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.

Upon reading others reviews it is impossible to rate this game because it is still in development. There isn't even a possible demo yet. I saw the game at Tokyo Game Show 2003 on Sept 27 Sunday a week ago ( I live in Japan). It really erks me when people rate a game that isn't done yet. I have seen about a 4 to 7 minute demo which is what I based this reveiw off of. In this game, which includes the main character running up walls and utilizing a variety of weapons including nun chucks, bow and arrows, and a sword there is smooth transition and interaction. The enemies are well developed characters also which includes a white haired buff guy that sports nun chucks, a dinosaur skeleton and zombie like creatures. I have to tell you that out of all of the games at the game show this game was the most impressive action game there. It was the only fast paced (unlike the stealthy Metal Gear Solid 3) action game that wasn't a devil may cry rip off, unlike cy girls which is a devil may cry slash metal gear rip off that I somehow managed to like anyway. This is the breakdown of the 10 best games at the show:
1. Half Life 2 (PC)
3. Ninja Gaiden (X Box)
2. Metal Gear Solid 3/Twin Snakes (PS2/ Gamecube)
3. Gran Turismo 4 ( PS2 sorry not a big racer fan)
4. Berserk (New PS2 game)
5. Shadow Hearts 2 (PS2)
5. True Fantasy Online (X Box)
6. Dinosaur Hunter (PS2)
7. Resident Evil Online (PS2)
8. Otogi 2 (X Box)
9. Suikoden 4 (PS2)
10. Eye Toy (PS2)
There will be a lot of Devil May cry clones coming out, so be on the look out. I never take time to write review but when I saw the rating for this game at a three star and it isn't even out yet I was upset because I know a lot of people buy games on Amazon and other online marketplaces, and they use the star review to buy their games, so trust me when I say this, this game is hot. But maybe you should wait for a professional review, but I aint, because this game along with other Tecmo titles convinced me to buy an X Box. nuff said.
A Graphic Masterpeice!!!

Just looking at this game's screenshots is enough to make someone want to buy this game. It truly harnesses the graphic prowess of the Xbox processer. But, of course, graphics don't make a game. With this game series' excellent history, however, I doubt there is much to worry about with how this game turns out.
If you are the type of buyer that uses Amazon's star rating system to decide whether or not to buy a game, disregard it on this one. The person who gave this a one-star rating obviously didn't rate it right, because in his review, he praised the game.
This game will almost undoubtitely live up to its predecessor's legacy. It's a must-buy.

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!

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!

I also don't like to review games before they come out. Usually, the person doing a review is uninformed and gives out incorrect information. However, I don't think that it is justified to give a game a one star rating just to spite someone because they had some information you didn't. Anyway, Ninja Gaiden will be a game similar to Devil May Cry (Lets hope that its not too similar to DMC 2) with graphics that are characteristic of other games released by tecmo like DOA 3. I watched a tech demo of this game and the game mechanics seemed quite good, with a good mix of both sword and hand to hand attacks. I also hear that the game will have a ninja star like boomerang thing, which is always a good sign. The game will also feature the original ninja gaiden and a few of the arcade ninja gaidens from the late 80's and early 90's. Tecmo hasn't let us down yet and I feel that they will live up to their standards with this game.
This game can be put in 1 word...WOW!

Looking at all the screens of this game is amazing, ive seen video demos(Xbox magazine) of this game and it's amazing. I can hope my along with all the other gamers and say " This will be the best action game on the Xbox, or on any other console". I don't know how the online part of this game will work but im sure it will satisfy gamers. But please,lets hope the game will come out on Feb.10. I'm sure it will be exciting and fun. Graphically amzing and and I hear there are great controls.

Been a huge Ninja Gaiden fanatic ever since the old Nintendo days, and after seeing all the screens and watching a few of the videos all I got to say is WOW!!! I'm totally amazed, it's sure come a long ways. I've already Pre-Ordered my copy and anxiously awaiting the day it arrives. Hope they keep them coming, I'd love to see them create another sequel like they did with the Nintendo version.
