Ninja Gaiden=AWESOME!!

I love Xbox and I love this game. The storyline is original based on getting revenge on the Vigoor Empire for the destruction of your village. The weapons, creatures, and bosses are the key to this game's flight to the no.1 Japanese ninja action game ever created for the Xbox. I can't wait to get Ninja Gaiden Sigma because it just might surpass the original!!

Classic Ninja, New Story

This is probably one of the best games ever produced and not just because it looks pretty. Ninja Gaiden for Xbox hsa every element of classic fun, original, and difficult gameplay any gamer would be proud to have taken part in the adventure. This game is not esay, but the satisfaction at finishing the story will bring back more fun than you have probably had in years. The gameplay is fluid with every ninja slash, jump and wall run. There are some slight issues with the camera at points, but nothing serious. The story line is original enough, but holds true to the classic feel of the original Ninja Gaiden series. The games graphics are even better than what you would expect for an Xbox title, but it is Team Ninja and they usually don't fail when trying to supply gamers with eye candy. The real gold in the game is the gameplay and boss fights. The boss fights are some of the most challenging gamers will have to endure on their Xbox consoles. The difficulty modes increase challenges add for almost endless replay value if you're up to the challenge. The Hurricane Pack downloads from Xbox live also add new content and challanges to the game which help any hardcore player get the most for their buck. Anyone who has an Xbox should purchase this title because it is one of the best in years for any console.

amazing game

Excellent graphics, excellent gameplay, excellent soundtrack, this game's got it all. Although at some points it can seem that it is ridiculously hard but if you grit your teeth and keep playing you will have discovered a great game.

Outstanding addition to the series

The graphics are great, the story is well thought out. You are a ninja. Need more? You can bounce off the sides of building, walk on water, and do awesome killing moves. The graphics are crisp, and gameplay is very intuitive. If you ever were a fan of this franchise, this is the game for you.

The Ninja Unleashed!

Disappear for over a decade, Ryu Hayabusa is back, and in full force. Storyline 3.75 - It's the same origninal ninja story seeking revenge. The story revolves around the Dark Dragon Blade. Their descendants formed the Hayabusa ninja clan, and Ryu Hayabusa was one of them. The blade is stolen, and Ryu must recover it. Gameplay - 4.5 The camera angles may get fustrating from time to time but the overall the enemies are relentlessly realistic, tough, and will challenge you. Graphics - 5.0 - Two words: simply beautiful. Overall - 4.5 Ninja Gaiden has come a long was from when it debted on the NES nearly ten years ago. It has evolved into one of the most stellar games of today.
