View Full Version : Ninja Gaiden 2 Impressions - Giveaway
bapenguin

I came home yesterday to find a nice surprise on my doorstep - a brand new copy of Ninja Gaiden 2!
So last night I eagerly tore into the latest of the series fearing for my controller's life. I'll admit, I chose the easier of the two difficulties, and I'm happy to say the easier difficulty is much more approachable much to my controller's relief.
The game is going to be familiar to anyone who's played the previous title(s). There's a few new techniques and lots of new weapons to play with. The ultimate technique has been reworked a bit and you can actually chain them together pretty well. There's also a nice progression of difficulty and moves as you work through the game.
I've gone through 3 levels and 3 boss fights so far, with only one giving me a little bit of difficulty. Perhaps the easier difficulty level is too easy? I guess we'll see in the later levels. As for the camera - yes at times it can be annoying in tight spaces - but it's quickly rectified by using the right trigger to recenter it.
Overall the game is brutal, gorgeous, fast and fluid. Anyone waiting for this game is not going to be disappointed when it hits store shelves on June 3rd.
Oh, one more thing. We are giving away a copy of the game to 3 lucky readers. How do you win? Simply reply to this thread! Winners will be chosen on Monday.
Update: The winners have been announced (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1479221&postcount=444).

Awesome, I might just have to Gamefly this sucker.
Quick question, though: how do the backgrounds look? NG1 kinda gave me a RE feel with the backgrounds, as they looked sort of pre-rendered. Are the backgrounds pretty lush this time?
Edit: I am not entering this contest.

I loved the last game on XBOX, so I don't see why I wouldn't like this one as well. The new weapons look GREAT.

05-31-2008, 10:37 AM
so is it pretty much better than the first in every way? or are there some problems with it (other than the camera obviously).
I'll take my chances. I don't want to break a controller, so the easy mode is a good thing.

This is another of the games I'm looking forward to getting my hands on. Man this summer is going to be killer gaming! I had fun with the original Ninja Gaiden although I had my butt throughly kicked, this is making me want to pick it up and start all over again.

played the gaiden all through nes days and the xbox version. I was all set last night to buy gaiden black to ramp up for part 2 but ebgames still has it used for 44$. may checkout blockbuster video, pretty sure they put all their xbox1 games to 4.99.

Finally - makes me want to go back and finish the first one, but it just got too damn hard.
I managed to get through the first game at a pretty steady pace. But once I cranked it up to hard... wow. They weren't kidding.
I hope this one is as kill-your-friend hard as the first ones was.

Nice. Copy please. I hope they didn't make it too easy, controller be damned.
This game looks friggin' awesome. I'm kinda upset that I bought GTA IV. Not that it is a bad game but I think I would have rather had NG2 instead.

The original xbox game is a classic. Loved it. Especially when I beat Alma with little to no health and my hands got extremely sweaty due to the multiple replays. I threw my controller on that one. People complain about the difficulty, and I admit I was close to giving up. But when it happened, that sweet sweet moment of victory..... money can't buy that feeling. I really felt like a impossible feat was achieved.
Miss that in today's games. :(

I'm glad to see they reduced the difficulty. It's a gorgeous game but I had way too much anger and frustrating playing the first one.
Hope you're right on this one ba, and maybe I'll end up with a free copy!
Rex Dart
05-31-2008, 12:31 PM
I think I'll try the middle-of-the-road difficulty first, just to see how rough it is. I beat Ninja Gaiden Black on Master Ninja difficulty, so I'm hoping I won't do too bad.

Is this the series that started as a NES game? I think I once played a Ninja (Gaiden?) NES game that I never finished on account of the difficulty but I'm not sure if there's any connection.
Just finished watching the GameTrailers review...the bosses in this new one definetly look just as frustrating.

As long as they don't have another bloody Alma fight in this one, I'm willing to play it again.
I hate Alma so much.

A easier Easy mode sounds great. I didn't make it far into the first one. Here's hoping I can try this one for free! :)

Ninja's have and always will be the greatest thing in the world. Any Ninja Gaiden game is worth the full price of admission to me.
Nice preview btw.
Mister Pie
05-31-2008, 03:12 PM
Hope I win. :)
I couldn't beat the first one (got stuck really early on with the explosive throwing ninjas and dinos) but my friends who rarely play games at all saw me playing and were super enamored by the idea of being a ninja. I let both of them borrow my X box + Ninja Gaiden and to my surprise, both of them beat the game.
I'm ashamed.

So how's the camera thing doing on console platformers nowadays? I haven't played any since Mario64.
Yes, I mean it. I never owned anything besides really old consoles, the N64 and the GBA. I look back to those days and I remember always having to move the camera around before every jump. Is ninja gaiden's camera as awful as they say?
Btw, no game for me please, I don't know anyone with an XBox :P
oldschooldimo
05-31-2008, 03:23 PM
glad to see the camera doesnt get in the way much. im excited for this game, i loved ninja gaiden for the xbox.

I'm not going to come up with some sort of bogus reason about why I deserve a free copy. Suffice it to say that I just want one!

I actually beat the XBox one, does that increase my chances at all? ;)

05-31-2008, 04:09 PM
I always felt as if I was punishing myself when I played the first one... and yet, I have a hard time resisting the pull of the sequel. Damn Ninjas.

I had to opportunity to play this at UFC 84 last weekend, but I was too excited by the fights. So maybe this will make up fpr it?

05-31-2008, 04:32 PM
I take it this is different from the other giveaway thread? Eitherway count me in for some Ninja goodness.

Ninjas! They're everywhere man!
I'm looking forward to breaking my controller in half with this game.

Never had an original Xbox, so I never got a chance to play it's predecessor. Defiantly want to give this one a try though.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to get this as there really isn't anything out from now to Too Human.
president_fred
05-31-2008, 05:21 PM
if it is open to Europeans then I am definitely up for it. Otherwise in my generosity I have decided that you should give it to an American.

Thanks for the chance to win the game.

05-31-2008, 05:42 PM
Im in please. As much as I would really love to win and get it free I wish there was a way to tell who really needs it and cant really afford it. As I can afford it, I guess I shouldnt enter in. But what the hell right. I never win things and winning would feel pretty dam cool.
Goronmon
05-31-2008, 05:43 PM
Yo! I probably wasn't going to get the game, but free? Hell yes!In other words, you just like winning contests regardless of the prize? ;)

Here's my reply..
"to this thread."
That being said, earlier today my GF was like... "Does that say Penguin's playing Ninja Gaiden 2? I thought that wasn't out yet." hahah. well that explains that then!
I'm thinkin maybe i need to go back to the first game.

Kuya Cocoy
05-31-2008, 06:54 PM
How many "Gaidens" is Ryu supposed to have? Doesn't it mean "side story?" If the side story is this good, I can't imagine what the main story would be like...
Orz has replied to this thread for the sole purpose of entry to win a copy of Ninja Gaiden II.
That is all.

I'm so glad the reviews of this game are good so far...
My brother is a huge fan and just back from Iraq, so I know he will tear it up until he finds a fire fighting job here in the states. He has me so hyped up on it, I may have to pick up a copy for myself too. :)

Okay guys, sign me up for the free giveaway. I need to sharpen my ninja skills.
