Second boss sucks ass. So does the rest of the game. Kill the boss' two goons and then do super combos on him. He' ll go down in 3 or 4 attacks. What is a " super combo" ? Hell if I know. I hate combos.

Which one is the second boss. I got stuck on a bit with no bosses in an ice cave, damnit! I' d just beaten the apparent hardest boss in the game too, easily, on my first try.

Ninja Gaiden is ace. As creator Itagaki-san told Kikizo not so long ago, " when the testers said " this is too difficult" , I made it even more difficult."

Itagaki is an asshole and I honestly have no respect for him. What a moron! I guess he didn' t want the testers to find all of the bugs. Thanks, you prick!

the second boss is the guy on the horse in hyabusa village on the bridge just after you fight these other guys on horses

I wouldn' t call Itagaki a moron, arrogant yes, but moron by definition is someone below average intelligence, and I don' t think anyone below average intelligence would have created so many great games this gen.

He can be a moron sometimes. Making a game harder because testers complain it is too hard (and therefore can' t test levels they can' t get to) is a moronic thing to do. He does not deserve my respect.

It would have been funny as heck had they shipped out a game that had many bugs and glitches in the later levels simply because Itagaki had made the game so hard that even its own testers couldn' t reach those levels to report the bugs and glitches, hehe.. I wonder if Itagaki had any input on the final level of Virtua Quest cause that thing is pretty tough to, lol..

Nah. Virtua Quest is super-baby-easy compared to Ninja Gaiden, even the last level. I think Itagaki is just a masochist.

To be honest I did like Ninja Gaiden... what I played of it. But to make the game hard for the sake of it being hard is rubbish. I saw some video' s from the second Ninja Gaiden Hurricane Pack Championships. The guys playing must have been Ninja Gaiden gods to get there yet the bosses were so overpowered nobody stood a chance. What on earth is the point of that?

I only stopped playing because after super powered boss from super powered boss I lost interest in spewing blood, sweat and tears just to get to the end of the game.

I just started playing the game too. I played it when it first came out but got frustrated with it. Now my second time around I' m doing pretty good. I just beat that giant skeleton dragon thing. He wasn' t all that hard surprisingly. I beat him on the first try. Those f*cking zombie things right before him sucked hardcore a$$ though. I died so many times fighting those things.
