The sequel to Ninja Gaiden; A high-difficulty, ninja-themed, hack-and-slash title.
Masterful Combat But Lacks Coherence

More like a test of patience than a test of skill.
Ryu Hayabasa receives a message from a woman by the name of Sonia, that the Black Spider Clan are attempting to awaken the four Greater Fiends of legend in an attempt to destroy his clan. He encounter… Read more
Blood, gore, tits -- what more could you want?
Ninja Gaiden 2 is ridiculous, absurd and damn good fun. Its best quality is that when everything is working, when the camera isn’t screwing up, and when the game isn’t being obnoxiously difficult, it… Read more
a worth sequel to Ninja Gaiden
Players have been waiting 4 years for a true Sequel, that is Ninja Gaiden. Now, Ninja Gaiden 2 is here and continues the story of Ryu Hyabosa... some what. Ninja Gaiden 2 story can be forgettable sinc… Read more
A mixture of legitimately hard and infuriatingly cheap.
Many gamers complain that games today are too easy. They feel that a game should last longer and be more of a challenge, especially for $60. Team Ninja must have heard this, since Ninja Gaiden II, the… Read more
Bondage

Lots of fun, but dragged down by some frustrating problems.
Have you ever wanted to feel like a human buzzsaw? If so, check out Ninja Gaiden II! In this bloody, action packed sequel, Team Ninja took what made Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox a fan favorite among hardc… Read more
A game with so much potential that winds up being cheap
The original Ninja Gaiden for the original xbox was a masterpiece of action game design. It was tight, the controls were near perfect and the action a blaze of sword weilding ninja mystisim. Ninja Gai… Read more
Suggestion: spend more dev time on gameplay, less on boobies.
My first experience with Ninja Gaiden was on the NES back in the early 90s. That was one hard game. The next NG title played was the remake on Xbox, and then the remake of the remake (Sigma) on the PS… Read more
Ninja Reviews Ninja Gaiden II
I hoped this game would be much more of an accurate represetation of a Ninja. When I saw Ryu I instantly saw myself however I began to realise the game was not about being a Ninja and there ws very li… Read more
Masterpiece!!! My right thumb hurts...
If you're not ready to put the time and effort into this game, prepare for self-inflicted Obliteration very early on ;) even on the so-called Easy/Acolyte difficulty but if you do spend the time then… Read more
Blood, Blood and Even More Blood Can't Cover Its Flaws.
The Good Bloody, fast-paced action should keep you entertained. You can cut any monsters' limb. Superior animations make Ryu the best moving character around The new Obliteration technique is fun to p… Read more
Ranting and Raving About Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox Three Sixty
First of all what is the deal with the camera? I know this this is kind of a dead horse issue but still, I mean, come on! There are times when it frames the action quite nicely, but when you move into… Read more
The best weapon based fighting engine ever created.
Team Ninja has taken an odd last step with their critically acclaimed action adventure/open world game Ninja Gaiden/Black/Sigma, in the form on Ninja Gaiden 2. The main focus of this game feels more l… Read more
N.G. II increases the action, while decreasing the frustration
I haven' t beaten Ninja Gaiden on the original Xbox. I Play a lot of games, and try to complete them at least once. Tell that the the bosses on the xbox game , they would probably laugh until they exp… Read more
A Shinier version of the original Xbox version.
Ninja Gaiden II received a large amount of hype before it was officially launched. After playing it I have confirmed my own doubts about this hype, it is completely unjustified. Why? Well for starters… Read more
awfully shiny and fun, just too damned hard...
Okay so the now controversial final tecmo/itagaki game has released. we've all heard that he's quitting tecmo and suing the company. and much of the buzz about that has translated directly to buzz ove… Read more
Being a Ninja at its coolest
After a long 4 years with the Ninja Gaiden 1 iterations of Ninja Gaiden Black, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Turbo and Ninja Gaiden: Championship Edition (where you place the bosses), Team Ninja has released the… Read more
My really crappy mini-review for Ninja Gaiden 2
I'm not really sure why I bought this game. It was kind of an impulse buy, because I kind of enjoyed Ninja Gaiden Sigma. And the boxart is sweet. I think thats what got me. Anyways, yeah the game is r… Read more
Itagaki's last hurrah....
