Manufacturer's Description
One of Tecmo's most treasured franchises is given new life in the action-packed Ninja Gaiden. The player takes on the role of the powerful and mysterious ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, who seeks revenge after his clan is massacred by the Vigor Empire. Boasting 100 per cent action, Ninja Gaiden will allow the player to unleash their inner ninja with smooth gameplay, speedy battle sequences and a variety of advanced acrobatic ninja moves from running and flipping off walls to hanging and swinging on rails. The player will also have a variety of primary and secondary weapons at their disposal that, when used in a combination, create advanced weapon attacks such as damaging wall-based assaults and all-powerful ultimate attacks. Xbox Live compatibility, a host of challenging levels and visually exquisite environments are just a few more reasons why Ninja Gaiden raises the bar in the action-gaming genre.

Customer Reviews

Everyone loves a Ninja
This game is truly spectacular; the graphics are superb and the gameplay even better. As Ryu Hayabusa you have an huge array of moves to perform and a good number of weapons to choose from which allow you to massacre any poor fool who opposes you. The movement of Ryu is easy to pick up, but hard to master, and the storyline moves along nicely without being anything too ground breaking.

Be warned though, this game is HARD. You have to learn how to use the best moves and save your game a lot and it can get very frustrating, but it is well worth sticking at, and gets easy the more you immerse yourself in the way of the NInja.

oh sweet sweet ninja gaiden
oh man this game is just awesome
sweet graphics and gameplay make this one of the best games i have ever played. The story is also awesome - featuring a you ninja ryu hayabusa fighting his way through the story.

There is also an amazing complexity to the story and actions you can carry out which really make this game stand out

there are many many hours of gameplay here (20+ hours) but it is HARD and not for the faint of heart but it is totally worth it.

get this game. do it. now
thankyou

Brilliant game
I agree completely with the sentiments expressed above.

The graphics in this game are excellent, as is the sound and generally everything else. The fighting is absolutely brillant - by far the best fighting system in any game I've ever played. The main character has a vast array of weapons and moves at his disposal. In order to get anywhere in this game, you simply must learn to control him properly. The enemies are truly challenging; this game will call into question every one of your skills as a player.

Whilst the story isn't anything special or groundbreaking, the game is surprisingly and remarkably emotional. Very rarely in a game do you develop a sense of oneness with your character.

This game is genuinely difficult. One for the more dedicated gamer, perhaps? It is the best game I have ever played on the XBox and the best game of its generation. By the time you've finished this game, you will feel as though you've been pushed to your very limits. Which may or may not be a good thing.

Buy this game; you won't regret it.
