Is Ninja Gaiden II free world?

Question

After you beat it can you run around and do as you please?

Answer 1

No mate. Its not a free world. The game engine is strictly deisgned in a way that does not  allow u to make an extra foot. Try to jump into the sea in the New York city level. Trust me, you won't be able to do that.

Yes environment destruction is there in the game but it is just limited to breaking some barrels and crates to fetch some essence and some other hidden items. Rest is all pretty rock solid :)

By the way, never expect an action/adv game that is high on combat and story (like NInja Gaiden) to allow users to move freely.

I hope it helps

Cheers!!
