should i buy this

i have just finished pandora tomorrow and am looking for a different kind of chalenge. Is ninja gaiden the answer. Should i spend my hard earned money on this or is it all just hype. All the reviews seem to mention a camera problem during combat. is this a big problem or just people being picky. any comments good and bad would be welcome or any suggestions for my next purhase if not gaiden

Hi think this game is great! I finish the game about 10 times know and i can't stop playing the first time it hard but after that it easy!! I don't think the camera are a problem. And it sure more faster then Splinter Cell!! If you like fast combat games it a realy good game!

The camera isn't bad. If you press the R button it resets the camera so the camera problem is ok. As for a challenge you will get a major challenge out of this. Its one of the toughest games I've ever played.

re: should i buy this

The camera problem isn't so bad. You just have to get used to re-center the camera ofter using the R trigger. If you like quests with plenty of item gathering and if you like fast-paced action and bloody decapitations, this game is for you.

It's like going through an amazing-looking 3D Legend of Zelda with a very well-armed Dead of Alive character.
Rent it, you'll see. Personnaly, I'm addicted to it.

re: should i buy this

I've been wondering whether to get this as well.

Is it similair to the Onimusha series on PS2? Or wouldn't you know?

re: should i buy this

I own a lot of xbox games... if some1 says tat i hav to burn em all n keep just 1... i'll keep ninja gaiden... the camera is great... if the camera was always like fixed at ryu's behind(!)... then it would look more like a kiddy gamecube game.. because of the camera design, u can see the moves ryu makes from every angle possible(not just behind of ryu's a$s!!)

re: should i buy this

Yes, you should get this game. The game's very good. It's very challenging, and it's a pretty long game. It would take around 15-20 hours to beat. The Camera isn't a very big problem. Just press R and it'll be fixed. So, you need to get this game. It's the best Action/Adenture game on the XBox. It's a game that needs to be in your collection.

re: should i buy this

Yes the game rules and yes the camera sucks. It doesn't suck THAT bad during combat, but it's HORRIBLE for platforming. I'd give the game almost 10 / 10 but I'd give the camera a 2 / 10. If the camera was better, it'd be a definite 10. They should have had the right stick control it, and the camera should be farther from the action and better centered on the enemies, not just when they are right up on you. You don't use the right stick for anything! Why the hell not???

You use the right thumbstick for manual look around.

Oh yeah, I forgot since I never really used that. Manual look around? That's unnecessary. I found all the scarabs without really ever using manual look around. May as well consider the right stick unused...

re: should i buy this

dude i will trade my own eyes for this game if i have to. this is the best game i've ever played. I've played Halo but still this game kicks ass. the graphics are excellent, very challenging, great moves, and the scenarios are the bomb. you fight inside tunnels, villages, army bases, towns, Hell - literally, and even a Night Club. It got everything!!!!!

If you are implying Halo was the best game you had played until this game... you must not have played many games before. Is this your second game ever?
