Derivative, but still fun
This game borrows elements from God of War, Ninja Gaiden and Prince of Persia. Despite the extreme lack of originality, I still found it a lot of fun to play. The combat is satisfying and the often criticised QTEs added to the game for me, especially as if you make a mistake the game rewinds a couple of steps and you can try again. It avoids the frustration while keeping some level of interaction, and I'd rather have that than a basic cut scene (in a game of this type at least).

I don't think there's a huge level of replay value, but if you enjoyed games such as GOW and Ninja Gaiden, perhaps give it a try. It's not as good as either of those games, but if you're a fan of the genre it's worth a look. I was stuck between giving it 3 or 4 stars. I think it falls somewhere between the two, but closer to 4 than 3.

Demo review
From playing the demo I found this game very fun and the boss fight's are awesome with button sequence cinematic's a lot like the ones in resident evil 4. Overall I'm unsure how long the fun would last

mmmmm
the graphics and the control are excellent, but the variety of the levels is limited, its a little bit short game but interesting how i wish a ninja game moves you from the city to jungles
