re: Ninja gaiden 2 is HARDER than ninja gaiden 1

I agree and disagree.

I think NGB is smarter. The ninjas are much more intelligent and put up a much better fight. You actually have to think to beat them, and use your skills.

This one is difficult because enemies have a lot of uninterruptable moves that deal a lot of damage. The whole "recharging health system" which was intended to make the game easier actually makes combat harder. To compensate for the fact that your health recharges after every battle, the designers made it so that at every battle your health goes down to very low levels. On harder difficulty levels this system is a much bigger liability.

But the combat itself feels dumbed down, and you could literally win the vast majority of your battles with the Y button alone.

On top of this we're spammed with bosses that do very little in the way of challenging us other than find the weakness and then attack. These bosses deal massive amounts of cheap damage that are unavoidable sometimes. Plus, some are just plain stupid. A giant armadillo that rolls around and shoots fireballs from its shell? Ridiculous. My favorite bosses were Genshin and Elizebet because they actually felt like some of the bosses in NGB. They were skillful, and you in turn had to be skillful as well.

So in summary:

NG1 = Fun Hard
NG2 = Cheap Hard
