I played demo and it was quite fun, still not sure if im going to get it, Age of conan is geting my time :p

Camera really sucks, but gameplay is great :)

Didnt seem too hard. I didnt like original NG, was too hard, this one seemed more easy, and might be worth get ^^

Too Human looks so awful and has looked awful for a long time now

I know, that's what's scary. To have even given it a ice cube chance in hell of beating NG2 would have been ridiculous. Now, I wont bet against it.

Those costumes look a lot like they come from a Guyver movie, or something like Power Rangers

I think the camera in this sequel from what Ive played of the demo is more worse that the first one. The camera chooses the worst angles from a combat perspective in NG2. I even went back to play the first one after i played the demo to compare and in my opinion I think they messed with the camera to much this time. In saying that tho' there is in the options to adjust the speed of the camera so I might tinker with that when the game get delivered on Friday. Also them costumes are sick and very Guyver like, can't wait until Friday to bash this till my fingers bleed.

demo was OK, its at least made me want to rent it, but it doesnt seem good enough to buy, those 'Y' finishers are very repetative, even for the timespan of the demo i was sick of them. but the main issue is the camera...seriously, its the worst camera i've seen since MGS3 snake eater. terrible, TERRIBLE camera. the story and voice acting didnt seem too great either. its weird. seeing guys get chopped up and blood flying everywhere is cool, its just everything else from sound, character design, camera, story (what was in the demo) etc is just kinda crappy/broken.

If you did your research properly you wouldn't say that.

To make things easier...

Those who pre-order in Europe (some online store offers) will get the outfit offer code when NG2 launches.

In july the first pack will cost 200pts to the public.

No more Ninja Gaiden for Itagaki...but the franchise is not dead (so is DOA franchise).
Hayashi did a very good job on NG Sigma, so all I say is, bring on more Ninja Gaiden!

Played the demo, and was fairly impressed.

Graphics and presentation is just about a 7/10. Looks quite bland in some areas of the demo, but fairly decent in others. Cut scenes could be better.

Gameplay on the other hand is a 8 out of 10. Brutal, and I sure as hell love brutal! The choice of weapons is also brilliant and diverse, and I found the lunar staff thingy to be quite satisfying. The combos are great to execute as well.

Overall, I probably won't get it, seeing as i'm saving my gaming budget for Gears 2, Fallout 3 and LOTR: Conquest. But still, a satisfying demo and probably a 7 or 8/10 overall.

Playing the game and absolutely loving it! Combat has never been so quick and satisfying.

I guess if you don't like games like this, then it's not worth a buy, otherwise I don't see why you wouldn't(the royal you...I do see why you specifically wouldn't get it). The 'Y' finishers are fantastic. To me, they don't seem repetitive at all if you have them thrown at the end of a sick combo. Do you find the quicktime finishers in God of War repetitive as well?

I think he meant that the outfit wont be available to the public unless you have the code.

If that is not what he meant, he should have said it in a more detailed way so I know what I should have responde.

Besides, they are not forcing these DLC in your gamers throat, its up for anyone to get it if they desire so...just happened this pre-order offer was for Europe only (I think).

i do find them repetative in god of war, yes, but not to the extent of that short ninja gaiden demo...why? becasue they simply arnt as frequent, i was using that spikey, double ended staff thing from the demo, and every time i pressed "Y" to do a heavy attack as part of a combo, it was a finisher, not only did it make the demo piss easy (plus the fact its set to easy) but it just got boring seeing the same, body hit, head smash move over and over and over and over. a little variation could have helped a whole lot.

Well here in the UK, one online retailer, HMV, is offering free 1000Microsoft Points if you preorder the game. Other online retailers have slashed the prince from £39.99 to £32.99. One other retailer is actually selling the game for £31.99 and it where I am getting my copy from. in fact the 1000MP works out to be about £7-8 anyway so getting the game at 31.99 is like getting it with the 1000mp and selling the points card.

When you have a tight budget, you'de anything to grab a bargain :D

/waits patiently for $ conversion Phaethon360 style! :P

It says outside of the U.S. with the 39000 available on launch day. I checked GAME this morning and they've now stopped the costume offers on pre-order.

Asking you for additional cash for what should be included content on the disk is not "giving it to" you--it's selling it to you. If the pre-order bonus was actually only available in Europe, that just further supports the notion that it's "kinda bullshit."

In your Face huh ? :D I am indeed with you on this one.

I refuse to pay for a costume that should have been in the game in the first. it's indeed hilarious to see develoeprs talk about downloadable content when their game hasnt even hit the street yet. What's left to do is removing the final chapter of the game from the dvd and asking you to pay extra to finish the game. Ridiculous!

exactly dude i already knew it would be thrown in on the marketplace for people who wanted to spend extra money, this was part of the "bullshit" i was speaking of. Whatever, i wont complain because im not gonna pay for it, and Im used to Team Ninja and Microsoft suckering people into paying for little pieces of extra content that should be included in the normal game.

Ah right, totally forgot about that :/

Don't get me wrong, I hate the fact that they didn't add these outfits in the game itself, hell, even NGB had around 6 outfits when you kept unlocking the difficaulties, but this time I have no idea what the hell they were thinking.

I don't pay stuff through XBLM unless it is cheap, and I just happened to have 280pts from long time ago.

So if I didn't get the chance of getting the free bonus offer from GAME I would probably get it in June...that, and I am a a big NG fan (as you guys have noticed :D)...that and I am getting tired of watching Ryus default "Batman" outfit after all these years.

But yeah, it is bullshit.
I don't want to pay for stuff that should have been in the game from the get-go, its just a rip off, I agree, especially when the DLC is so close to the launch (1 month for the public in this case) makes youw onder why they did not add...I blame MS.

And...
