We had a chance to check out a live demo of Ninja Gaiden 2 at Tokyo Game Show, but beyond Ryu being really pissed off, and the game being really gory, we didn't learn much we couldn't have guessed from screens. Today, Computer and Videogames is delivering some new tid bits on the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive title, and we're trembling with anticipation.
The game will reportedly take place across a number of real-world environments, including Tokyo, Venice, and Times Square in New York City. Additionally, CVG expands on the promise of improved enemy AI, detailing their ability to perform cooperative attacks. Ryu has also learned a few new tricks -- the "Obliteration" technique will cause him to deliver a series of blows when Y is hit immediately after removing an enemy limb. Talk about adding insult to injury.
CVG ends their report by lamenting the lack of a multiplayer mode in Ninja Gaiden 2, which Electronic Gaming Monthly confirms in their latest issue. Who was expecting a multiplayer mode? Isn't the mass removal of limbs enough for you people these days?

oh and the gore... limbs, that ain't enough. Every time Ryu cuts off someones head, I say it should be required that he skull fucks them afterwards.
Also, anyone else forsee a no release in Germany and Australia for this game?
No doubt if Ninja Giaden II did implement a multiplayer feature, those same people would review the game, complaining that it felt tacked on and that it's development took resources from making the single player campaign better. Bastards are never happy.
And am I a sick bastard for looking at people getting chopped into tiny bits and thinking "Oh man, that looks AWESOME!!!"
If they used just the same fighting system as in game.
You'd have to block and use skill.
Ninja Gaiden was never a button masher, You needed to block and Roll and have technique.
How about one awesome map instead of five horrible? How about a goddamn incredible single player experience, instead of a half ass one with shitty multiplayer thrown in? God, we're starting to miss the point about this... i don't like it. But every comment here has been great and everyone seems to agree that this has to be toned down
Ninja Gaiden Black lasted me 4 months and 220 hours of gameplay time according to to the ingame clock, not a single multiplayer on even of the most hyped shooters has lasted me that long, its usually a lot less since I don't enjoy multiplayer without friends and even then I end up hating the multiplayer because of its numerous flaws.
And I'm putting Gears and Halo 3 in this camp, neither has a decent multiplayer.
I'll take a good single player game any day of the week, BioShock kicked ass without the single player just fine, currently I'm playing Jericho and it fucking rocks, why? No multi, all the efforts went into single player.
damn, i cant wait. but is it gonna be as diffcult as the original xbox version of ninja gaiden. i hate that fucken game, its so hard.no homo
can i get a wutang
