Exactly. 7 extra times (8 if you played on Warrior first and wanted Acolyte for those :mad: )...

But there's the added reason of XBL leaderboards for those people that need to see their name in the big city lights.

I beat the game saturday night! Now how do I start a news game on mentor and get to keep my weapons?

This is easy to answer:

1) Beat it on Mentor.
2) Start a 2nd Mentor game from your final Mentor save.

:)

It sucks, but you can't do what you want to do.

If I start a 2nd Warrior game do I keep my weapons?

Yes, but not even Acolyte. It sucks.

Have you started playing through again, or have you moved on to another game?

The original was one of my favorite games of all time. But damn, the camera is really killing this for me.

I played through acolyte until around chapter 10 before I got bored. I lent it to a friend in exchange for Lego Indy.

Why did you go from Warrior down to Acholyte, instead of mentor?

I wanted to see what kind of time was required to get those shitty 5-point achievements for the weapons.

I did go up to Mentor too and got my ass handed to me by the first group of ninjas :lol:

I think I'm going to be restarting a game on Acolyte. I'm getting my ass handed to me on Warrior.

Oh look, Ninja Gaiden 2's been updated with a mission-mode expansion pack for only 800 points...

I just love buying things that should have been included with the game for free in the first place. -rolleyes-

Maybe before the days of online gaming consoles. But now the companys see a much larger profit. $60 for the game and wait a while to release extra stuff they know fans will pay for. $10 is way too much and i expect there'll be another $10 expansion so the $60 game has now turned into a $80 game.

That is why I'm waiting for the PS3 version. Just like the first Ninja Gaiden, they had 2 releases for the X Box, then the PS3 version of Sigma had pretty much everything. I'm thinking the same thing will probably happen with this one.

You are forgetting one very important thing here.... NG2 is published by Microsoft.

The first NG was developed and published by Team Ninja/Tecmo. NG2 was developed by Team Ninja but published by Microsoft. Call me crazy but for some strange reason, I don't think MS is going to want Team Ninja to port the game to other consoles.

The publisher actually does own the rights to the game, right? So a developer can't just do whatever they want with it, right? Or am I wrong? I don't really know exactly what rights the publisher does have, but since they make most of the financial contributions to the game, it seems like they would actually own it.

Anyone hear about a bug with the latest patch, where you cannot finish the game/get to the last boss?

NG2 got a price drop, down to $40 now. If you order from CC online you get a $20 gift card w/purchase too.

I’m still trying to beat NGS for PS3 before picking this one up

It's actually $30 new, at, of all places, Blockbuster.

I'm still finishing up Sigma (which I got after that price drop) but couldn't resist picking it up for that price.

So did they finally patch the bug?

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2
 

If you can find it in stock, this is $9.99 at Best Buy this week. Or, try to get a price match at CC or Walmart.

So, is this worth $10? How difficult is it? Does the difficulty or crappy camera really make it too frustrating in the end?

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2
 

Well worth $10.

Is difficult, but rewarding in a satisfaction sort of feeling.

I don't recall the camera being crappy, but there were times when you couldn't see everything going on around you.

This game is hard. :(

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2
 

Speaking of this game, Major Nelson has said some DLC from this game will be on sale in the next few weeks. I assume it's the currently-800http://marketplace.xbox.com/xweb/lib...ints_12_12.png Mission Mode (and not any of the costumes). Hoping for a 50% discount, but 25% is probably more likely.

I'll get it for whatever it is, but I can't play until I get it back from a coworker so he can never finish it and cry like robo about how hard it is.

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2
 

:lol: Bitch.

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2
 

:lol: Where are you stuck?

Re: Ninja Gaiden 2
 

:p

Not so much stuck in the regular game, but I just made it into the Statue of Liberty and I'm trying to kill all the purple monsters in that mini game. I refuse to keep going in the regular game until I've completed this challenge. I found the 'XBOX' logo for health so I always go is with full health but they always wear me down.
