GOD DAMN YOU INTERNETS! If these screenshots hadn't been leaked, then we would have witnessed the Japanese Castle themed level. Instead, we now have to look at the Aqua Capitol stage. Oh well, I guess we'll just have to settle with what we can get ...

Sarcasm aside, Ninja Gaiden 2 is looking mighty pretty. From the Wolverine like enemies, to the epic dismemberment abilities the scythe gives you, this game is going to be pure tits.

Hit the jump for part two of this quick little preview of Ninja Gaiden 2.

 


I don't know why, but I always HATE ninja games where the enemies have access to guns and missiles. It just doesn't feel right, you know what I'm saying? Although, it was pretty awesome to see an enemy step on Ryu's face and shoot him in the chest a couple of times.

I think its going to be cool to see how the enemies act without limbs. Will they still try to fight you? But overall this looks like the great NG action we know and love.

I'm new to the current generation of Ninja Gaiden games, but that looked pretty sweet. I love the Wolverine claws, and the guys with guns were badass. I'm sure Rachel's boobs are somewhere in there, too.

Also, is that spider boss the same spider boss that was in one of the original games?

My ninja has a first name, it's R-Y-U!
My ninja has a second name, it's H-A-Y-A-B-U-S-A!

That's a terrible melody.

What are the chances of this getting an AO for copious dismemberment?

Oh god yes.
But why do I keep hearing the first few notes on "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley over and over and over.

I declare shenanigans. Not even a ninja can take a rocket to the face and survive. With that said this game looks to be all sorts of awesome

With all the shit itakagi talks (which none i agree with). He kinda backs it up that game looks crazy.

I see this game to be the new rrod champ of the 360.

Goddamn, who needs a dragon sword? That scythe looks so bad ass.

Too much scythe footage but apart from that it looked pretty sweet. The claws are looking pretty awesome so far too. I can't wait to see all the specials and spells.
The inventory selection looked ok. It seems to detatch from the gameplay still but a lot quicker and less cumbersome than the last one which was a pain in the ass at times.

Amputees FTW. My need for NG2 footage has been satiated, as soon as I can pre-order I am.

Yawn. Run 20 fight, fight some dudes, run 30 feet, fight some more dudes. Where's the variety? Where's the puzzles and challenge?

Seriously, this excites you guys? I think your thirst for fake blood has overtaken your desire for fun games.

yea i dont really understand... dont get me wrong it looks great and all...but the people all got cut and die the same. and i would not call him a ninja. thats nothing like a ninja. what happen to going around in the shadows and killing at nite and useing real ninja weapons like samurai swords and ninja stars. or a bow staff. not this big ass blade or scythe thing. so... yea thats all i got to say.

I second Angels on the ragdoll. And it does look and play extremely like God of War.

But the man in me says GET IT YOU DAMN PUSSY.
