dude i'm on chapter 7 now. if that's the one where you have to fucking jump across those ledges with the spiked maces swinging while those huge fucking zombies nail you with arrows.
this game IS difficult as fuck, but i love it that way. i'm gonna get so much play time out of it. last game i bought was sonic heroes and i essentially beat it in 2 days. i've been playing gaiden since it came out tuesday.

the camera is easy to use once you get used to it. the trick is just tapping the button often not holding it.
and gwely, i think i'm good. i have 9 spirit elixirs and 5 great spirit elixers. and one of each of the devil ones. i'm at the part where i just beat the tentacle boss AGAIN and flipped up to the other side of the bridge and saved. then i had to unfortunately leave my house to go be social and get fucked up. never again will i let real people come between me and my video games. :D

I'm a little past the halfway point... the game IS very difficult. But it's not impossible... I bet if I went back, I'd have no problem with the bosses I've had trouble with... particularly Alma and the horseman on the bridge. This game really forces you to improve your skills and work hard.
Fucking hardcore game, it's old school and a lot of people that are used to be led through adventures with their hands held in Zelda and the rest are going to get fucked up reeeeal quick. Still, it's NOT as hard as Ninja Gaiden 3!
Like Itagaki said, the enemies are there to kill you, not to be killed, like most games.
It's way too hard to unlock the NES Ninja Gaidens, though. 50 Scarabs, Master Ninja for every level on Normal, and Master Ninja for every level on Hard... I'll never be able to do it.
The camera is the weak spot in this game. Pressing R becomes second nature, but the camera still trails WAY too far behind Ryu when you're running around exploring... you can't tell how close you are to a ledge, or what's around a corner. You have to go into 1st person to get your bearings, and that sucks.

ok now i'm at a warehouse in the military base (chap 9). it's got some tricky platforming. i activated ONE moving platform, not the second. i really can't figure it out. where is the switch for the second platform? i was doing so great today, beat 2 chapters (and i found alma to be easy, i only died there twice as opposed to the 15 times i died at every other boss) D:

well. i don't know if any of you remember...but the original ninja gaiden series was damn near impossible itself. one and two are probably two of my favourite games of all time (never got too into the third for whatever reason. it's alright, though). they make you want to tear your hair out, vomit all over it and eat it covered in tartar sauce. but i love them. love them. and actually, i recently came to ask myself how i ever beat ninja gaiden 1, because i was playing on an emulator f-ing saved right before whats-his-face (the nd guy, your mutated father), and i couldn't beat it for the life of me. impossible. absolutely impossible.
anyways, this game looks super and i can't wait to play it. it's sitting on my bed right now keeping it warm for me. i'm too involved in FFXI at the moment. heh.

alright. i just beat chapter 9, and you guys have alot to look forward to.
first off, at least half the enemies in the level have rocket launchers that kill 1/3 of your health.
THEN, you fight 4 boss battles in a row. 2 tanks, 1 helicopter, and a part where you shoot the dishes off a radio tower FILLED WITH ENEMIES WITH ROCKET LAUNCHERS. i had 10 regular elixirs and 5 great elixirs before facing the first tank, and by the end of the level i had used every item i had. what a fucking bitch of a level. hard as shit, but i beat it though. ^_^
i've said it a million times, but this game is amazing.

Fucking hardcore game. That whole supply base scenario was awesome, non-stop madness.
I'm in the aquaducts right now, and there's two eel bosses, and a final boss that's kicked my ninja-crap straight outta me 5 straight times. I had to quit for today.
I can seriously only physically and psychologically handle 2 or 3 chapters a day.

after upgrading the sword it gets a lot easier, and if you get good at wall attacks you can kick ass, i love this game
i'm all about the decapitations

the supply base was the sweetest thing ever.
ah the fucking two eel-worm bosses kicked my ass on multiple occasions. you have to go up to the top of the level and keep killing those things and buying shit. also at that point you should have more than 20 scarabs, and get the Diablahro, which decapitates everything.
for the end boss of that level i had 4 nimpho slots and 3 great devil elixirs. since i had spent 3 hours on the level already i just kept hitting him with them and beat him quickly.
the part i'm at i just beat doku and have to figure out some puzzle with hitting switches and moving platforms.
i think i'm done for the day. 3 chapters took a whole 8 hours (including death time).

I finally beat it. 20 hour save, a very generous length for a game like this.
The fight in the Fiend Realm against that goat devil guy was the most intense video gaming experience I've had... because getting to him is GRUELING, and I didn't have a lot of healing items when I got to him. I really didn't want to lose and go back all that way. I puled out all the stops, fought him standing up, and beat him with, at most, enough health left for one more fireball.
Awesome game, one of the best I've played. Now I'm going to unlock the three Ninja Gaidens.

i highly enjoyed this game when my friend rented it - makes me wish i had an xbox. the game IS difficult, but as ophecks said, not impossible. It's simply a game that makes you be the best at it - you have to be in order to succeed. There aren't enough games like this these days.

agreed. this game had a perfect challange, it wasnt impossible, but it did require your fullest attention and talent to win.
most games these days are dead simple or improbably which pisses a hardcore gamer like me off.
man, that fat sword you get, the diahbolo or something is ACE. i suped it up to level 3 and went on a killing frenzy in the sewers.
good times had by all, eat snacky smores

challenging beyond... almost all challenges. the online component for it had news of them releasing a download for yet an even harder difficulty setting in order to weed out those who couldn't step up to the insanity.

mm ninja gaiden two was amazing.
try gamefaqs.com , it is the best site for online guides and all that , very good indeed .
its hard but in comparison to old school stuff its about the same really , all these new gamers who came in on the psone really do not know what a "hard " game is. contra was hell .... in a good way.

Yeah. The kids today are not used to games like this.
The only discernable flaw in the game, for me, was the camera. It was a pain during platforming sequences, and bosses. But apparently they have a downloadable fix for it on Xbox Live now. I might get it and give the game another go... on VERY HARD.
The game isn't too tough after you've beaten it... it's truly a game that requires skill, and if you want to beat it, you WILL be damn skilled by the end.
