There was a story in the first one too. It was pretty much shit, but it was there. I wouldn't expect too much from this title in terms of story, but i bet the gameplay will be top noch, just like the predecessor. If you expect some sort of epic adventure form NG, then you are most likely in for a big disappointment.

my main problem with the previous game was the camera; half the time you couldn't even see your enemies.
Yeah, we could do manual camera control, but the horizontal axis was permanently inverted, contrary to the game controls, so I could NEVER get used to it.

I'm not a real ninja Itigaki!

Clunky? That's probably your fault, because to me the game feels very smooth when playing. As for accessibility, i guess mastering the game can feel daunting, but i wouldn't call it inaccessible. The controls are simple enough to understand, the moves list is fairly large i guess bot nothing extreme and after that it's alla bout figuring out the patterns of the enemies.

The camera is indeed kind of sucky though. But as long as you keep centering it behind you with the RT you'll be alright most of the time :)

Here is a short gameplay video. I captured the stream (FLV) and converted it into WMV. It´s from a GT TV episode. Of course I only took the NG 2 part.

This video is from 2/9/2008 it´s not an old video of the claw weapons

The quality isn´t very good, since I don´t know how to convert FLV files properly.

Meg, the thing i guess that was the most annoying was that damn xbox controller...but, for my first xbox game, i was pretty unimpressed...once you get good at the game yeah, once you know how to work it...but thats the way it is with anygame, i just didnt feel the fluid extension, and yeah, the ai was predictable...how i beat it was alot of, ok he'll do this, thats when i do this. i'd love to see one that your ai reacts to you, meh, maybe im dreaming.

Yeah, the lack of fluidity you speak of is your fault. One of my favourite aspects of the game is how fluid it all feels; can you name me a game wither more fluid combat? Also, the AI was predictable in that they enemies had a certain list of moves you knew they could pull off, but I wouldn't say the AI was any more predictable than any other game like it.

Thinking the game isn't fluid and using the "he'll do this, thats when i do this" strategy makes me think you weren't good enough to get in there and fight, but instead held block and waited for a counter.

You can dream all you want, kid, but it won't do any good 'cause when you wake up again you'll realize nothing has changed.

The game itself just amazes me. I don't like that Itagaki states he's done with this series though.
2 games is great yeah---but damn, this franchise had huge potential IMO, no?

Yea, thats gamesradar for you. Half of their review was bitching about the difficulty, and not only that, they criticized Itagaki personally in the review as well. Low blow ftl. I remember they did the same act for the first NG1 review, and Itagaki called them out and owned them pretty good. :) Hell, Gamesradar gave Haze a 7/10 as well, so frankly speaking they can suck a fat one.
