The gameplay feels a lot like Tekken 6 single-player, where you move through the world with raised fists, mobilizing all of your move arsenal against hordes of fighters and stage-bosses.
The biggest difference is that Ninja Gaiden 2 in that respect is f**** bloody! Plus, your moves are not bound to your fighter, but your weapon. That means that every weapon has its own list of moves, a lot of moves!
This game goes beyond hack-and-slay games like God Of War, Bayonetta, Star Wars Force Unleashed and so on...
You have to learn which weapon is most effective against which opponent type, and you have to know the move-combos. You might get away with button-smashing on the easiest difficulty, but the sooner you actually learn to fight the more effective you become. And fights will look way cooler, if you do a 10-hit combo instead of interrupted stabs.
This is what I see as the most challenging and innovative part of the game: you have to learn to fight to survive. There are lot of games out there where you get rewarded every few minutes for something, where everything is just so challenging that you feel having reached something. That's bulls***! I even hate the new Starcraft for throwing around with achievements. You made 5 battles and no matter if you won or not, you'll get an achievement!
I like challenging games with a learning curve. Gory and bloody games with a learning games are even better.
If you like gameplay of fighting games like Tekken, where you're provided with a bunch of moves, but always wanted more story, weapons and blood, you should definitely go for Ninja Gaiden 2.
