Up on top is footage of Ninja Gaiden 2 for the 360 shown at the Tokyo Game Show. Presuming people know or heard of Ninja Gaiden, the sequel does look good, but as others said, what's stopping it from becoming a Sigma clone? Sigma offered the same things Black and the first Ninja Gaiden on Xbox had, but with some added features, updated graphics and other things. It was ok though, Sony owners wanted a taste of the sweet Team Ninja pie. Or cake, whichever you prefer.
First impressions:
Well, this is one game I've been wanting to hear about ever since I gave up on the first one. It was ridiculously hard, but it was an awesome game. Beating the game alone gives you something to boast about, because the game itself was made by Team Ninja who at the time thought "let's make Ninja Gaiden the hardest game ever! HAHAHAHAHAH!" *Sarcasm, but seriously, it's a great game.
From the footage I've watched of Ninja Gaiden 2, things are shaping up well. I am a bit skeptical whether I'll add this to my collection of games, but I will at least try it out. The graphics look updated(of course) the combat system looks tweaked and the camera doesn't want my mind to explode anymore, which is a definite plus in my book. The final word is that Ninja Gaiden 2 will continue the greatness that it's predecessor left off on the first one. Regardless of how freaking mind blowlingly hard it was.
P.S. I speak noobian here, but how might you embed youtube videos? I tried embedding a Ninja Gaiden 2 gameplay movie, but it didn't show up. So I just coded a picture.
