New mode for Ninja Gaiden 2 this month News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

10 July, 2008

Microsoft plans to release a new downloadable mode for Ninja Gaiden 2 on 25th July.

This is Mission Mode and it has 25 different mini-challenge stages to aim for high scores on. These will be a mixture of using different weapons or staying alive as long as possible as well as lots of other rules and regulations.

Your scores will be fed into leaderboards so your friends can see them and be coaxed into besting them. The Mission Mode challenge bundle will cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

Also, available tomorrow will be 30 videos explaining where all of the skulls in the action slasher are. Which is nice.

Ninja Gaiden 2 came out in June and was a gory and balletic feast of action. Violence your way to our Ninja Gaiden 2 review to find out more.

Awesome. I'm getting that.

Edit: And if anyone wants to know where those 30 skulls are RIGHT NOW, YouTube has beaten them to the punch.

Fuck that. The "extra" mode should have shipped with the game in the first place.

I think selling game modes as DLC is a rip off just as bad as horse armour. Not what we want MS!!!

When I do get round to picking up NG2 (too much to play at the mo) I won't be picking this up.

I guessed it wouldn't be free like the Hurricane packs, especially after the overpriced bloody costumes.

And leaderboards as the only incentive to play it? No thanks. I want unlockables.

No deal for me.

800 points? LOL! Despite wanting desperately to love this game I eventually gave up on it around chapter 9 thanks to the cheap cheap cheap bosses. They can take their DLC and shove it where the sun don't shine.

I gets good again after 9 to be honest that boss i pretty easy, plus you have to play the now infamous staircase battle on chapter 10.


It's a classic gaming moment.

Love the game but seems a bit steep to me for something that should have come with the game. Will probably get it though as I am a total sucker.

This was a part of the full game as an unlockable for beating it, but they pulled it so they could sell you it.

I certainly hope that's sarcasm on your behalf, especially the last comment.

Having the game literally run in slow-motion due to an absolute rubbish framerate is nothing but pathetic.

If that's true then good grief, what a bunch of twatbags Team Ninja really are.

I always thought it was unbalanced because of the working environment/relationship at tecmo. That or the development team spend the entire production period high or drunk and didn't notice the glaring errors.

Well screw you Microshaft. When I get this game along with the 360, I won't be paying for that. This was a free feature on all the Ninja Gaiden games, even Ninja Gaiden Sigma, whom everyone likes to bash repeatedly.

That's absolute bullcrap.

On the EG forums the staircase battle is a classic gaming moment, fark orf crofto.

It slows down but its actually still pretty epic.

Well, what exactly are you waiting for. The game is fantastic.

Anyway, i thouth the only hard boss (on warrior) was the last one. Had to use a couple of continues on that son of a bitch.

No bosses in NG2 can compare too ALMA in the first one. Alma is the single hardest boss ever. Even the last boss in Rez are a cakewalk compared to her.

You assume right. The first form of the last Boss is also Bow and arrows only.