So Tomonobu Itagaki; everyones much loved, some what introverted man of modesty got around to finishing up Ninja Gaiden 2 much to the squealing school girl delight of many and it has a some what large… Read more
Tough but Satisfying
My first impression of Ninja Gaiden II was that it was just the same as Ninja Gaiden. This is true to a certain extent, but if once you get past the first chapter you will be surprised that this is a… Read more
No other action game can perform to this degree of bloodshed.
When Ninja Gaiden made its debut to the Xbox in 2004, it established itself as an instant classic. The explosive, bloody action, engaging story and punishing difficulty made it a must play game. So ob… Read more
Packs a punch you'll remember.
After adoring the first Ninja Gaiden, along with NInja Gaiden Black, the next instalment became my most anticipated game in years. After I finally got my hands on it, I played it relishingly, and fini… Read more
Won't Win Over Any New Fans But Will Surely Keep the Old Ones
The title pretty much says it all. Yes, the camera can be frustrating. Yes, the story is ridiculous (but do you really care?). But the action is just as great as in NG:Black and the post-battle regene… Read more
Underrated
I originally put off buying Ninja Gaiden II due to various reviews. But after finally deciding to buy it, I was very surprised to find out how great this game actually is. One thing that turned me off… Read more
Thrilling combat, but the game leaves much to be desired
Steven Beynon EpicSteve Gamertag: EpicBomb Ninja Gaiden II is an oddball, the game blends aspects that make it both a standout, and a less than great title. As fans of any previous Ninja Gaiden advent… Read more
It's sad to see a potential masterpiece pushed out the door.
First I'm just going to say as a huge HUGE long time Team Ninja fan.This is the most dissapointing game I have ever played from them. Ninja Gaiden 2 is a revenge story filled with blood bath animation… Read more
A beautiful, blood soaked frenzy or a broken, cheap mess?
The original Ninja Gaiden was actually released as a reasonably straightforward arcade game in 1988, before it made the jump to consoles on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) later that same year… Read more
A difficult, combat-rich and bloody experience.
Pros Fluid combat with a variety of combos. Slick presentation. Character models are excellent. Cinematics are impressive to watch. Cons Chest physics, no woman needs a chest that big nor with physics… Read more
All in all this is a Ninja Gaiden game but...its kind of..mehh..
Being a sequel to Ninja Gaiden or Ninja Gaiden black most would say, this lives up to the reputation....atleast thats what it only achieves, Ninja Gaiden is the exact same blood spilling, head splitti… Read more
Not quite as good as the first, but still kick ass
This is my first review so sorry if it sucks. Anyway, I like so many others enjoyed and played the hell out of Ninja Gaiden Black and was super stoked when the sequel was announced. I rushed out and b… Read more
An Important Game
If I had to sum up this game in one word, it would be "important". Ninja Gaiden 2 is a breath of fresh air in a world of grey and brown filters and military fetishism. Similar to how Serious Sam &… Read more
One of the best action games to come out recently
Ninja Gaiden 2 is one of the best action games I have ever played. The game plays like no other game and has a very simple but engaging story to boot with some great characters including some of the m… Read more
Ninja Warriors again!
Ninja Gaiden II has not changed a lot since the last game. Heck, it's practically the same game you played on the first Xbox, although a bit more polished. Still it's a lot of fun to kill enemies in t… Read more
Super Ninja Ryu Hayabusa is back and bloodier than ever.
The Good: If the core combat wasn't perfected before it certainly has been now, some of the best animations in the business, finally features real successive play , longer than the first game, improve… Read more
Good game but not worth full price.
Everyone likes a challenge, everyone likes ninjas and I’d imagine everyone would like scantily clad ladies. So you’d imagine Ninja Gaiden 2 would be a great game because it has all of these in large a… Read more
Ninja Gaiden II Review - My First Review
Ninja Gaiden II. When I first saw the game, it looked promising and fun. The first Ninja Gaiden was a lot of fun to play and, what is perhaps, one of the most difficult games I've ever played. Despite… Read more
Extremely satisfying, yet not for everyone
Ninja Gaiden II is not much different from its predecessor. You play as Ryu Hayabusa, a 20-something ninja of the Dragon lineage. The story takes place six months after Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword for… Read more
