If you like hacking people’s extremities off with really cool weapons and sweet looking acrobatics, you won’t be disappointed by Ninja Gaiden 2. However, if you like the camera to react properly, you may want to steer clear of this much anticipated offering.
But by all means, download the free demo off Xbox Live.
The demo for Ninja Gaiden 2 is a beautiful and fun intro to the game. And for the record, this looks like a great game and, most of the time, plays like one too. I just plain hate the camera. Hated it with Ninja Gaiden Black. Hate it with this game too.
The demo is an hour of hack and slash button mashing. It gives you access to three main weapons from the start: your trusty blade, a massive scythe and claws that make you feel like Wolverine. You also get a moon staff near the end of the demo.
One thing I loved was that once you take an enemy’s limbs off, he will continue to crawl after you. If he grabs you, he’ll unleash a devastating suicide attack.
The game play is fast-paced. And it’s challenging. So go download it and have fun.
