I wasn't going to write anything about this game because I figured there would be plenty of people talking about how good it was. I was actually surprised to find a lot of people bashing it. Lets clear some things up! This is NOT a devil may cry clone. You can make stupid comparisons like that with any game. I will admit that the camera can be trouble some. But there isn't any other way that they could have done it. If it would've locked behind him then it really would've been difficult to fight because you're constantly changing directions as you fight. Plus if you hold down the right trigger the camera will stay behind ryu. I'll admit I'm not awe inspired by the graphics but they are very good. Go back and play halo again I have and they're not awe inspiring anymore either. This game has better graphics than 95% of the games out there so quit crying. Now the next issue the difficulty. This game can be hard but thats because games have become too easy in recent years. One person said that they spent 3 hours on the first boss??? Ok I'll admit that it was a little hard but it only took me about half an hour. Just pay attention to how the bosses attack and then plan your strategy accordingly. The bosses are old school. You can't just keep running up to them and slicing away and expect that after three hours of doing this that you're going to beat them. They have clues as to what attack they're going to do and you need to block or dodge accordingly. It can be difficult but thats what a good game should be... CHALLENGING!! I know I'm not the only one that has played the same part of a game over and over and kept loosing. The cussed and swore that I would never play it again, only to find myself back at the controls an hour later. Then there's a sense of accomplishment and the boss never seems to be as difficult again because you now know how to fight it. Some bosses may take a little while to defeat because you have to limit your attacks and dodge alot. I'm on chapter 6 right now in this game. I've gotten stuck on two bosses. The third chapter boss took me an hour and a half to beat but once I realized that I couldn't just attack attack attack, I ended up beating him and every boss after that. This game is fun, very challenging, it has great graphics, a few camera issues, great FMV scenes, great story, multiple weapons and unlockable combos, 3 hidden NES games. I really don't see anything that really makes this game a bad game. Unless you would prefer playing a game that isn't challenging. This game isn't perfect but its one of those really good games this year. If you haven't noticed there's only about 5 or 6 games each year that are truly good games. This is one of them.
Action Carnage at its best

I just purchased this game today and i'm speechless to how the game looks plays and feels. It puts any action game on the ps2 or Gamecube to shame and sets the bar for this genre PERIOD. Buy it today and you'll have the most fun you've ever had jumping from wall to wall in the goal of decapitating as many of your enemies heads as you can in one go . Play in moderation as it is an extremely addicting game.

Being a fan of the ninja/samurai genre, I bought this game the day it came out. I am to the third boss and so far it has not let me down. I am a bit upset at how difficult the bosses are, but it is no downfall to the game. I beat the first boss second try, the second boss first try and am now going to go on my second try on the third. This is a strategy RPG like game, but is worth every penny you'll spend for it. If you are one who buys based off of the star system, then do not hesitate to buy this. Ryu is a modern Bad Ass Ninja.
Great fun but gets very hard

This game has great graphics great sound and some nice action fun but when you get to the boss of each stage the game just gets ridiculusly hard. I would of given it 5 stars if it just didnt do this but it does. I wanted to give it 3.5 stars but cant select half stars since i think 3 stars is to low and 4 might be a bit high. So once you get this game be prepared for those boss fights and stock up on life pots every chance you get
Team Ninja does it again

I was recommended Ninja Gaiden by one of my friends who had just beat it and told me how hard it was. I also read all the reviews here that said how difficult this game was and I thought that it would be interesting to see how hard this game actually was. I was not let down at all by any facet of this game. Everyone complains about the difficulty and the camera but after you beat the first boss and figure out how to block and actually play the game the rest of the game is challenging but not hard. I did notice that the menus and other parts of the game looked like Devil May Cry, but this game was totally different and in some ways better. Just because save points and power-ups might look the same doesn't mean it's the same game. This is the first game that has truly been worth my $50 and I agree with another reviewer that said he would pay $70 for it. This game isn't a rental in that it took me about 25 hours of playing to beat so shell out the money for it, it is a worthy investment. I won't go into the gameplay because I'm not going to say anything different than anyone else has. This is the second best game for the Xbox to Halo and its a close second.
good game
