Ninja Gaiden on Xbox

I played the demo at EB the other day. It was a very very fun game, with beautiful graphics, and it reminded me VERY strongly of Shinobi.

Played the OXM demo and it was very fun...for a while. It was just the same thing; combo, jump, jump, decapitate, combo, magic, combo, combo, combo, combo, COMBO, COMBO, COMBO!

But it was just the demo so the finished game should be more fun. I'll try it out at my friends house before I decide if ima get it. Wasnt really looking forward to it really

And the NES ninja gaiden's were just jump jump jump slash slash jump slash slash slash jump get knocked off a cliff by an enemy that shouldn't have appeared but did, throw your controller against the wall...

Your point?

Well a lot of the time when a sequel is made, there are a ton of people complaining that it's too different from the original, but sometimes they try to stick to the game's roots, and people end up complaining that it's too simplistic and repetitive when that's exactly what the original was like and that's what made it so fun and addictive...

I think for Ninja Gaiden, they were trying to keep it close to the original formula of a fast, challenging, fairly simple action game...

And apparently that's what it is...

And I wish I had an Xbox

Oh it's a great game for sure...but too much of the same thing for my tastes. Never played the original but it sounds like they are similar. Once again it's just not enough for me to buy it...as of this time.

What you said is true DH. People are too picky anymore on games. "Its not like the other one". "Its too different from the other one". I want to hit the people who say things like that on some games, then others the opposite.....theoretically

Holy ****ing ****. I just want to say that I had the chance to buy this game or PSO3. I thought to myself.. I've been looking forward to this. So, I bought it, right then and there.

Drove it home.. popped it in.. ****, ok, in the first ****ing ten minutes my controller was across the room and I WAS CRYING LIKE A BABY.

THIS GAME KICKS YOUR ASS.

I love it!

I can't describe it.. it ****ing wails on you, but you FEEL the need to continue. It's so damn awesome. The graphics are great.. man.. the FMV is just so sweet.

BUY THIS GAME BUY THIS GAME BUY THIS GAME ;-; The mere FACT that it hates your ****ing guts and wants to be hard on you makes it a worthy purchase. I tried to beat the first boss 10 times.. on normal mode. The game ACTUALLY HATES YOU. I've never seen anything like this.
