Is ninja gaiden black an objectively better game? Probably. Do I like Ninja Gaiden 2 more? Oh hell yes.
Ninja Gaiden black is a masterfully crafted, beautifully made game polished to a mirror shine. Ninja gaiden 2 is an exercise in insanity, and I love it all the more for it. It's so completely unhinged and so unapologetic in how over the top it is with its combat and encounters that I can't help but adore it.
Its my favorite game of all time. All killer no filler, cuts the fat from the first game, and smartly moves the focus to what we're all here for: the combat.
It's been changed quite a bit from Black. The speed is ramped up greatly and foes are way more agressive. The game has shifted from being all about good defense and exploiting holes in enemy attack strings to you being on the offensive all the time. The game relies heavily on your knowledge of which moves grant you invincibility frames and when to use them in what situation to survive. This is ESSENTIAL on high difficulties. It's a far cry from Black's defense and counter based combat, way more fun and allows for much more free-form fighting.
Other things have been changed for the better also, no more tedious item fetching, snore inducing puzzles or weird, wonky platforming sections that killed the pacing of the first game. This game starts at 100 and doesn't let up until the credits roll. It's a non stop gauntlet the whole way through of ruthless enemies, ultraviolence and some of the most intense, high speed fighting I've ever enjoyed.
This game gets alot of heat because of how ruthless it is. Hate to say it, but it filters people like no other game I've ever seen. This game ruined action games for me, no other game since has lived up to the thrills of NG2 on master ninja mode, other games come and go, but I always find myself coming back for more NG2 as the years wear on.

A very good sequel. In some ways it is superior to the original Xbox game, but it feels a lot easier than the original which is a bit disappointing because Ninja Gaiden has always been know for its difficulty. It’s not enough of a problem to ruin the game though. Ninja Gaiden 2 is worth playing and a very good game
Hack'n'slash games are not for me. This was a really hard one.
Хаотичная мясорубка. Противников море, они ничем не ограничены и игроку нужно их как-то пережить. Каждое мгновение - суета. Обдумывание не поможет, только инстинкты и рефлексы. Цельности геймплея я тут не увидел и будто эта особенность - случайность из-за кривого баланса. Отдельное достоинство - расчленёнка, количество врагов в бою, разные оружия.
