Ninja Gaiden II pre-orders get treats News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Microsoft will be treating those pre-ordering Ninja Gaiden II to a fancy Ryu costume.
It's a rather elaborate set of armour that makes your character look a little like the fiends you're chopping up, and the first 39,000 people to pick up your ordered copies from select retailers will get it. More information on who those "select" shops will be is expected soon.
However, anyone who misses out will be able to download a trio of costume packs in July from Xbox Live Marketplace, priced at 200 Microsoft Points (GBP 1.70 / EUR 2.40) each.
Ninja Gaiden II is due for release in Europe on 6th June, and has plenty of gore as well as a more approachable entry-point for newcomers, although there are four difficulties to master so old-hands are far from being deserted. Gaiden II also lets you record and upload your footage to Xbox Live.
Pop over to our still warm hands-on with Ninja Gaiden II to find out more.

Bah, stupid Edge. They seem to really leap on some games over really menial things sometimes.
I'm not sure how good the camera will be in NG2, but it seems ok from the gamplay footage I've seen so far; certainly nothing game-breakingly bad about it. Now, these costume packs on the other hand... they better be some damn nice costumes to be worth £1.50. |

Negotiator, why do you feel the need to reply to every comment you see with a sarcastic comment?
You just look like a pompous prick. Anyway, Ninja Gaiden 2 can't be a bad game. I mean it's literally an impossibility. And from what I've seen, the camera is almost identical to the original game, which is absolutely fine by me and millions of other people who didnt complain. |

asphaltcowboy, its menial in this case because Ninja Gaiden doesnt have a bad camera.
I'm not saying this is how it went down at Edge, but to be honest - all the people I know who say the camera is rubbish are the same people who could never beat the first boss. There's a huge difference between a game having a bad camera and the user blaming the camera for their lack of skills.

Why thank you, and you have a pig face. |

I'll look out for the pre-order armour but, I'm not payig a cent for the additional costumes. For one thing they will make zero difference to the gameplay and I'm not so fussy that I need to have anything other than a basic black ninja costume in order to save the world. This isn't "Queer eye for the Ninja guy" after all!

Take it easy man its only 200 points ( and only a worthless costume anyway ) - your not missing out on anything.

hopefully it works like the virtua fighter 5 item packs where if more than one of you owns the game, you all chip in and copy the item pack data via a memory card to each system. was pleasantly surprised when it worked, and didn't feel the slightest bit bad about it as it was content we shouldn't be charged for in the first place, as is this by the sounds of it. although i will be keeping an eye out on which stores are getting this offer, hopefully gameplay is one of them as my pre-order is already in there, £32.99-bargain!
oh and i'm in agreement with everyone who finds no problem with the camera, if it is the same as the first game then i see no fault. i mean one button press and it is directly behind you. |

muscleblade, yeah, I know... It's just that I was kinda pissed after paying 78 pounds for GTA4 special edition and some guys bought the normal one and were rewarded with 1K MS points.
Anyway, I bought the costumes (read hats and halos) for Kingdom Under Fire, so yeah..., tbh I'm not realy worried. lol. |

But the camera in NG, indeed, was never that bad.
Well, I didn't think it was that good. And please, it's 'asphaltcowboy' ;) |
