11:18 am PT -- A never-before-seen level is running on "real hardware."

11:19 am PT -- The Temple of Sacrifice... sounds creepy. Ryu stands in a long, dark corridor and equips... oh my, that's a big sword

11:20 am PT -- He runs into a massive open area, ad hundreds of dragon-like creatures populate the sky.

11:21 am PT -- Ryu battles some hideous creatures on a rickety bridge, effortlessly (and violently) dispatching them. A monster with a chainsaw for an arm pins Ryu down and attempts to separate im from his head. This is aweosome. Ryu pulls out the lunar staf and goes utterly ballistic. These monsters are in big trouble.

11:22 am PT -- The environment's scale is highly impressive, far beyond that of anything in the original Xbox 1 game(s).

11:23 am PT -- A save point -- Ryu saves and a record icon appears at the top. It's recorded a clip of the gameplay, and players are able to upload their films to Xbox Live. More violence ensues!

11:25 am PT -- Ryu dashes down a path, but is blocked by enormous winged creatures. Some hacking, some slashing and a brief Xbox 360 controller disconnect (whoops!) takes care of them. A gigantic demon appears -- he seems disgruntled. " You ungrateful monkeys!"

11:26 am PT -- "Submit or die." We choose... FIGHT!

11:27 am PT -- June 2008 is the release date Dear June, get here NOW. The game wil be shipped in " early June" around the world. North America gets it on June 3rd.

Built from the ground up for Xbox 360(R), Ninja Gaiden(R) 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the blockbuster hit, Ninja Gaiden. Get your hands on the free demo coming to Xbox LIVE Marketplace in May, and guide Ryu on his mission to avenge his clan!

Not alot of fella played the first Ninja Gaiden perhaps , that's why the less amount of hype . I myself never experience any NG too , but really excited as an avid action/adventure gamer .  Especially dealing with monsters and combo

There's tons of little tidbits, but some of the biggest ones are more revealing, like the fact that some gamers have beaten the game's beta version in 15 hours (difficulty wasn't mentioned.)

Other things of note include the fact that there are no longer armlets in the game, as Ryu more or less has those abilities inherently now, and the fact hat Ryu no longer carries around potions to heal. Healing items are now different sorts of powders ("'This time, Ryu uses drugs to heal' he said while laughing."). And if you missed the xbox.com update, the Flame Wheels are now flaming birds that will circle you, attacking enemies who come too close. If you're interested in reading a little more,

Only US version got full decapitation mode(uncensored). Which mean Asia console can only play Asia version(censored), no decapitation on human..

Stan

there is a preview of ng2 on digital life today. they mentioned decaitation in the preview build. sound like its not censored.

Action-packed mindless killing is where the love is , I ain't digging for whimsy stealth in MGS . 

Err John , all your screenies didn't show up ..

The demo is 800 meg zipped. All you have to do unzip the demo, and go into the ninja gaiden folder. The folder called "CONTENTS" all you have to do is burn that folder as a data DVD-R and pop it in a totally unmodded 360. It will read as a "mixed media disc". All you do is go to games blade, slide over to recently downloaded and presto, the demo is there and ready to be played.

Too Human where got that early bro ?

A must buy for fans or a must buy for everyone?

Do they have an Easy mode?

The demo is available in SG m/p , but can't be downloaded due to location . Great ... so great . DMC4 > NG2
