What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It sometimes DOES have that unmistakable "Unreal" look to it, but most of the time the game is definitely gorgeous with its lighting, shadows, and colour vibrance.
Ninja Gaiden 2: Black is a remake that merges the essence of the Xbox 360 original with the added characters from Sigma 2 on PS3.
Everything is upgraded to look the part for today's standards, and the actual gameplay is still the same fun, flashy, high-octane it's always been.
Pro Tip to help deal with this: The Camera Reset Button (RB on controller) is your best friend, so make liberal use of it.
- Good soundtrack
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
