Ninja Gaiden 2


The sequel to Ninja Gaiden, exclusive on the XBOX 360, hits Australian stores this June.

In Ninja Gaiden 2, gamers will once again adorn the ninja suit of Ryu Hayabusa as he embarks on an important mission to avenge his clan and prevent the destruction of the human race. Published solely by Microsoft Game Studios (Tecmo no longer publishes the game) Ninja Gaiden 2 will start on a new slate featuring all-new gameplay including a new auto-healing system, adventures, enemies, levels, and thrilling combat with an extensive assortment of ninja weaponry - shurikens, bows, Vigoorian flail and lots more - representing a true evolution of the highly popular franchise.

The aforementioned auto-healing system in Ninja Gaiden 2 - featuring semi-permanent damage restored at save points - introduces a new twist to managing health. Together with an extensive story mode and multiple difficulty levels available from the start of the game, plus realistic and groundbreaking graphics, Ninja Gaiden 2 will be both accessible to more casual players and challenging to even seasoned gamers.

The addition of a new concept also allows players to upload Karma scores to Xbox LIVE leaderboards and participate in an all-new Master Ninja Tournament.

Ninja Gaiden 2 goes on sale for $99.95 on June 12, 2008.
