After weeks of teasing, Microsoft have finally released the much anticipated demo of Tomonobu Itagaki’s masterpiece Ninja Gaiden 2, his last run with the franchise. The demo takes place in the opening level of the game in Tokyo, where Sonia is trying to get hold of Ryu to tell him about a grave new danger that threatens the world.

The demo is available to all regions in Europe apart from Germany. Americans and Canadians have to wait till the end of the week to get their hands on the demo which isn’t really that bad considering the game is now out today in America. Be sure to check back for our review of Ninja Gaiden II coming very soon.
