XBLM Deal of the Week: Ninja Gaiden II DLC

i bought it. it's fun, but you'll get tired of it pretty fast. i paid the regular price for it back in the day, and i don't think i've played it for more than 4 hours.

it's WAY harder than the actual game, since you can't save mid-mission. also, the missions are usually just areas from the game, filled with a million enemies spawning there. the exception to this is when they throw you in an arena, and you only have 1 weapon, and you have to kill as many guys as you can before you die. those are the most fun missions.

also, there are only 20 or so missions, one quarter of which are "go kill these bosses". totally impossible (but that's why i love the game lol)

IMO, the price is still a bit high. it's worth about $5.

I was thinking the exact same thing, 5 bucks wouldnt be too bad for this... otherwise i might wait til next week even tho im pretty sure it will be the Original Fable on sale

Its pretty good. But I am a little biased, I really liked NG2.
I would have liked a few new settings, and some of the challenges are really hard, but overall, worth it.

I still haven't finished it ..... and I consider myself a decent NG2 player. I am playing the full game on Mentor difficulty, and am half way through in that, but there are some missions that are just impossible to do. Especially, since a few of them require you to play through what is essentially a mini-level with enemies and a boss at the end. The problem is, these mini-levels dont have any save points, so when you die at the boss, you have to do the whole thing again.
I have put in over 4 hours into it, but that is counting the countless retries on few of the missions.
