Hey guys, anyone got hold of Ninja Gaiden II yet?

GAME delivered it to me on Thursday. Hav'nt played anything else since.

TBH I think Tecmo have done a really good job on this game. The graphics are spot on, and it moves just as fluidly as the first, even though this is an entire new engine that Team Ninja have build just for the game.

I was a little concerned about difficulty. I know the first was renown for it's hardcore learning curve but with it's commercial success, I assumed they would tone it down for the masses. Fortunately for us warriors from the first, there is a harder setting for those who are farmiliar with Hyabusa's first quest. It's still quite a challenge but is'nt that what we all really want?

I'd advise this to anyone who's played the first (or Black or Sigma), it's just top notch. Plus £35 is bargainous!

I wasn't a fan of the first one, but I can see where the appeal is. It looked, and moved, really REALLY good.

Yeah I think it's a bit like that TBH. You either get it or you dont. Fortunately I was sucked in from the second or third level. I love it now.

The appeal, for me, is the fact that the character, is as fast as your reflexes. If there's any time you die, the blame is on yourself. There's no "Oh man he's just too slow" and it becomes about how fast you can think, rather than what moves you can do.

Try and get a cheap copy, I think you could really enjoy it!

I got it and I've been really enjoying it - got it at the same time as Lego Indiana Jones so I haven't played much yet.
