Ninja Gaiden 2

[Morph]

Love this game so much , and the graphics on the 4th level boss are a knock out How ever says this doesn't look any better than Sigma needs to go the Specsavers

you are funny.. I couldn't agree more same goes to the reviewers you scored this low saying the visuals were no good Specsavers should have a busy month. Aqua Capital is visually as good as the best looking games so are many other chapters in the game.

I'm currently doing the weapons achievement...almost finished the game with only the Dragon Sword.

Even those idiot bosses don't seem to be too painful.

Doesn't excuse the fact they are idiot looking bosses though.

I think they're pretty cool thats why its a game, escapism and fantasy - enjoy it. The one thing that would like them teamNINJA to add is the ability to zoom the camera out by something 20% at times its too close but most of the time its mostly ok.

Managed to get to chapter 10 last night, only to repeatedly get eaten alive by the horrible monsters everywhere. I decided to turn the game off at this point. Did most of it first time this morning though

I've also noticed that there's more essence in this game than there is racism in the Daily Mail. By the end of level 9 I had managed to upgrade all my weapons to level 3 and had about 70k leftover in the bank. It's not like Black, you don't have to economise at all. I'd probably be even richer if I UT'd more. Which makes it all the more action packed.

Damn the Chapter 9 bosses are hard, not really had any problems with the bosses until this chapter.

Hot damn chapter 10 is stunning, pity the console seems to have problems keeping up, tearing and slowdown a-plenty here I'm afraid.

[Flinty]

This is soooooo ****ing good! On Chapter 8 now loving every second of it!

I'll admit the game does kick your ass alot, but not as much as the first one.

I'm loving the Spider claws!

[Rivuzu]

For the life of me, I'm still having issues with this game o_O;

I'm getting my ass handed to me repeatedly by the chapter 5 boss.
>: Wtffff. I've tried so many tactics as well.

Also finding the Trials of Valor pretty impossible too o_O; I think I should of cleared it on Acolyte before leaping onto Warrior

[Malc]

In my opinion the dev's should have got rid of the boses. They've got such a robust and fluid combat system, that just by fighting standard enimies that are tough would have been satisfying for me.

[Dazzyman]

Aye Malc I feel the same. Ive just come from finishing 1 aka Sigma for first time and that had a slower style than two but great all same but I detested the bosses on last 4levels (then last boss was dead easy). I pretty much gave up the will to live by the end of it they where so damn cheap but loved the normal mobs to fight. Started on 2 today and instantly fell in love with it. Miles faster, more mobs attacking me, more fluid and not having to go off and spam potions or grind for em as I can do risk reward with 1 more hit is death or clear the room and get my health back. Finding the graphics a massive improvement over Sigma (at both 720p and 1080p burry upscaled Sigma version ). Only downsides I can see are the projectiles are harder with certain enemies to counter unless your quick and the cameras gone much worse than before. Im used to it as just do a flying jump alot anyway to build up and its always been bad for just looking at you instead of the front of you but now Ive noticed already you can run around a corner and mobs are their and you dont see em.

Great game though just needed a few more months polish to be a uber classic. The gibs are fantastic

What's the best weapon to use in getting rid of the standard werewolves in chapter 5 pretty quickly? I keep getting my ass handed to me on a plate. I reckon the lunar staff is probably the way to go and of course me remembering to block a bit more as well They just seem to love jumping on me and pounding my face into the ground.

The bastards.

Kill one werewolf with the lunar, then use the essence to UT another, and then another. Rinse and repeat.

On landing UT is safest (that is, jump and hit Y as soon as you land to absorb essence instantly).

I agree with that. I would love it if the bosses simply wern't there. Just give me some slightly tougher minions at the end of the level and I would be happy.

Still loving it though, I'm really starting to get my timing right on this, and you can gain so much satisfaction from the really robust combat. I think its harder time in the review stakes than it deserved.

I caved in and bought this last night. Really enjoying it so far. And It feels like it will get better as i do.

[hugejeans]

Most of last night and 1 hour this morning ,chapter 3 boss is down.Come close to launching my own 25 hit combo on my xbox.

Starting to switch weapons now.Claws for the humans,demons get twatted with the staff.

Block and moving is now getting better.

I still dont rate myself but just love the combat in this,so brutal.Shame that guy left Team Ninja

[Dazzyman]

I dunno if its just because I played Gaiden 16hours solid (and no other game) before I went onto Sigma 2 as my first enounter with the series but Im finding the UTs a heck of a lot easier to do on 2 than 1.

[MyDogSkip]

Im finding the UTs a heck of a lot easier to do on 2 than 1.

ill agree with that mate. They just seem a bit quicker and its as if the enemies kinda let you do them sometimes.
