Ninja Gaiden 2 Impressions Have Hit The Webs

It seems as though some sort of embargo has just been lifted because a slew of Ninja Gaiden 2 impressions have just hit the internet. I am playing through Ninja Gaiden Black right now which is downloadable on Xbox 360 and its the shiznit. I highly recommend Ninja Gaiden Black (Xbox 360), or Ninja Gaiden Sigma which is the PS3 re-release of part 1. Apparently first look writers are reporting that Ninja Gaiden 2 also includes a new “Ninja Cinema” feature will allow players to record and circulate combat movie clips across Xbox Live.

Here are some quotes from the newly posted Ninja Gaiden 2 impressions:

So is Ninja Gaiden II going to be ahead of its time in the same way, with the same kind of impact?

I don’t think so. Team Ninja seems well on their way to crafting a game that looks awesome, runs like silky smoove, packs a huge visceral punch and is, in every other way an excellent facsimile of what it is; a Ninja Gaiden game. Knowing Itagaki and Team Ninja’s level of commitment to their own properties, it’s fair to assume that they’ll ship a quality product. The question is, are you ninja enough for it? – TeamXbox Impressions

Ninja Gaiden 2 isn’t all that different than the original game. The 2004 releases’ graphics technology was so ahead of its time that, even running on later-generation hardware, its follow-up isn’t radically better looking. – 1UP Impressions

Ninja Gaiden II’s first chapter was fun, it wasn’t the sort of game that had me up all hours thirsting to play more, but I can tell that it’s the sort of game that will slowly sink its hooks into, gradually upping the play until you can’t put it down. – Kotaku Impressions
