The Ninja Gaiden II demo has been released onto the UK Live servers and is now available to download.
The demo takes place in Chapter 1: Sky City Tokyo, where you’ll have access to an expanded set of weapons (4 primary and 2 projectile weapons + 2 Ninpo powers) and plenty of Black Spider Ninja Clan to dismember. Play through roughly 3/4 of the chapter using the new and better balanced Path of the Acolyte difficulty.
This is the same section that I played before handing our review copy over to Philip and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed turning the Black Spider Clan into sushi and running on walls…
I have never been a huge Ninja Gaiden fan but this one has made a concerted effort to stay in touch with normal gamers and hopefully everyone will give it a try at least.

However all you lucky folk can just use the X-Spl0it method

@lazy or anyone else who has played demo or pre release code please tell me what they thought of the difficulty? I REALLY REALLY wanna get this game but after trying out sigma on the weekend i fear i shall throw my remote.
Dont get me wrong i dont expect it to be finishable by a two year old but sigma was just insane.

I cannot release to much info around the game, due to restrictions, hence my preview was nothing like I wanted it to be. All I can say is, you are not going to be dissapointed!!!
