Default Re: Ninja Gaiden on Xbox

I have had a chance to play a bit more, and it does have a lot of depth for a slasher game. There are quite a few obstacles that you have to find your way around and some areas require intricate moves and stunts in order to reach.

As for it being like Shinobi, yes it is comparable, yet this feels a whole lot cleaner, smoother, and more detailed. The game runs at a constant 60 fps, which is very satisfying and makes all the difference in making the game feel so clean and suave. There are a lot more moves than you might think, and the enemies get very challenging very quickly. A lot of your foes can block and counter just like you, and they get other bonuses like being able to grab you and slit your throat if you block too long or blow you up from a distance if you are too cautious. It definetely keeps you on your toes.

I'll tell more as I play more. My advice: At least rent. You must rent. If not, buy.

BTW, CGI cutscenes are absolutely breath-taking. Some of the best I have ever seen.
