Best Xbox Game Released

Ninja Gaiden is the best Xbox game I have ever played, I consider it even better than HALO. The grafix are some of the best the system has to offer , the controls are some of the best of any video game ever scripted , the soundtrack is excellent for a video game, the cut scenes are 2 thumbs up & CG Cinema Quality , and last but surely not least you will get many hours of game play from this release.

It's the best $20 you'll ever spend on your Xbox.

MUST BUY FOR ANY XBOX FAN

This is not a game for the casual gamer. You have to focus on this game and commit to learning the finer points of all the weapons. If you expect to mash some buttons, look up some suggestions online, and beat the game, don't waste your money. I've been playing the game for months and beating the Hard Level was insane. I can't even imagine what the hardest levels are like. I shudder. This is a game for the Hardcore gamer to test themselves on. You can even upload your Karma scores online and see how you compare to the best in the world. My scores are just embarassing. I'll buy whatever game system I need to to be able to play Ninja Gaiden 2, but I hope it comes to the 360. I'm afraid to think of what the Achievements will entail.

This game is fun, although it is one of the hardest games i have ever seen. It takes a while to master, although once you do its worth it. The controls are fluent and the graphics are decent. The game is also quite long, making it worth the money. Unfortunately there is no multiplayer.

AWESOME, BUT FLAWED 8.75 OUT OF 10

Ninja Gaiden is one of the few games that makes you feel like a ninja, because of how well executed and slick the combat and graphics are. All of the missions and bosses are challenging, and they will slaughter and punish you because the game is just so freaking hard. The camera is flawed too, unfortunately. For example, you will notice how protagonist Ryu Hayabusa is a long distance away from the camera, which makes the combat difficult. And you will get lost a lot and have to find items and look at your map constantly. But, as anyone who likes this game will tell you these problems just lift away. If you're looking for a Ninja Gaiden that is not as punishing as this, go buy the awesome-looking Ninja Gaiden Sigma for Playstation 3, or wait until the Xbox 360-exclusive Ninja Gaiden II comes out in 2008.

Weirdly. I just now got around to playing this. It's probably the first game to challenge me and make me want to throw my controller against the wall in years. As a matter of fact. The last game that did that was Burgertime. And I was 7 years old.

Graphics. Sick

Controls. Are simply amazing. Not one glitch. It's all up to my timing and forethought.

Music. Is great for the game. And the game is already amazing. Even though it's pretty much ninja techno.

Difficulty. Well I've beaten on all the modes but one. And that one is currently making me curse my xbox. Master Mode is very very very hard.

Greastest Action Game...

....ever released for the original x-box. Greatest Action game I have ever beaten.. Backwards Compatible as well so it will work on your 360. Tells a great story and the gameplay is unbelievably amazing. You will get completely lost in this story and the ending with screw up your mind!! BE WARNED!! Not for the feint of stomach or aggrivated gamer who quits after a difficult game. THIS GAME IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, but well worth every hour & every cent!

Have we been waiting for this?

I don't know if im alone out here but i've been getting sick of a lot of new games coming out. It just doesn't seem to be as fun as before, But Ninja Gaiden has grabbed my attention. I loved the first one, and yes, it is HARD! But all it takes is practice and eventually i beat the game. Since i've had this i've liked it. It just seems that this is a new hack and slash game genre which i believe will be considered an xbox classic.

Good game but ridiculously and overboardly hard

This game is good and worth playing but it is frustratingly rudiclously hard. Having some difficulty is good but this game just goes completely overboard and after about the 30th time you die in the same level you just want to quit and never play it again.

Best game I have ever played.

Pretty much every other review on here sums up this game very well.

BUT....

A few changes to a few bosses have made this game much more difficult. A lot more bosses deflect Flying Swallow and so that makes them 500x more difficult. Bosses that do this:

Alma (second time you fight her)
Final Boss

Now they are much more difficult and you will need to actually try to beat them. Yes Alma 1.0 is still mind-numbingly difficult and she will still kill you in a matter of 10 seconds with one of her combos.

Most reviewers don't say this, but I think this is the most rewarding game I have ever finished, because once you are done you feel like you actually accomplished something rather than being "Ok well time to put it back on the shelf."

Check this game out on Xbox Originals (on the 360) or go get it used from gamestop, you will like this game.

Just be patient and you will like it.

Also, check out Ninja Gaiden II, its pretty good.
