    Does anyone have any techiques for beating the guys with the rapid fire rocket launchers? They put them EVERYWEHRE on Path of the Mentor (which is cheap as there doesn't seem to be any real good way to beat them without either getting lucky or taking a pounding in the process...). I mean, they play tennis with you in the air...
    Unblockable moves..Any ideas?

    I think the game is cool but as not much as DMC4 but still it is very entertaining. Cool uniques weapons, nice stages, brutal enemies and nice bloody gameplay.

    i think ninja gaiden sigma was better... (and so do gamespot, IGN and GT)//
    how is that possible? NG2 that has far more features, far more enemies and moves, is worse than NGS, which is pretty much the same as NGB??? It even got rachel horribly wrong!

    this game is soo underated, the later environments are amazing, ugh, games are rated too harshly nowadays, and the gameplay is so addicting, better than NGB, although there isn't much for unlockables, and the costumes kinda suck, except for the ones you can soon buy

    wow.. the sales of this game are really, really bad. I was sure that this game break a million in world wide sales in a week.. looks like it won't break that in it's lifetime.

    It’s a great game, To start with I like the feel of the game it’s like devil my cry and Onimusha combined. Anyone will get pleasure from the game wither they are a fan of ninjas or not. The only snag is the camera movements its very irksome and it can get you killed sometimes, other than that I give the game Nine out of Ten.

    i hear you, i heard that MGS4 was coming out to the 360 later. i think te real reasons for the bad reviews is because they aren't playing it right

    There has been a lot of lowish or lower than expected reviews lately and i am positive it is because of that damned Metal Gear Solid 4. MGS4 will come to the 360 in probably a year or so anyways. Google it. But i kind of want this game, i can't decide between this or the new hulk game. I want this because it is supposed to be really good, and i want hulk ultimate destruction or any ninja gaiden games so i have no clue what to expect with either.

    I'm so addicted to NG series but damn RRoD holding me back from playing it. And I don't understand why it got 8.0/10, I think it deserves much more. On the original xbox they made remakes and remakes and it got 9.4 then 9.0 on the PS3 why this one didn't get a 9? At least it has different content from the remakes and it offers lot more.
