TVG: Ninja Gaiden II Review
TVG writes: "A genuinely satisfying return to old-school gaming, Ninja Gaiden II is what core gamers deserve…
Heads and limbs severed in glorious showers of blood, blades glistening in the moonlight, a mysterious figure in squeaky PVC… it can mean only one thing Ryu Hayabusha is back, and if Team Ninja’s Tomonobu Itagaki is led to be believed it could well be the Dragon Ninja Clan’s last outing.
Fighting once more against the Black Spider Ninja Clan who plan to steal the Hayabusha’s Demon Statue to resurrect the Arch-Fiend (got to be evil with a title like that), Ninja Gaiden II is the finale to a storyline that began with 2004’s Ninja Gaiden and continued through Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword on the Nintendo DS.
Focussing intently on action and combat, Ninja Gaiden II upholds the virtues of its predecessor, offering eyeball-busting intensity, a stern challenge, and literally buckets of blood. Unfortunately, it also suffers from its flaws, namely an antiquated camera setup that requires constant supervision."
