Are you planning on giving Ninja Gaiden 2 a spin? You have a chance to experience the original Chapter 10 staircase fight, where there are so many enemies on screen at once the game slows down to full-on bullet time time dilation because there is too much game for the hardware to handle.

    I am seeding a popular xbox360 rom archive, and Ninja Gaiden 2 already has been downloaded, unpacked, and transferred to xbox. I have heard it is a great game. I will pick it up later on after I finish a few games higher on the list.

    That's awesome, do you know if it has the DLCs included? Survival (part of the Mission Mode DLC) is my favourite part of the game for quick access mindless action.

    In general NG2 is an incredibly unique game. To this day there is nothing quite like it, you will either love it or hate it - and probably both in equal measures. It was unfortunately rushed out and released in an unfinished and unbalanced state due to some internal issues at Team Ninja, and you see this particularly in the later levels and the higher difficulties. But when it hits and it's delivering fights against groups of humanoid enemies it really delivers a feeling of "what if cocaine was playable?" that no other game matches.

    Will be interested to hear your thoughts, and let me know if you want any tips. It doesn't really play like any other action games.
