Devil May 4 vs. Ninja Gaiden 2

Devil may Cry 4 is a follow up on the 3 Devil May Cry's which feature a main Character called Dante. He being a demon fighter whos a bit egocentric has quite the attitude and really shows how you cn put good gameplay with a less seriouos character and a good story on the Sony Playstation 2 and Be successful. Now in DMC4 there's a new character who incedently looks exactly like Dante. His Name is Nero. Dante usually fights with an over sized sword and wields a fw guns while hes at it. Now with Nero in the picture he's got a special hand which can do some new tricks, as well as a sword and some guns. The story of the game is not to be revealed because spoilers aren't everyones cup of tea, but you'll really enjoy this one, and it's not necessarily timed right after Devil May Cry 3, (could be in between 1-2 or 2-3) as far as the stories timeline goes.

Ryu Hayabusa is a Ninja fighting for revenge and you'll see in videos that he is really angry with his enemies, otherwise he's just sick. This is Ninja Gaiden 2 and you'll notice how much of a gory beat-em-up this game is, but a very hard game. Ryu Hayabusa is the coolest ninja of all time and he is going to prove something with all very cool weapons such as ninja stars, swords, wolverine like claws (longer than wolverines) and ninja staffs, ect. The first three games of Ninja gaiden did not let anyone down but were never the most popular games.


Comparing the two is a bit harder than I expected. I noticed that in Ninja Gaiden you do have to pause the game to switch weapons, and Devil May Cry 4 is weapon change in real time. Hey you know some people like to take a break, and you might need to after chopping opponents in half, their heads off (ect). Devil May Cry is quite rewarding compared to Ninja Gaiden where you kill an enemy and the bar at the top might fill up and say "Carnage" or "pwmage" or something to that effect. Ninja Gaiden will have a feature more exciting than I thought at first, but it will have a fighting element where you can cut an enemies lims off, but they'll comtinue runing, shaking or crawling their way to you. Devil May Cry has not been said to have this feature, but if you play both you'll see that the physics in Devil May Cry are more freelance, where ninja gaiden everything thats done might be hard but is at least humanly possible, at least most things.

What do you have to say about the biggest action games coming to 08 Consoles?

Now that both games are out, Ninja Gaiden 2 is definitely better in all aspects.
More fun, more stylish, no backtracking. On a whole, a lot cooler.
