THE GOOD:
Action packed storyline

Some nice extra features like the classic version of Ninja Gaiden.

It also provides quite a nice challenge with it's variety of difficulty settings.

THE BAD:
The camera is a little difficult to focus. Forcing you to hit right trigger(default controller setting) to center it.

SUMMARY:
Team Ninja comes out strong with Ninja Gaiden. The Hayabusa Ninja clan have for centuries guarded two Supernatural blades in their village in Japan. The Dark Dragon blade was carved out of the bones of an evil Dark Dragon, and legend has it that if the seal guarding it is ever broken, the sword will absorb all of the evil and suffering of the world, granting its owner great power, in exchange for them becoming evil. The clan also guards the Dragon Sword. Carved out of the teeth of a Dragon, the sword is said to have been used to slay Dark Dragons in times gone by.

THE GOOD:
Excellent graphics and storyline. Includes the original NES versions as unlockables. Some Xbox Live compatibility.

THE BAD:
Extremely high difficulty level. Horrible controls.

SUMMARY:
The first Ninja Gaiden game to hit the next-gen systems, this version again continues the journey of super-ninja Ryu Hayabusa, but takes his path in a different direction than the NES originals. This time it's a different quest for vengenance with new allies, new enemies, and even a familiar face or two from a certain other Tecmo/Team Ninja franchise...

The graphics are incredibly good. Everything shows an impressive level of detail, the frame rate never slows down during the action, and the cutscenes are gorgeously rendered. Sounds generally are just as impressive but do have a few stumbling points. The voice acting is solid and on target, but there's not a lot of variety in the effects, especially during battle scenes, and while the music...

THE GOOD:
.Great Graphics very impressive
.Very addicting
.Hard so it will last you a long time
.Fun racking up huge combos

THE BAD:
.The camera angle
.Sometimes to hard

SUMMARY:
This was the first x-box game I ever played and the first thing that came to my mind was wow! The graphics are amazing and the tricks you can do is very addicting. Once you pick it up you will want to keep playing since it is so addicting by the difficulty. You can buy new weapons and equipment which is a good idea and you can also some sort of magic. The only bad point is that the camera angle is extremely frustraitng. It is hard to see where the enemy's are at certain points. Otherwise it is good except sometimes you will want to cry because it is to hard. This game is a must to any xbox owner.

THE GOOD:
1. Graphics
2. Gameplay
3. Many weapons and enemies
4. Different bosses
5. Great story
6. Very Hard
7. Puzzle solving
8. Weapon combos
9. Old Ninja Gaiden games can be unlocked

THE BAD:
1. Camera takes a little getting used to

SUMMARY:
Ninja Gaiden by Tecmo is one of those games where you just cant stop playing. This game takes you through the story of Ryu Hayabusa, and you are in a ninja clan. You meet many different enemies and bosses along the way. There are a ton of weapons and many combos with each. The game difficulty is pretty hard. The lowest difficulty setting is normal, and that can be very frustrating. This game is for the hardcore gamer who wont quit after they die three times. It is not like the other hack and slash ninja games, where you can just do one combo the whole way through. This game takes a lot of patience if you want to complete it. There are many rewards for beating this game,...

THE GOOD:
-Hard
-Graphics/Cinemas
-Lots of moves and acrobatics
-Awesome boss battles
-Ninja's at their best

THE BAD:
-Hard, cuz this can be good or bad depending on who you are.
-Story isn't too great.
-Camera issues
-Certain jumping sequences can be a major pain
-Running out of items and finding the closest vendor can also be a pain sometimes

SUMMARY:
This game is not for a casual gamer. This game is for a hardcore gamer. Its hard. But its a beautiful game and a awesome challenge for anyone who wants it. The graphics and cinemas are well done, the graphics especially, being some of the best on the Xbox. The real focus of this game is the combat. If you can't master the combat you will not have fun in this game. You need to learn some combos, and learn who or what and when you can use them. The enemies take no prisoners and are merciless. If you don't know their weaknesses and which moves to use you will not make it...

