Ninja Gaiden (Xbox)

Ninja Gaiden 1 is THE one and only hack 'n slash game. It is the best one I have ever played! You take the role of ninja Ryu Hayabusa, who seeks revenge after his clan is massacred by the Vigor Empire. Taking full advantage of three-dimensional space, advance through the story with only your wits, your ninja skills, and your deadly sword-cutting down opponents in the Vigoor Empire as you attempt to beat the Holy Emperor and reclaim the magic sword "Ryuken." This is what it all stands for: EXTREME ACTION!!! When I bought this game, I was astonished by the graphics. It looked awesome ... more

This is a review of one of the best games that I have played in years; its name is Ninja Gaiden. It is on the XBOX, and only on the XBOX as no other console could stand up to the awesome graphics this game possesses.

I'll break the review into several seperate categories to describe just how well they did with this game. Graphics: Gamers nowadays expect a nice looking game, but this truly sets the standards for all xbox games. Nothing looks as good as it and yet manages to keep such a steady frame ... more

One of the most talked about games at the present for me, on first introduction the FMVs prove to be of impressive quality, with the usual mad japanese story line. Bad guy steals sword, will release a devastation on the world if no one stops him. Enter Hero. All his family and friends dead, must seek revenge and kill everything in his path. People turn into monsters, because of some way out there Japanese idea, imagine Manga on drugs. Oh and the usual array of busty ninja girls that you will recognise from Dead or Alive beat em ups. On first go you just marvel at the texturing and quality of ... more
