Ninja Gaiden 2 // Xbox 360
Having recently completed both the excellent God of War and Devil May Cry 4, I was strangely drawn to Ninja Gaiden 2, a game I wouldn’t normally buy. It’s a gory hack ‘n’ slash type affair, not unlike the above, only it’s rubbish - unless you’re a die hard fan probably. I’m not (a fan), so I only managed up to the second boss before I became tired and put it on eBay.
Ninja Gaiden 2 is one of those games that basically makes your thumb hurt. It’s all about button mashing, which in my case is very random, and therefore unrewarding. On top of that the camera is jumpy and frustrating, it doesn’t look as good as everyone says it does and it feels very dated.
To cut a long story short; if you want a good hack ‘n’ slash (even if you generally don’t like them), go DMC4 or Chains.
