Ninja Gaiden II slashes its way on to the Xbox 360

Falelorn | June 11, 2008 | Reviews | XBOX 360

Game Focus reviews Ninja Gaiden II, Tomonobu Itagaki's latest and possibly last Ninja Gaiden title for the Xbox 360. A true sequel to the original Xbox Ninja Gaiden and not Ninja Gaiden Black or Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the PS3, this game follows Ryu on a mission of revenge and honor. But is it any good?

Remember how your fingers used to hurt back in 2004? Remember how many times you’ve shouted at your TV because Murai was too hard to beat? Remember Rachel? Four years later, Tomonobu Itagaki, now ex-executive producer at Team Ninja, strikes back once more with Ninja Gaiden II, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed 2004 Ninja Gaiden for the original Xbox.

_{I know I've said this before, but im still disappointed with its scores. And even some User scores. I mean A game that got 9.4 on the original xbox now gets an average of 8.5 on its sequel on 360. I mean 9 points off?

Still its a good game, played a certain levels already and saw my friend beat as well. Nothing too crazy, storywise.
Also why is music rated to 7? I liked the music.}
