The game is a simple updated imitacion of capcom's Devil may cry, shame o you ninka team. The game is great but at that price you can get something better (prince of persia to start), buy it if you are a die hard fan, and i will say it again. Shame of you Tam ninja
This game is ONLY for the hardcore gamer

Ninja Gaiden is a great game. The graphics are great. The gameplay is great. The sound is great...ish. Now, by this point you pobably are wondering why i gave that game 4 starts, well, it's because this game is hard as hell. I've never bean so mad at a game in my life, ever not even the final boss(god mode) in "god of war" as much as this game. Its not that this game has gliches or losses save files, oh no. Its the fact that I cant play for more then ten min. without waning to smash my t.v. to bits. I would rather play god of war or devil my cry or something were I can kick a whole lot of ass and fell good doing it. Truthfully I dont understand the hipe the games not THAT good. it seems like the harder the game is the more hipe it gets, like its a good thing to be pissed off wile you play a game. See I play videogames to have fun, not to get pissed off. I can understand wanting dificulty and chalange in a game but this game takes it a little to far. geting killed by a grunt ninja is not my idea of fun.
P.S. I'd wait till the expantion for Ninja Gaiden comes out it will have an easy mode so you and I can get back to some good old
Alternatives to Ninja Gaiden:
Onimusha 3 (PS2)
Devil May Cray 1,2,3 (PS2) (DMC2 wasnt as bad as everyone said it was)
God of War (PS2)
Legacy of Kain: Defiance(XBOX)
Prince of Persia 1,2,3 (XBOX,PS2)
(Please forgive me if spelled anything wrong)
Should be good

I have played upwards of 150 action games so when i see screenshots to a game i can usually tell if it will be good. well the screens look very good the only thing that could mess up this game is its difficulty but most people who play action games are hardcore gamers so this game is lookin better than most xbox action releases.

Microsft is liying about the relese date of the Xbox 2, the console will have a secret launch somewhere in july, they are not telling this news for the community because no one will buy xbox anymore. I also know from a reliable source inside microsoft that XBOX LIVE is sending a undetectable worms to 20% of the xbox users ( mostly die-hard-fans), the worms destroys the hard-dribe of the xbox be overloaing it. Send this to every xbox user, don't let the propaganda fool you, they'r playing with our money just for getting extra cash. This is no joke remember XBOX 2 will come in july with the name of XBOX: EVO.-insider

Look what we have here. Sorry to "POP" your bubble Team Ninja, but it's really sad that you think you deserve credit for crafting the ultimate action game. It's so sad even the devil himself may cry.
I have finished the game now, and the credits prove..."thank Team Ninja for creating a classic" or something along those lines. This guy Itakigi has thrown Tecmo's credibility out the window(fatal frame and deception are original). This game supposidely in the works for 6 years, and yet numerous aspects are ripped off from multiple titles . Sure, you can use wall-running like Shinobi, but you have to put your share in too. Anything from the storyline(gothic demons in a ninja game??), characters(Trish = Rachel) you name it it was done somewhere else first. If I was capcom I'd file suit and take some of NG's retail revenue, because without the games in the first paragraph this game would not exist in this form, guaranteed. Think not, name me one SINGLE game Itagaki has done that has an OUNCE of originality. And when the press is too blind to see it you will contiune to get copy-cat games riding on name prestige on your system from Tecmo. There is a reason Citizen Kane is praised, and there is a reason I'm sticking up for DMC. Hint - they're the same exact reasons.
Lastly:
Graphics - See any credible Doom 3 review.
Sound - The effects are all there. The soundtrack is on ADD and can't keep focused for even one chapter.
Gameplay/design - It's not that hard, it's stressful in lots of cases to to a lazy camera. Lots of the truly hard parts are optional, and there is this huge move list...but most of the weapons are not practical. The highlight is the AI and fighting engine, but that isn't always great due to bad/cheap/repetitive level design that rear it's head occasionally. Other than that, everything here has been seen elsewhere.
Is the Original Arcade Classic Finally Coming Out?

I remember this game back when it first debuted in the arcades way back in the late 1980's.
The thing is, is that none of the big video game companies (Nintendo, Sega, Turbo Graphix 16, etc...) never developed the original Ninja Gaiden, two player version for their systems.
I'm hoping that this is the real deal hear, a new version of the original 2 player arcade based game, not that cheap rip off One player version that was originally developed on Nintendo.
UPDATE:
Well, I guess after all this is going to be that cheap rip-off
one player version.
This game should not even get a one star rating if it cannot be created the right way.
So save your money and buy a game that will be worth spending your hard earned money on!
This game's gonna be hot!

This game is definately gonna be hot. Don't mind the guy who mad at people who rate games before they are released since he gave it a 5 star rating himself. I specifically remember seeing a video preview that was about 3 minutes long on a preview disc that came with my Xbox magazine long before he saw it a some show. So maybe other people saw that demo too, eh? Don't be so quick to judge there pal. Anyway, buy this game, it's gonna rock!
AN AMAZING GAME BUT...

this game is just plain amazing. Graphics are amazing, the gameplay is somewhat easy and really sweet. but the only thing that i do not like is the lack of save points in certain stages. Also the bosses are very hard. But the game is amazing, and i can get past these problems ...
