Useless Game

Let me start off by saying that I do not play many action games, and even fewer action games on a consol so my review is for those like me who are getting blinded by all the action gamers giving this game 5/5 stars. This has to be one of the most annoying titles ever made. I don't care about the difficulty, it's not that hard... just takes time for understand just what you have to do at any given point. What I hate is the awful game choices that Tecmo made. Like the very annoying respawning bad guys. The way the later levels are designed you have to back-track and search around a big level and you will end up fighting the SAME bad guys over and over again. That is just stupid. The second thing I really hated was the total lack of places you could save. This is such a cheap move by the makers, as they didn't want to actually make a long title, so to increase length they made it so you have to play the same sections over and over and over again until you get it right. 20 hours of gameplay my hinney. You chould beat this game in one sitting if you could save whenever you wanted! And the X button, what a JOKE! Let's make the quick attack button the same as the interact button that way when you are fighting near a door you will ALWAYS trigger it and step through. Coupled with the re-spawing bad guys makes this even more annoying. You fight 4 or 5 at a time, kill 2 or 3, accidentally hit x at the "wrong" time and leave, only to return to fight the original five again! This happens all the time, trust me. The rooms are small and the trigger for the doors is pretty hard to miss. Who cares, I ask you, about pretty graphics if the game sucks? Can anyone say Quake 3?

this game is way too hard. i was ready to throw it out the window as soon as i died from the first boss.. but no i stuck with it and beat him.. just to find out he was on my team.. ugh. next level.. complete idiot on a horse with dissapearing guys helping him? impossible odds. note this was on the easy setting too.. i would hate to think of what the hard mode is like. this game dissapointted me. its just too damn hard. i like a challenge but this game was so hard that it just wasnt fun anymore. not for those of short tempers

Far too frustrating, save your money

Now that I have actually PLAYED the game, I have to say all the reviews leading up to it were misled by pretty graphics and cool moves.

The game is frustrating enough that after spending 3 hours on the first boss, I shattered my controller in rage. I've never done such, but this in NOT what I look for in a game. I bought a game for FUN, not controller-breaking rage.

I will be writing whatever developers I can, and I will keep writing reviews reflecting my serious disappointment in this game. Even if I stick with the game, the first boss may take me 4 hours, but the second boss will take maybe 10. And I am no pushover gamer either. If you LOVE something challenging, spend you money learning Differential Equations, it is far less frustrating. for those who play games because games are fun as they should be, save your money. Seriously. Or look for my copy up for sale if you really wish to buy.

Itýs dejavu

If you played "Onimusha" before, then you've played this game. If you played "Devil May Cry" before, then you've played this game. If you played "Shinobi" before, then you've played this game. Add to this some absolutely horrible camera angles and this game equals: IT SUCKS! This is one of the biggest disappointments in a video game I've experienced in a while. Did they think because "Devil May Cry" is a PS2 exclusive and this is a Xbox exclusive that no one would recognize it's the same game? Wrong. You might think those are pretty good games to emulate, but those games had some decent (if not good) camera angles. Good luck trying to see where the attack is coming from during some crucial boss fights in this game. There's a good doge move your character can perform where he effortlessly rolls in any direction. This would be a great defense except that the camera seldom stays centered on you. You'll find yourself trapped in one corner or edge of your T.V. only to find your being hit from something off screen. How are you expected to dodge a move you cant see coming, ninja intuition? This game does look great but if that's all your interested in rent the "Final Fantasy" movie.

I guess Japanese honor is dead. A few hundred years ago the creators of this game would have thrown themselves on their swords for a debacle of this magnitude.

Hardest Game Ever!!!!!!!!!

DON'T BUY THIS GAME unless you have hours and hours of frustration time. This game will leave you throwing you controller and cursing the at the TV. Only NORMAL and HARD difficulties to choose from makes the game impossible to beat.

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!

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

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!

only for DOA fans. other than that, the game is pretty flat

it controls similar to DOA games. just another button mashing game. sure the fans of the xbox will praise it cause this is one of the very very few games that carry the crap system besides Halo.
the game's graphics are ok. nothing spectacular.

xbox sucks
