I feel like I've just died and gone to hardcore gaming heaven. Ninja Gaiden absolutely rocked and I loved every minute of it's unforgiving, wussy scaring gameplay. A sequel has been too long coming.

They seem to have gone mad with the gore, it looks a bit too much on the morbid side for my taste.

I really can't wait for this now, loved the first on the xbox ( anyone remember the real first, on the NES?). Graphically it looks superb. Why have we been waiting so long? I suppose it's a good thing really because now they'll be able to make better use of the hardware.

Never liked the first ninja gaiden on the NES. Felt like a bad castlevania clone. 2 and 3 were much better.

I read an interview the other day in which the developers claimed that it was going to be easier than the original
Please no! I want to be made cry again. Hardcore Ninja Gaiden for the win.

That hopefully just means that they'll have an easy mode ala Ninja Gaiden Black.
Really looking forward to this one, especially the evil achievements:)

Please no! the best thing about that game was just how tough it was. It was refreshing that it wasn't a game were you cyou could breeze thorugh but felt like a bastard hard game from the 8-16 bit era. I hope to god Devil May Cry 4 doesn't sell out, DMC3 was just as good as Ninja Gaiden.

I've never played the one on the original Xbox but I really want to having seen this.

Anybody know of anywhere I could pick it up in Dublin. I don't think I've ever seen it?

I actually preferred DMC3 to Ninja Gaiden - just felt more intense and exhilirating. They are both terrific games though - probably the two best examples of the intense action sub-genre that seems to be becoming more prominent (Heavenly Sword, anyone?). God of War is good too, but while it may be more cinematic than the others, I think it is a bit more lackluster gameplay wise compared to Ninja Gaiden and DMC3 - those two games shamelessly assualt the senses from beginning to end.

Video looks good anyway. Looks like the same gameplay with a next gen coat of paint, massively increased gore and varied environments. I think the latter factor is interesting - wasn't a massive fan of the art design in the first one. But the brief hint at a Statue of Liberty level in that video is pretty exciting.

I got the surprise of my life after being away over a week and get home and fired up the marketplace to see this!

Unreal, the most unforgiving game ever though, I only ever got to the last stage, my friends brother beat it, out of 4 of us playin solidly (seperately)

I've never seen it either and it's the one game I always look through the second hand section for.

I got a copy of the original on Amazon few months back.

Bitch to find someone that will deliver to Ireland tho. :-/
