Ninja Gaiden Review

By Alex Kidman on 02 August 2004

While Ninja Gaiden is one of the hardest Xbox games to date, it's also one of the most satisfying.

    • Good: Amazing combat engine and gameplay.
      Amazing graphics.
      Just the right difficulty. ok ok maybe a bit hard.
    • Bad: Ummmm...

    The most awesome game i've ever played besides Devil May Cry 1 and 3. The game just plays so well! The controls are perfect, the enemies ai is awesome and the combat engine is simply marvelous. Anyone who says this is a button masher is a FOOL! plus the game's graphics litteraly crap on anything else! Ryu is one cool dude doing everything you ever dreamed ninja's could.

    • Good: The story is great and it's action packed.
    • Bad: Nothing new really about this game. It's more of a very hard button masher then anything else. Could use more stealth involvement. Buttons are delayed occasionally. Erratic Camera angles becomes annoying. The game is hard mainly because of the camera angles and view.

    A great game, but could be better

    After reading review after review on how great this game was I personally was a bit disappointed. The story and most of the game play is great, but there was enough bugs and nuisances with a few button delays. Also this game sadly is hard not because it's a hard game, but because the camera angles can get in the way so badly. I thought for a ninja game it could have used some more stealth involvement. Sadly it really was mostly a button masher with very little character involvement.

    Awesome game.

    It never gets boring. It's impossible for this game to suck just like it is impossible for Ryu Hayabusa to not kick ultra butt.
