard throughout the game if you just had health packs to rely on. No more throwing the controller to the TV :-) not that I did it but sometimes I felt like doing it because the bosses were just challenging and with low health it's what made it much more harder. Overall you will like this game if you liked the first one.

Awesome Game
This game is incredibly good, I have been playing it since I got it and don't think I'll put it down any time soon. The images are incredibly good and all the different moves you can perform with each weapon give the game a great interaction.

My first run with the 'new' Ryu
I bought this game for the gift card and how I heard NG Black was so great. First, let me say this game focuses more on survival than stylishly beating up on enemies. You'll get ambushed many times by numerous enemies, sometimes spamming projectiles to no end.

I feel kind of bad for using items, but I suppose this game encourages it, because your score is not affected. Still, it makes me feel like an amateur. The gameplay is as deep as you want it to be. You can use one weapon and spam the same combo everytime, or you can do many different combos with many different weapons.

This game is glitchy so beware. I've had to restart twice due to game freezes, and sometimes the camera gets skippy. Oh yeah, the camera.. The bane of everyone's existence. It's usually too close and not high enough, so you can't see very well. And I really hate it when stuff is exploding all around you and you can't see anything. Also, sometimes I get a wall or door between me and Ryu, so I can't see a thing. Right trigger readjusts the camera but it doesn't always help.

This feels like an unfinished product and is frustrating at times so I'll give it two stars. Probably deserves three, but I am kind of annoyed at the moment. I know many would like to disagree with my rating, but I'm not all that happy with my purchase. I guess they feel like the gore and combos make up for its shortcomings. Not me, I'd trade in the delimbing fests for a more polished game.
