Overall I love it as much as the first one. I think it's easier and harder in a way. The enemies seem easier this time around, and the regenerating health is great, but they've really limited the amount of health potions you can carry. In the first game it was 10 minor potions and 3 major health potions (on the easiest difficulty), but this time it's 3 of each. Still, I think the game was designed with that in mind and it's meant to be a challenge, so they succeeded there. I think I'll play it through a few more times to get various weapon achievements done before tackling other difficulties so I can learn the boss attack patterns a little more.

Have you managed to get past him yet? If not, I'll upload a video to Ninja Cinema tonight on how to beat him, it may hopefully give you some ideas on how to do it

Not yet, only because I've been engrossed with the football. Need to give it another go.

Nice one Davey

My copy arrived this morning but I'll probably wait till the weekend to properly have a go at it, I'll save up some patience

I like it

Didn't find the first boss much of a challenge but I can sense it getting much harder in future levels. Forgot how enjoyable the series is

Something so satisfying about pulling off a good combo, or wiping out 10-15 enemies without barely a scratch on you

Now for a more sedate game of GTA4 as I can feel too much adrenaline pumping

Agreed. I spent a few hours playing it last night and its great. The camera is a bit annoying in that you basically have to do your own camera work but it just becomes something you have to do and you forget you're doing it after a while. I'm enjoying playing as Wolverine too

Can't figure out how the hell I'm meant to fire the fire / wind things though. X+Y to power up and then I keep hitting buttons and it seems to go off randomly.

The Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma demo is up on PSN now. It has a level for Ryu and Ayane. It certainly looks more colourful than it's 360 cousin. The framerates are also smoother. I only noticed a drop when i cast Ayane's ninpo. The levels still look a bit empty though and far too clean looking! For major cities, they don't look lived in! This was always one of my major criticisms on the 360 version.

Never expected that to change for this version right enough!
