The game is good, don't it wrong and say its bad, it isn't bad at all, its a good ninja game, but the first one had a way better story that made much more sense, and the entire atmosphere was good, on all 3 versions, bu this game doesn't say much on anything except combat and blood, it seems that it is made only for brutal killing, while in a video game its okay, its just not as realistic or unique unlike the original, which really sucks....but I'm not saying Ninja Gaiden 2 is a bad game, it is a good game, but extremely challenging and more than likely you'll have to go on the web to look up tips and secrets to find the skulls and kill a certain enemy, or when to save your essence for upgrading a weapon or buying some supplies, it gets stressful and irritating you will yell and curse at the screen, but if you want a high challenge and a fix on decapitations then get this game. (I also would recommend getting the costumes and missions on Xbox live)
