Review on Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360)

Here, of course, statements in the style of “look at the calendar” or “is not relevant” will be quite appropriate, but it is impossible to keep impressions of the last arrow, deft. The gamepad falls from trembling hands to the carpet and rolled far into the dusty kingdom of “dating”. The pulse likes the hammer beats through the temples, and a long 40 minutes of a tense battle pass in the head, where one wrong movement could easily be fatal … But the video, a second ago, who seemed to be the latter, politely demonstrates another one-sulfur-mega-ualtic boss, which seems to be now beaten ..

“In order to avoid spoilers of the final boss, I will not show, and well, it is fucking!… “

Briefly about mental torment

In a decent society, starting to get acquainted with the game, it is accepted with its plot cunning, but … honestly, call the plot that Team Ninja is dumped on us plot. Demons of different colors and sizes will take part in the play, two ninja clan, CIA agent with large … ambitions, robots, ancient swords and werewolves will take part. All this will be given in the form of videos in which some demon Alexei Paphosno threatens to kill all people, sitting on the statue of freedom and dry text on the load screen. As before (at the time of the dandy, the side views and constant falls into the abyss), all this booth was created for one purpose – to give a rue Hayabus (get acquainted with yourself) to combine your sword and sharpen the shurikens. Sorry for the banality, but the main thing here, like any adequate slasher, gameplay.

“You are still interested in the plot and gamblingsitesnotongamstop.co.uk mental torment of the heroes?”

After the introductory video burns, something unusual will happen. No vile students (click * to turn the camera), no love of landscapes, nothing that we are used to seeing in modern games will not happen. We will immediately begin to tear the detachment of angry ninja from a clearly not good clan to pieces. Sensation is like you are a dystrophic study that got to a concert of some Slipknot. Shurikens fly from all sides, someone’s claws stick into the back, a heel flies into the face … The first second of the game was passed. Forget about the crowds of stupid skeletons from God of War, wipe the dmc4 from the memory of the brave scutures, throw out of the head of half -dead mutants from Darksiders. In Ninja Gaiden 2, it is really interesting to fight enemies. Ordinary ninja is not just attacking here quickly and painfully, they rush around us, trying to go from the back, deftly counterattack, throw shurikens, block strokes in time, surround the crowd and constantly attack. Even if you managed to chop off your hand or leg with an accurate attack, he will almost continue to beat the poor rye with his teeth. When I deprived one ninja of both legs and hands, he without even crying, crawled in the burn of the battle on one hand to the back of the Glavheriro and stuck a huge sword with a bomb there. And this, I repeat, ordinary ninja! But there are still ninja-magicians, self-samurai dogs with a sword in their teeth, werewolves, robots, ninja-spec, ninja-border workers, mutants, dragons, demons, bats, ghostly piranhas and many more people! Apart from the bosses, which are better to keep silent. At the same time, the developers regularly put the player in extremely uncomfortable situations – like you can run on water (yes, Ryu can do that), to the accompaniment of missiles flying in you and in the company with terrible demonic snakes, or salamanders. Or a battle with a crowd of huge mutants, when a dozen fire -breathing snakes flies around the sky. Whether you want it or not, but someone will constantly beat you. It doesn’t matter if you see him, whether to react to him, but they will beat and hurt. The game does not care about the position of the camera, or the fact that you just fought with three bosses in a row. Fasten ..

“With Genshin, we will have to fight sooo many times … Now, even going to the toilet, I’m afraid to meet him there. “

There is no limit Tnen perfection.

To survive in this situation of the codes, Busido will clearly not be enough. But Ruu has in the reserve of as many deadly weapons for close combat (about 60 (about 60 (!) techniques for each), 4 types for distant and 4 schools of magic. With proper desire and patience, you can learn to do such that any other slasher instantly turns into a dull face. The horror that is happening on the screen during an ordinary brawl is difficult to describe. Yes, namely, now the conversation will go about blood. She splashes from enemies rivers, limbs fly in levels like fireworks on Victory Day, Ryu in a severe way arranges fatalities to fallen spinders (the number of finishing off is simply huge!) … screenshots will not let you lie.

“You wrote a script for the mafia 2. “

NG2 combat system without a doubt the best in the genre even today. There is no such dense, fast and fierce batch and is not expected in any other game (at least until the Ninja Gaiden 3 exit). Of course, you can find fault with a plot for a long time, not always an adequate chamber, small bugs, the inability to choose the right level (there is only “continuing” and “new game”) far from the most modern picture (although the animation is simply magnificent), but today, in the era of unicellular action, seats behind shelters and combat systems of three blows of Ninja Gaiden 2 are definitely capableForgotten sensations, when the victory in the battle had to naturally tear his teeth when the bosses did not die from the scab, the designers did not lead the player by the handle, and Duty Calls was not the standard of hardcore jokes. If these words are not an empty ringing for you, then Ninja Gaiden 2 definitely deserves a place on the shelf!

P.S. This is my first review. Do not kick much! It was the shaitan version that was the calculation, t.To. too much changed on the curling iron, added and (bastards!) Simplified. Thank you for your attention!
