Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: The ways of the ninja aren't something that the majority of us are familiar with. Yet Tecmo's new action-adventure Ninja Gaiden offers a fairly rigorous schooling. We'll forgive it that, though, because it's all in the name of one of the Xbox's finest, most enjoyable games. From the off, it drips with detail. Viewed from the third person, it creates a completely realistic 3-D environment for you to explore, and it pushes you along with an old-fashioned narrative of vengeance and retrieval. It's all an excuse of course to put you in the shoes of a ninja, with a big sword to boot. And heck, how you'll use it. That's because as you explore the game world, you'll find yourself continually having to fight off the numerous enemies that are in the way of your task. This is where the game really hits top gear. The fighting engine is outstanding, and few games pull off the marriage of intuitive controls, breathless action and variety of moves that Ninja Gaiden has. If you've ever found yourself complaining that gameplay often gets pushed too far down the priorities list for developers, then Ninja Gaiden is not just a welcome breath of fresh air, it's set to take pride of place in your gaming collection. One word of caution though before you sign up for the mission: this is a hard game--make no bones about it. Chances are you'll spend much of the first hour cursing yourself, as this is a game that requires skill from the off, and decent quantities of it. Random button pushers will not feel at home. Of course, in the long term, it's all the better for being so challenging, and crucially, it's entirely fair. When you die, it's simply because you're not good enough. It might be harsh, but you can hardly complain. With plenty to explore, upgrades to acquire and a very long lasting challenge, though, Ninja Gaiden deserves to shoot straight up the wanted list of the Xbox gamer. They really do still make them this good. --Simon Brew Manufacturer's Description: One of Tecmo's most treasured franchises is given new life in the action-packed Ninja Gaiden. The player takes on the role of the powerful and mysterious ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, who seeks revenge after his clan is massacred by the Vigor Empire. Boasting 100 per cent action, Ninja Gaiden will allow the player to unleash their inner ninja with smooth gameplay, speedy battle sequences and a variety of advanced acrobatic ninja moves from running and flipping off walls to hanging and swinging on rails. The player will also have a variety of primary and secondary weapons at their disposal that, when used in a combination, create advanced weapon attacks such as damaging wall-based assaults and all-powerful ultimate attacks. Xbox Live compatibility, a host of challenging levels and visually exquisite environments are just a few more reasons why Ninja Gaiden raises the bar in the action-gaming genre. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Outstanding36 hours. That's how long it took me to beat Ninja Gaiden Black on normal mode. Considering that I spent alittle under a round of drinks in the pub for it makes it value for money and easily crowns the game the best game I own on the 360. I've played gears of war and lost planet both to completion along with the Halo series but this is the game that draws me back for more.In short this is single player heaven. Buy this game and relish every moment. Rating: - Frustrating at times but ultimately rewardingIve finally completed the game on normal mode after over a year of trying.During this time Ive almost wept tears of frustration(i.e Ive just defeated an uber difficult boss after several attempts but before I have a chance to save I get killed by some minions and have to fight the boss all over again). Many times I put the game away vowing never to touch it again but theres something about it that just keeps u coming back for more. Perhaps its the crisp,detailed graphics which wont look out of place on the xbox 360,or the intuitive and responsive contols which transforms your character into the ultimate killing machine? Whatever it is it had me hooked until the end credits rolled and Ive been unable to find another game to match it since. ...

Psyched up and ready for the worst, I saved my potions and braved the first boss. I beat him on the first evening, got to level 4 on the second night. I'm not some gaming guru, Ninja Gaiden isn't that hard. The combat is superb. Jump into a group of eight ninjas, block, block, roll, cut, cut, kick, finish and come out clean. You will feel very formidable, very quickly. Concerntrate, and you'll be fine just remember that this game punishes predictable play. It's pretty and the music's nice. But the puzzles are not the best and the exploration is a bit iffy. The village and town levels are the least successful with ... Read More: Rating: - UNFREAKINBELIEVEABLEI feel pround of myself as I write. Why? I managed to finish Ninja Gaiden, even if it was only on normel. This game is the height of my beloved hobby. The graphics were the best around when the game came out, and somehow only blockbusters like Oblivion have topped it since. If you want to see how good they are, then look at Ryu's eyes in any of the cutscenes. Somehow they have captured the shine that eyes give off. The music is fantastic too. Go into settings and listen to "Alma Awakened," it is some of the best music ever. The story is also nice. It's interesting, and keeps your attention. It also has some unexpected twists. The actual gameplay though is where the beauty of this game lies. Well, you get to be a Ninja, how cool is that? You basically ... Read More: |
