These review scores are really inconsistent.Kintaro said:
The Gamespot reviewer said that NMH2 was an overall improvement upon the first one but they gave it a lesser score. The same with GT review.
Oh well, who cares. Fuck Europe, I want this game

In half an hour I cleared my way to the first ranking battle. In the process I think I've seen my ecstasy mode unleashed, mauled thugs as a tiger(!), unleashed beat katana powers, and attacked everything on speed. If its wrong to play a game were you suplex enemies in all manners and cut them like a hot knife through butter I dare say that's madness people. Now this is violence I want in my games. Damn I say gentlemen, hot damn.

WE WISH! =(
Anyways I finally was able to beat the game and as for the strategy I used. . .it was the most simple thing that I didn't think of until I was getting desperate.
Rank 1 Strategy:
RUNNNNNNNNNN!For his 2nd forms Teleport punches,DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DODGE,DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BLOCK,JUST RUN AND DON'T HAVE LOCK ON ACTIVATED!I was able to evade them 75% of the time this way and felt stupid for not doing it sooner.The same goes for the Tornado Punches along with a roll or two.
Ending:
The killing blow was fuckin tame compared to what I REALLY wanted to see!The ending was abrupt as well and wasn't as satisfying as the first game,especially since I didn't get another Henry fight,unless you need crazy requirements to activate it.
Overall it was a huge improvement game mechanics wise but it lost a good amount of the charm from the first one along the way.If Suda 51 really didn't have as much control this time around he'll definitely need to be on board with more of his decisions for the next one.
Also:

A little under 7 hours in. Just beat
It really feels like it's going to end soon. If it does, I'm replaying this on Bitter. This game is too good to just zip through in under 10 hours or so.
Mimmy. Playing as Henry was actually pretty fun. Shinobu; not as much. She was still fine, but I would've rather fought Destroymen with Travis. Also, Ryuji has been my favorite boss so far. Dual-wielding is really awesome.

Biggest fix is the AA.
Jaggies are the only real flaw to the game's look.

I honestly think that now there's a chance the game will never see the light under RSG.
Marvelous announced yesterday that they've sold their stake of the company, which has now been acquired by another japanese publisher for mobile and pc content. All future games will be handled per publisher, like what happens in the US with XSeed for Muramasa and Ubi for NMH.
I think Ubisoft might now get the rights of NMH for EU as well after all.
They're probably working out a deal now, what's unclear it's if the deal with the new parent company of RSG included NMH2 (which has already been translated partly/fully and was in QA testing).
Damn, I don't want Ubi's sad booklets. -__-

Just beat
I really wish the names were said before the battle. As someone said, I've already forgotten most of them. I guess some of them being generic really doesn't help.
Margaret. Those weapons are awesome. I've always loved the idea of having gun barrels put in the false ends of melee weapons.

I don't get the yoga pose reference...
Anyway I think they only let you know the bosses name after you kill them is on purpose... as if you/Travis don't care who he/she is and just want it dead.
Anyway I am still hopping for a bonus content... near the end Naomi said her latest invention would take a while, that it was better to start earning money for it.

I can't believe they got rid of the raspy voice intros...It added a lot of flavor to the original... =(
I do think that the first bunch of bosses are
fairly generic on purpose in terms of names, because they are SUPPOSED to be forgettable...They are low on the totem pole...Then when you hit the Top Ten you start hitting the one word names and memorable faces...
Also, the fight against
Margaret is one of my favorite ever, even beating out Bad Girl...Just the whole atmosphere, the lyrics in the song relating to what's going on in the fight, and the sickening, yet oddly emotional, death sequence really etched itself into my mind

I feel kind of pissed that I missed flute girl and I am not even bothering to get the revenge missions, such a stupid design flaw.
edit:Gugh this game is worse then the first one by far, between the gym, jobs, no assassination missions, I am starting to hate this game.

The gym is freaking easy for most part. The jobs are mostly easy and fun and its not hard to buld money. The revenge missions are identical to assassination mission.

Yeah, it's a great fight. I just wish they said more. It's almost gotten to the point of them just saying "O hai, wanna fight? K" and then after that, it's "Oh look, I dead. Kthxbi." I know there wasn't really a ton of dialogue with a lot of the bosses in the first game, but you at least got a feel for their character. Here, they're dead before you even care about them.

The jobs are.......fun, that just blew my mind.EatChildren said:
Yeah, other then maybe number 10 no one was really built before the boss battle.cosmicblizzard said:

I give up, the game is perfect, jobs are fun, the gym is awesome, the bosses are godly, and the game is structured in a great way.Mayor Haggar said:
Well yeah the revenge missions are the assassination missions now, but there are no revenge missions which I always found fun to do without getting hit

Wait... so how exactly do you miss these assassination or revenge missions? Sounds like a design flaw. I'm about to pick the game up and don't want to miss out on anything.

there is nothing wrong with the story and gameplay, Also, I like they got rid of the bike, The jobs in this game are 2-D shit instead of 3-D shit to me, not one good game in them(and they brought back the worst 3-D game too). The game design is just a mess though, between the long cut scenes in the beginning with little fighting, to the first 40 rankings actually being 5-6 boss fights, and just the mix of 2-D mini games inside a 3-D main games is just a bad idea all together.Threi said:
If you go straight to 23, welcome to my club.somedevil said:
yankeeforever2 said:
I actually unlocked the assassination missions after going pass 23 and higher. After I finished a ranking fight I went out did a job or the mission preview and then went back to my hotel and unlocked it.
Also the jobs are much better then the first one. Love bug busters. Also, the gym is better I actually got strength this time. I didn't unlock any in the first one.

Quick question. So I'm going through the rank 50 area and I broke open a chest and what looks like a magazine is floating there. I picked one up in the first part of the level but can't seem to pick this one up. Anyone encounter this problem?

Those are for the ecstasy gauge, if it's already filled, you can't pick it up. It LOOKS like a collectible though.

I don't think you actually pick up the magazines, just learn the moves from them.
At least that's what I assume, since I never can pick them up, but seem to keep getting new wrestling moves.
Edit: Never mind. Guess that just shows how little I get hit and need to fill my Ecstasy Gauge. Heh.
