Ok first off I loved the first game. Played the Black version on xbox, hard as nails but such a satisfying game!

At first I had some reservations about Ninja Gaiden II, it looked a bit too similar to the first one. But after seeing this GDC presentation video that has been shattered. the gore, the speed, the weapons, the graphics..... I'll say no more. Just watch this video! -Bear in mind that the cut-scene at the end is the in-game graphics engine-

This is xbox 360 exclusive, right?

I'm not too fond of these slasher games.

Yup


Looks awsome, didnt really give number 1 a fair go, had to many games at the time so i jsut forgot about it, shall not be doing the same with this one, i hope haha, looks truly awesome and soooo fast, bring it on

im playin NGS on ps3 at mo def gettin NG2 for 360 :D

Looks pretty awesome. I hope this one has a normal (aka easy) difficulty setting.

@ Arie, you should give the first one a try man. You can pick it up for like £10 on xbox live origionals. In my opinion it was the best game for the origional xbox. I had my reservations about it too, from videos it just looks like mindless hack and slash but the game is very satisfying to play.

The thing about Ninja Gaiden is it's a notoriously hard game. I'm sure with the new one it will be more accesable though. I'm sure they released a patch for the first one with an easier difficulty actually.

Well reviews are in. Bit of a mixed bag, most reviewers complaining that it's way too difficult for your casual gamer. What was the last game that was actually hard to complete? Probably Ninja Gaiden Black in my expierience!
