Ninja Gaiden II is an upcoming sequel to Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox 360, due for release in June 3, 2008. It is being developed by Team Ninja and published by Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for the Xbox 360. Fans of the first Ninja Gaiden will definitely want to pick this one up.
The game features more gore and graphic violence than the previous installment, as several screen-shots show Ryu decapitating his enemies as well as cutting off their arms and legs and ripping their bodies apart. Dismemberment will handicap or immobilize an enemy, but not necessarily kill him.
One thing lacking from Ninja Gaiden II though is multiplayer capablities. The idea of having a multiplayer world with ninja running around gives me a hard on. Multiplayer modes could have included all out ninja wars, or co-op missions. But I guess we’ll have to wait for Ninja Gaiden 3 to see this.
The game will consist of four difficulties: Path Of The Acolyte being the easiest, followed by Path Of The Warrior, Path Of The Mentor, and Path Of The Master Ninja being the hardest. Anyone who can complete Path of the Master Ninja earns my respect. It will be very hard.
Ninja Gaiden 2 has been confirmed to be a Mature rated title because of the violence. A demo will be available in May.
