Ninja Gaiden 2 - Dragon Swords and Blood LOTS!

So I've been playing quite a bit of Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden 2 (Developed by Team Ninja or DOA fame) for the Xbox 360. So far as an overall product I'm impressed how we'll the game plays in comparison to the insanely hardcore Xbox original.

The gameplay has been balanced to allow a wider range of skilled and non skilled players access to a series known for its legendary brutal learning curve. As for story its a typical over the top Devil May Cry affair. The cut-scenes are entertaining for what they are (a mix of swordplay and big explosions again and again!) but the fun comes in the scope of each chapter. The controls feel fun and thats what matters in any game, a reason to keep coming back for more. I could go on for hours about every tidbit of Ninja Gaiden 2 but that would be dull lol. My advice if you see it cheap buy it and be a ninja for a night.
