Retro Game of the Week 130: Ninja Gaiden 2 (NES)

So it's another week of a retro gaming pick. This time around, we have a classic for the NES. It's Ninja Gaiden 2 for the NES. This is actually the first one I played for the console. I remember renting the game and getting fed up due to its difficulty. The Ninja Gaiden series are one of the most challenging series for the NES.

The music of the game is classic. It's upbeat and fun! The sounds are pretty much the same as the ones from the first game but it doesn't matter, it's still catchy to your ears. 

The graphics of the games are just awesome. The cut-scenes are pretty awesome and cinematic. They are quite memorable you know. It was our first glimpse at seeing movements and story-line in between stages. 

The gameplay is tough! If you really want an old school 8-bit challenge, then this is it! Look no further unless you want something even more difficult like Battletoads. You'll be trying to beat this game for hours, days, even weeks! Once you do, you'll feel so accomplish and will never want to play through it again! 

If you are willing to replay this game again, you have guts! It's quite difficult so the average gamer will definitely put it down once it's finished. The hardcore gamer would come back to it from time to time but the wizard gamer will try to beat it without taking any damage in the entire game! 

This game is a must have for your collection. This is just awesome! The game itself is a classic and it's not that expensive. The replay value is debatable as it varies depending on your gamer blood. In all honesty, get it!!
