If for some unknown reason you missed the showing of the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo in Microsoft's pre-TGS media briefing, then here's an extra-bloody treat: the video of the demo itself, from beginning to end. No longer will you have to endure with only the trailer to watch - now you can see Itagaki's latest brainchild in action.

From ninjas, to kung-fu masters in military attire, and then to bipedal dragons - watch Ryu take them all on, in some of the most realistic and jaw-dropping visuals yet.

This bad boy from Tecmo runs for about ten minutes, so you might want to pick up your jaw off the floor before something runs off with it. Yes, it's that good. There's a bit of an issue, though, when Ryu charges up a ninpo attack with his claws - the camera starts jerking around with every slash - but other than that, it's a silky-smooth trip down decapitation lane. Yours truly can't get over the fact that Ryu literally covers the ground with blood wherever he goes.

As the video's a bit violent, viewer discretion is advised. Otherwise, enjoy!
