Question

Have you played Ninja Gaiden 2 and what did you like about it?

Answer 1

Ninja Gaiden 2 was very well received by the reviewers and critics, however when I came to play it myself, I was disappointed.

The graphics are notably sub par compared to some other Xbox 360 games, which is the first noticeable disappointment.

Getting into the game further, I did find the combat to be smooth, and easy to pull off. There's plenty of weapons and combos to learn, and this continues through the game as you gain more abilities.

However the further I played, the more I discovered that bosses this time round are slightly more cheaper than the original, many come with unblockable attacks, or spam moves. It took skill out of the game, replacing it with luck.

But for a few more positives, the health system has been rebooted, and it can recharge when you are not in a fight. Also, there's an added, easier difficulty for mroe casual players.
