BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 I'm not much of a reviewer...but the Gameplay was quite nice, took a few minutes to get used to but once I got it down I was busting out 30+ hit combos, heh...I was slicing and dicing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Psycho Diablo 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Gaiden is awesome, at least the demo is. (Combo record here: 150.) The three weapons available play differently, and require you to think about how to use them. The acrobabics are great, and there's a whole load of stuff to do.. Â My favorite is shooting crows off three tree with the bow. Little bastards tend to move when you target them, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Me watched a friend play, and it sucked. But hey, at least the ninja hero and shoot a blast of lightning out of his arse. Â That has to count for something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted February 25, 2004 I've played the demo and found it to be a lot of fun, but the camera was wonky and at times I couldn't see where my enemies. A small annoyance, but for some people could make or break their purchase. Just a little FYI to those of you thinking about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anya 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 I am interested in the game, but fear it may be too hard. Itagaki was hyping up how hard it is... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Please come out for the PS2 or Gamecube. Please. Sorry Sakura but I just hope this game is as hard as it gets because it's just not Ninja Gaiden if it isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 It won't come out on other systems. Â Team Ninja has said several times they don't want to work on those consoles anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anya 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2004 Sorry Sakura but I just hope this game is as hard as it gets because it's just not Ninja Gaiden if it isn't. Why not a difficulty setting? Â I don't understand why every game doesn't have them. Let people that like easy games have an easy time and let people that like challenge have a hard time. I can't think of a logical reason NOT to include them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlackFlagg 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2004 and gamespy makes a funny comment about what would happen if a PS2 tried to run this game. Would that be this... Ninja Gaiden is something the PS2 never even dreamt of. It would be coughing up blood trying to run a game with graphics this good, that moves this fast, at a constant 60 frames per second Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2004 Good Lord this game is hard as hell. The graphics are sweet, the gameplay is smooth, and Ryu is a badass, but DAMN is it hard. The Chapter 3 boss is kicking my ass. I'm going back through it to see if I can save up some more elixirs for the fight, but its very challenging so far.

Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted March 5, 2004 This game is alot of fun. Ryu can kick alot of ass but he can get his ass kicked too. What weapons are there after the nunchukus and where can I find them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2004 Well I'm on Chapter 9 (I think, it's hard to remember) and now I'm starting to run into some serious hardware. The ninjas were bad enough (but if you can get them in the Iz-something drop they're easy) but then the fiends showed up. Then the armored shock troops with the automatic rifles. Now it's freakin' armored vehicles! Â Is it me, or is there little need to use any melee weapon besides the Dragon Sword? Although I've heard that it you upgrade the wooden sword the whole way it turns out to be pretty badass. The nunchukus looks pretty sweet but the reach isn't that great, and the sledge hammer is too damn slow. I'm looking forward to seeing what else there is to find. Â Rachel is a damn fine piece of cyber eyecandy though. How can she fight fiends without falling over though is my question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
