Sheer insanity packed into video game. Even with release of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black original version is considered the ultimate and the best version of this game and for a good reason. I doubt it'll ever appear in GOG library since there was no PC port of this game, but if somehow it did it would make a lot of people very happy to get their hands on the game that is considered classic at this point. I'm still playing it on my Xbox to this day and 17 years later there's nothing quite like it.
Ninja Gaiden is a series that will always be special to me, with NG2 easily being one of the best. The high speed action, the challenging gameplay, the original enemy count, all of it helped paint a "masterpiece" that can only be experienced with its original version.
I recently recounted the entire series' history for an article, and while doing so it became very clear that this is one many will never get to experience. It is an Xbox 360 exclusive, with the only options to play it now being Xbox Live backwards compatibility. PC players deserve the chance to play it as well, and it should forever be preserved.
This is my Favorite Ninja Gaiden game, it brings combat and skill to a new hight, the ai nd level of dificulty felt always rewarding nd satisfying to beat. the choice of weapons was diverse and interresting to test different kind of combo s, it never felt boring or broken.
This legendary gem has to come back in its original form on pc, make it happen Hayabusa fans !
Over fifteen years later, there is still nothing else quite like the original release of Ninja Gaiden 2. The combat dynamic of being a glass-cannon facing off against hordes of dangerous enemies you need to take down with careful thinking and precision remains exhilarating to this day. Each level is packed with new ideas, enemies, bosses, weapons, and setpieces. Ninja Gaiden 2 is possessed of an energy that few games can match.
However low the chances of GOG being able to bring the original Xbox 360 release of Ninja Gaiden 2 to PC are, I strongly believe NG2 deserves it, especially since the only way it is currently preserved is through backwards compatibility on Xbox, a program Microsoft has since discontinued leaving NG2's future preservation deeply uncertain.
Surely an all time classic and beautiful for the testament of skill, vigor and tenacity. With this title we can re live the glory days of classic hack & slash that was lost to gaming a long time ago
The greatest action game ever created. A "once in a lifetime" strike of genius that far surpasses its critical limitations to stand alone at the submit of unadulturated, unfiltered and uncontrollable chaos.
Just a good hack and slash game. One of the greats. I like every version, but it would be nice to be able to round it out and have the original as well. I know it probably isn't possible but it would be nice.
Love this version needs to come to pc. Luckily I own a series X but this isn't the case for everyone so yeah would be cool if more people could play this crazy version.
2008 i was still in Jr High, had the cool older kid in my village show me this game on 360. I couldn't believe how amazing it was, that i saved money for a year to buy the console and play the game. I still have the copy and that Xbox. One of my favourite games of all times, I have beat it more times than I can remember. After beating NG2B I still booted the original, graphics are nice, but this game and specific version is special. Please make it happen

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
