Ninja Gaiden 2 exclusive to Xbox 360
Looks like Ninja Gaiden 2 is coming to the Xbox 360 as an exclusive and published by Microsoft, no less.
During Microsoft’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press briefing, Team Ninja’s own Tomonobu Itagaki took center stage to announce Ninja Gaiden 2 and that it will be headed to the Xbox 360 exclusively in 2008. Itagaki then proceeded to do an on stage demo, showing off the game’s pretty dismemberment effects and began praising the 360 stating that it is “the best game console on the earth”.
IGN Live blow by blow account of the Ninja Gaiden 2 Demo at TGS 2007 after the jump.
[Ninja Gaiden 2 Gameplay Description] The game starts. The player jumps into first person to survey the scene. Then runs around. A GROUP OF SIX ENEMIES APPEAR.
The gameplay is so fast that it’s hard to watch. Hard to keep up with. Lots of blood. Bodies getting chopped in half. Ryu pins enemis on the ground, thrusts his sword in, and they explode!
After the fight, he shakes the blood of his sword. Then runs up the stairs to the top of a bridge. Lots of eneies appear. Ryu does a ninja arts move. He switches form his rapier sword to a twin blade.
Then to shurikens. Actually, I think the shurikens are equipped as a subweapon. The environments have a lot of destructable elements to them. He’s fighting in a fruit stand area, and when the fight ends, all the stands have been destroyed and the fruits are lying on the ground.
Next, Ryu faces off aginst gun-wielding enemies. They have machine guns.
Chopped up bodies are everywhere. They don’t seem to be leaving the scene, at least not initially.
Now, he changes to Ryu’s claws. Giant winged beasts, three times his size appear. They have green blood.
HOLY *&%# THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING ACTION GAME I’VE EVER SEEN!!!
Boss time. A giant rumbling. A huge beast, with six legs and 10 times Ryu’s size rampages onto the scene. He roars, then the demo comes to an end.
