[Sephora]

Just a gentle reminder that Ninja Gaiden 2 is $10 off retail today only at BB.

No indication on the website, but I'm pretty sure it's a one-day price.

I may PM it at FS, then hold on to it until the bloody demo finally gets released.

No love for this?

The BB at Bay & Dundas should be sold out now, but the FS yesterday had plenty of stock.

It's sitting here wrapped until the demo comes out, but I don't know if I can wait that long.

This is also a trade 3, get it free title at EB Games. For those not wanting to find $8+ valued games to trade, this is a fair deal.

True RFD'ers would PM at FS ($59.99) for the extra $1 off though....:cheesygri

does this game worth chipping out $60 or no? I already played and owned NG Sigma for the PS3 and I enjoyed it, if it's the samething, might not worth my money and time at all

Are you sure they never had it to begin with? The BB & FS near me at Northland Mall in Calgary still do not have this game in stock and never did to begin with but all the other BS & FS in Calgary seem to have stock.

Thanks OP, PM'd a copy at FS on my way to the driving range this afternoon! :)

If you enjoyed Sigma then you would like this, this is the sequel.

It's been at this price all week, I thought about cancelling my order through amazon, although saving the $10 makes me want to wait another couple of days.

I just came back from the BestBuy on Merivale in Ottawa which have quite a few left and I paid only 49.99$ + tax. Looks like the one day sale price is still in effect at that location. I have a reciept I can scan if that will help others PM or something.

NGS pee'd me off. Some parts were just so hard.

you haven't seen NG2 yet. it will pissed you even more especially in the last 2-3 chapters and framerate issues but still enjoyable

I really liked Ninja Gaiden, but the games are just too hard for casual gamers to get into. The difficulty is poorly balanced and most people will shelve the game rather than spend hours retrying the same levels and bosses. Around level 5 I just said 'enough of this' and quit playing it. It's too bad as the graphics and gameplay were amazing, but the play balancing is so poor. I heard Ninja Gaiden 2 has the same problems. i'll probably still buy it when it hits around $25, but I wouldn't pay full price.

The reviews said the graphics of NG2 were poor, which surprised me given that Ninja Gaiden had awesome graphics for its time in 2004.

Way, way, way too difficult of a game

Games like this make me glad I'm a pirate.. This game is barely worth the $5 verbatim I burned it on

Got sick of it within 1 day

Enjoy dying 5000 times at incredibly annoying bosses

Yeah, the graphics are quite sub-standard for a Team Ninja game as is the awful camera. Gee, the producer (i forgot his name) who just departed Tecmo over back pay is such a cocky SOB. Perhaps he should spend more time with his titles instead of blowing sunshine up our arses.

Anyway, a weekend rental will suffice on this title.

Yup. 90% of people will quit playing after not being able to pass the 2nd level boss, after trying dozens of times.

The game is not just difficult, it's often unfairly difficult. Due to the poor camera angles the game is even harder and you will often be hit / killed by offscreen enemies.

Supposedly NG2 is even harder and cheaper than 1, so I really can't recommend it at full price.

[Sephora]

Yeah, I actually returned this after trying out the demo.

Got Grid instead; it's great!

Just because a game is difficult for the average Joe, doesn't mean you should pirate it :)

Also, my personal experience with Ninja Gaiden 1, the 1st and 2nd bosses were just really tough, but eventually once I got past that, it gets a lot easier. It gets a lot easier simply because your skill level at controlling Ryu will be better and you'll know how to block and time your attacks properly. It's not really a run around and hack and slash game. Well it is, but just a bit more skill involved I guess.

btw, this deal is dead, so it should be moved to the Expired Deals section.
