Ninja Gaiden II for the Xbox 360 - Gameplay
(Page 2 of 4 )
Players will also be pleased to know that there are many levels in Ninja Gaiden II -- 14 in all -- and they span the globe. You can enjoy fighting environments that include the Statue of Liberty in New York, Venice, Italy, South America, Tokyo, and others. Background music in Ninja Gaiden II is a compilation of electronic music mixed with normal theme music. The sound effects are excellent and believable, although the character voices are not as good.
In complete contrast to Ninja Gaiden II’s serene setting is the game play. To put it simply, the game is violent. As mentioned before, the fighting animations are excellent and you will definitely be kept on your toes, as the fighting action is very fast-paced and intense. If you are averse to blood and gore you may want to choose another game, as Ninja Gaiden II is littered with bloody action.
You will see plenty of blood splattering all over the place as you fight, and the blood will even stay in your tracks. Decapitations are common, and so are flying limbs. That being said, this is probably not the best game for young children. Bloodthirsty gamers will definitely find Ninja Gaiden II’s style a treat, though, for the aforementioned reasons.
Those looking for a game with easy game play may not want to pick up Ninja Gaiden II. The series is known for its difficulty and having more of a learning curve than other fighting games. Those looking for a challenge, though, will definitely love it.
Combat in Ninja Gaiden II is intense and flowing. It is not your typical slug fest type of game play, either; you must develop some sort of strategy while engaging enemies. Learning how to block efficiently is especially important and crucial to your combat success. Game play is not perfect though, and this is for a couple of reasons.