THE GOOD:
Extreme Challenge for Ninja Gaiden fanatics.

THE BAD:
Difficulty Level

SUMMARY:
Ninja Gaiden Hurricane pack 2(HP2) is downloadable content from the xbox live service and is a free download for xbox live subscibers who currently own Tecmos Ninja Gaiden Title. HP2 is a Phase by Phase battle in which the main character Ryu Hayabusa battles it out with some of the original bosses and and powerful enemies from Ninja Gaiden. The idea is that this version was actually designed for use in the Master Ninja tournament held in tokyo for the worlds best "Master Ninjas". Several players from around the world were invited to challenge. To maximise your score in HP2 Ryu must get through every Phase with maximum kills and combos in a given time frame giving the player high "karma" which in other words is the score tally. The level design is a round arena with a force type barrier enclosing it where enemys spawn and where th fighting takes place....

THE GOOD:
Wow where to start,perfect gameplay,mesmerizing graphics,difficult for those who dont like easy games,you can unlock the first 3 nintendo Ninja gaidens so itd like buying 4 games.

THE BAD:
the camera......................yup thats about it.

SUMMARY:
Ninja Gaiden...........................................
I havent played a game this addictive since Devil May Cry.Well this game stars Ryu Hayabusa of the Hayabusa ninja clan.........but who cares!The story isnt the strong point here,its the crap in your pants,awesome gameplay.In the gameyou start out preety small,I mean your health is insignificant.But as you play through the game youl get stronger and stronger,attain new weapons,get magic etc.In the begging of the game the amount of moves you can use with your sword is not very much and preety simple,but as you level up your weapons,that allows you to use more moves and before you know it,youl have so many moves you wont know what to...

THE GOOD:
The Latest installment in the Ninja Gaiden franchise is a pulse pounding action adventure title worthy of the title "king of action/adventure". Not to be surpassed in graphics ,sound and pure depth.

THE BAD:
The only comment i have on the downside is that some gamers may find Ninja Gaiden frustrating if not unbearable at times due to the high difficulty setting. at first glance it looks like a straight hack n slash but it really takes skill and patience to finish this game.

SUMMARY:
After seeing the Ninja Gaiden preview more than a year ago i had no doubt in my mind that this was a title worth my attention. The graphics looked amazing and the bosses looked even better. As soon as the game was released i was straight down to eb to purchase a copy. What was waiting for me was the best action/adventure game i have ever played. The first couple of levels lets you get to grip of the style of defence and attack you will be using throughout...

THE GOOD:
+ Looks like a ninja, acts like a ninja
+ Surprising gameplay depth
+ Good level design
+ Nice, pretty graphics

THE BAD:
- Mean, ugly camera could be confusing at times
- Lack of save points can be frustrating
- Extremely hard

SUMMARY:
Ninjas used to be hardcore. They were the top criminals of ancient Japan, expertly trained killers who studied a dangerous, mysterious art. They were feared by lord and samurai alike, acrobatic assassins with little regard for honor or fair play. They'd run around on rooftops under the cover of darkness, often carrying all kinds of nasty poisons and flash bombs in their pockets.

For me one of tecmos GREATEST creations ever other den dead or alive whole series . This game has the whole ninja attitude and it rocks.From the shurikens ,swords , wall climbing ,rooftop running,the intensity,the characters . All in one single game !!!

Very addictive could kept u going...

THE GOOD:
Beatiful graphics from the dead or alive 3 engine but polished to an utmost perfection. Comes with a content downloader and you can expand game play via content downloader.

THE BAD:
Camera Randomly gets annoying in certaint boss fights. Some boss fights are very easy while others are down right hard!

SUMMARY:
You are Ryu Hayabusa; your village has just been destroyed and all your commrades and fellow family members have been slain by lord Doku of the greater feinds who wields the dark dragon blade which your village has been protecting and kept away from evils harm for many years.
