Zero Punctuation: Ninja Gaiden 2
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
the one review of his i am looking forward to is where he alienates the RTS gamers, partly because some RTS are truly bad, but partly because he will probably take the opportunity to rag on table top war gamers and pen and paper role playing game enthusiasts.
I agree largely with what you said, particularly about the difficulty (I can't even do it on easy) which is why I laughed my backside off when I read the back of the box and it talked about having varied difficulties for 'casual players and hardcore gamers'.
Points where I disagree are:
1.Dismemberment is not that easy to pull off, I mean at any point beond the first level.
2. I personally didn't have any problems with the camera (tell me a game with good camera controls, we whine about bad camera enough that we should have a good example to compare it with).
3. (not so much of a disagreement as a thing you missed out) They made the same mistake that DMC3 made by making you fight most of the game's bosses at least twice.
Although blood and tits do appeal to me as a proud member of the target audience I wouldn't say that I'd like to be typified by that love.

Funny and informative "review" as always.
I really wanna play NGII, but I don't have the cash to buy a half-dozen new controllers that I will undoubtedly demolish out of sheer frustration to go along with it. Until they start making Xbox 360 controllers out of indestructible space-age materials that could withstand a shotgun blast from 3 paces, I think it's better if I just skip over Ninja Gaiden II and spare myself the empty bank account and rage-induced baldness.

its amusing cause i have haemophilia hahahaha, no1 career choice definately being "ninja goon #43" lol
Best ZP in a while in my opinion. The CIA guys popping up in their sexy, stylish and oh-so-practical dress code made me literally LOL.
So now I have to go curl up in a corner and pray for a quick and merciful death.

Recently played it and agree with this review, like the difficulty curve of the bosses, while one may be finger breaking hard and another so easy there's no real strategy to it other than button mashing.
Pirates ftw.
Pirates ftw.
I liked the review. I still think his old into/outro with the clever music was better tho. I cna think of some interesting songs to go with this game review.

Yea, answer thát question, when was the last time you saw a ninja with wenches
Also, see exibit A: Ryu's suit, and ofcourse exibit B: his "relationship" with that CIA girl.

Well done review but.... oooohhhh... oh no you dit-int! I thought after the web comic video that you understood the overwhelming lameness that is:
Ninjas
Pirates
Zombies
Pants
Cheese
Robots
etc, etc, etc juvenile internet bullshit.
So what, are you being ironic and borderline hypocritical while poor at joke telling or sincere and horribly pathetic? I expected better, for shame. But really, I think the only reason it was an easy enough target to bother me is because of your disregard to the volume of the FUCK YEA ROCKING GUITAR that makes waiting for those extra jokes an annoyance to everyone else in the house. In fact, I'd bet you even raised the volume since its inception. So as to not make even more of a hypocrite of yourself, why not do the non-webcomicist thing and actually accept this as constructive criticism and change? That'll teach 'em, eh?'
So yes, volume please.

A surprising review to be sure.
Because he, in my opinion, got everything absolutely right. When I saw he did NG2, I was wondering how he'd get around the notion that no matter what he said, he'd simply be spammed by a legion of fanboys saying "Well, you're probably just shit at it".
He dodged the bullet very well while still pointing out that while good, it's still flawed and could have been so much more with just a few extra months of development and bug tweaking.

He's entirely justified to rip into MGS4 seeing as any game with that stupid amount of cutscene crap and blatant nudge-winkery to the player dserves all it gets.
Oh and there's like a running sentiment with some of the comments, that Yahtzee is slipping in his style. They have a point, there's something lacking from these latest ones..
Still funny though
