Sheer insanity packed into video game. Even with release of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black original version is considered the ultimate and the best version of this game and for a good reason. I doubt it'll ever appear in GOG library since there was no PC port of this game, but if somehow it did it would make a lot of people very happy to get their hans on the game that is considered classic at this point. I'm still playing it on my Xbox to this day and 17 years later there's nothing quite like it.

Ninja Gaiden is a series that will always be special to me, with NG2 easily being one of the best. The high speed action, the challenging gameplay, the original enemy count, all of it helped paint a "masterpiece" that can only be experienced with its original version. I recently recounted the entire series' history for an article, and while doing so it became very clear that this is one many will never get to experience. It is an Xbox 360 exclusive, with the only options to play it now being Xbox Live backwards compatibility. PC players deserve the chance to play it as well, and it should forever be preserved.
This is my Favorite Ninja Gaiden game, it brings combat and skill to a new hight, the ai nd level of dificulty felt always rewarding nd satisfying to beat. the choice of weapons was diverse and interresting to test different kind of combo s, it never felt boring or broken. This legendary gem has to come back in its original form on pc, make it happen Hayabusa fans !

Over fifteen years later, there is still nothing else quite like the original release of Ninja Gaiden 2. The combat dynamic of being a glass-cannon facing off against hordes of dangerous enemies you need to take down with careful thinking and precision remains exhilarating to this day. Each level is packed with new ideas, enemies, bosses, weapons, and setpieces. Ninja Gaiden 2 is possessed of an energy that few games can match. However low the chances of GOG being able to bring the original Xbox 360 release of Ninja Gaiden 2 to PC are, I strongly believe NG2 deserves it, especially since the only way it is currently preserved is through backwards compatibility on Xbox, a program Microsoft has since discontinued leaving NG2's future preservation deeply uncertain.
Surely an all time classic and beautiful for the testament of skill, vigor and tenacity. With this title we can re live the glory days of classic hack & slash that was lost to gaming a long time ago

The greatest action game ever created. A "once in a lifetime" strike of genius that far surpasses its critical limitations to stand alone at the submit of unadulturated, unfiltered and uncontrollable chaos.

One of the most insane action game's I've ever played. Nothing comes even remotely close. I'd love to see this version of the game brought forward in some way.

Just a good hack and slash game. One of the greats. I like every version, but it would be nice to be able to round it out and have the original as well. I know it probably isn't possible but it would be nice.

2008 i was still in Jr High, had the cool older kid in my village show me this game on 360. I couldn't believe how amazing it was, that i saved money for a year to buy the console and play the game. I still have the copy and that Xbox. One of my favourite games of all times, I have beat it more times than I can remember. After beating NG2B I still booted the original, graphics are nice, but this game and specific version is special. Please make it happen

Shrek 2
Shrek 2Game based on the second movie, developed by the makers of Vigilante 8. Shrek is on a journey to meet his in-laws, so Shrek 2 follows his adventure to Far Away Land and the chaos that ensues once Fiona's parents learn that their precious daughter is an ogre -- and is married to the crudest of them all. Shrek 2 features a mixture of puzzle solving and enemy bashing. Players are able to control one of four characters at any given time -- swapping between them at will. Each character has a set of basic attack moves and a special ability. Donkey has a "Burro Blast" that can knock down large objects, Shrek can pick up and throw heavy objects, and Fiona -- in a nod to her fight scene in the first movie -- can slow down time, Matrix-style.
