Ninja Gaiden 2 : hack and slash on Xbox 360

Team Ninja is av it once again with the republ to arguably the best action game on the Xbox 360 system, promising to deliver fast paced that'll test your reflexes to the limits and perhaps result in numerous shattered controllers (and egos) across the world. The player will get to repsise the role of the young but ruthless ninja named Ryu Hayabusa - the last descendant of the dragon lineage and son of Joe Hayabusa, from the original Ninja Gaiden games.

Fans of the series will not find too many new elements in the game, especially if you have played Ninja Gaiden sigma on Xbox 360. To help Rue fend off the fiends, there are three classes of weapons - melee, ranged and nimpo (magic) - with bracelets being dropped out this time. There are weapons that do slashing, piercing or bludgeoning damage, and each of them can be upgraded to increase their power and unlock more devastating combos... and this is where I think the gameplay really shines. The animation in the game are a joy to watch, and to the spectator, the game may look like a ordinary button-masher. However, the one behind the controller knows that what one see on the screen is carefully thought out sequence of combos, counter attacks and ultimate techniques. As some of you may already know this game can be pretty unforgiving when it comes to mistakes as hordes of enemies are rallied against you. To make the matter worse, the camera control system has not seen any improvements and this can be very frustrating at times.

However, to make the game more accessible, the developers have tweaked some of the game elements. The most notable change is the healing system, where after an encounter you may find your health restored. Also, there are several save points scattered throughout the game and they have an added benefit of complet refilling your health bar the first time you use one. Overall this is a recommended game for Xbox 360 gamers.
