Tecmo Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: Graphics, Story Line, action, Hurricane Live packs are nice too.

Weakness: Camera Angels, Some bosses are HARD

Tecmo Ninja Gaiden has the best blend of graphics, action, and story telling out for the Xbox. The single player game blows away even Halo in my opinon. The levels in this game are tough to beat but feel rewarding when you finally accomplish your goal. The game personally took me about 15 hours to beat and the added bonus of the Hurricane packs allows you to go at it again with different enemies...

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: Graphics are some of the best XBOX has to offer, sound is good, downloadable content over live, and the game is long for an action game.

Weakness: Difficulty and Camera issues.

Ninja Gaiden is an action adventure game following the adventures of Ryu Hayabusa made by Team Ninja. Ryu Hayabusa is known from the NES Ninja Gaiden series and the Dead or Alive fighting game series. This game is simply gorgeous. It is probably the most polished game the XBOX has yet to see. Combat is fun, exploring is fun, boss battles are varied, enemies are varied, and the story is alright....

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: Amazing graphics, great storyline and action, lots of replay with different difficulty settings, and even more fun with Hurricane Pack 1, best ninja game yet

Weakness: Camera can get a little funny at times

Truly one of the must have games for the XBox. Shows off some amazing graphics that the XBox can do. The action is frantic and mind-blowing at times, and it does take some thinking on how to get past some of the enemies. Hardly a bad thing. It can be difficult, though that's part of the challenge. The storyline advances the game well and keeps interest in the areas between the action. This does...

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: Great Graphics, Gameplay is smooth, game progression and difficulty just the right level, Xbox Live Updates

Weakness: Honestly I cannot think of any except I don't like looking for scarabs which is just an extra thing. Perhaps the save spots could have been placed better in 1 or 2 places but that's just nagging =p

This is probably the best game of the genre I have ever played. Sure the game has great graphics but that's not the only reason why I consider it one of my favorite games of all time. Honestly with most platformers or action games like this I find myself constantly fustrated. However with ninja gaiden I was only fustrated probably like .5% of the time. Fighting enemies requires a progression of...

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: great graphic. the splendid arts of sword.

Weakness: sometimes camera wiew was changed to unexpected way.

I've played this game for one weeks. outstanding graphic. some people say that this game is hard, but I think if you adjust about blocking, it is no longer hard. Tip: If you are confused about the camera angle, just push the right trigger.

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: BEST GAME EVER

Weakness: Little camera problems, but beside that and the hard difficulty, It's nearly flawless.

Awesome combos, graphics, fighting, bosses, and great lasting appeal. You can replay through many times without getting board, ever new level is like an entire new experience. You can unlock costumes, and the 3 original NES/SNES games. You earn a new cool weapon once it's beaten too. The bosses are very creative, challenging and fun to fight, even to look at.

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: Fantastic action game. Greatest ninja-sim yet.

Weakness: Let the nitpickers have their say.

This is a game to own an Xbox for (at least this was why I picked up an Xbox). And unless this type of game has never been your style, Ninja Gaiden will not disappoint. You may have heard the camera angle is frustrating (no moreso than any game and nothing threatening) or that it is too hard (on the highest difficult, yes! but normal is very beatable). These comments are designed to trick you...

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: This games graphics are outragous (and i mean that in the best possible way). The numerous weapons and jumping off walls, decapatation of your enemies, it's the best of this year,until halo 2

Weakness: There arent many weaknesses, the camera can get a bit frustrating but besides that this came kills

Buy it its the best ninga game and guarenteed to be on the years best game list for sure. It will be a game of the year until halo FINALLY enters the sales ring. Its a perfect game to add to your xbox collection.

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: awesome graphics, combos and storyline.

Weakness: camera angles!

The difficulty of this game is very hard. Also, the glitches with the camera angles will get you killed pretty easily. A very good but extremely difficult game. A must-have title in your collection.

Ninja Gaiden

Strengths: It has very good gameplay and highly good graphics.

Weakness: The music is boring pop something in the CD player.

I never played the game but I am going to purchase it when it comes out in Nov.03 but I did read about it in EGM in E3 said they enjoyed the first level the weapons were sword. They are not through with the weapons are levels so we have to wait in see.

Ninja Gaiden (xbox)

The Ninja Gaiden series was one of the most beloved franchises of early '90s console gamers. The original installment hit in 1989, a stunning sequel followed in 1990, and the final installment appeared in 1991. For over ten years, no new Ninja Gaiden games were made, despite the fact that the vast majority of kids who'd started out with NES were growing into adult gamers with fond memories of the...

Ninja Gaiden (xbox)

Hype is tough to live up to and it seems whenever Team Ninja and Tomonobu Itagaki create a game for Xbox, the expectations go off the charts. With Ninja Gaiden, Itagaki pledged to create a game with incredible graphics, lightning-fast gameplay, an ocean of blood, and an experience to remember. Throughout the long development process, numerous things could have gone wrong to foil those lofty...
