Ninja Gaiden II For Xbox 360 ++

I downloaded a few demos the other day from Xbox Live and amongst them was Ninja Gaiden II. Which is a pretty fast ride. When starting up it felt as if I was watching someone else play instead of myself. I didn’t really know what was going on. Good thing the game explains tricks as you go, like running up to walls ‘crouching tiger’ style and then slashing your way down.

Ninja Gaiden II is a great action game with a platform flavor. The visual (combat) effects are great, but this is a very linear experience: you can’t really step outside a fixed path. But then again you don’t really need to. All you need to do is fight, fight and hack-and-slash your way trough. On the box (I picked up the full game straight away) it says “Hard stopping action”. And that’s actually quite true. I had to put the controller down after a while. Its that intense.

I’m not really sure what the plot is though. You are a ninja. You fight. I guess that’s the plot.. but what the hell who needs a plot anyway?
