Guest Grayfox Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 anyone who owns an xbox pick this one up? its absoloutely beautiful... kinda hard where to start. graphics wise 10/10, sound wise... its ok. the boss music does rock though 7.5/10. gameplay wise... if you can get past some of the more annoying bosses and beat the game the first time, youll find it a breeze the second time through. the camera is a bit clunky at rare moments, and there are times when you fight the "evil camera boss" more than enemies, but the combo set and other moves are jaw dropping... especially when ryu uses nunchukas (sp). he could teach maxi from SC2 a thing or two. with the chuks its possible to unleash a 100 hit combo on a fool, or turn yourself into a human blender with the Vigoorian Flail (kinda like 2 manriki gusari) the thing that keeps me wanting to beat it over and over is the fact that they put all 3 original NES ninja gaiden titles on the disc. you have to unlock them tho by collecting 50 golden scarabs spread out thru the game. if you find the 50 and turn them into the shopkeeper (theres only one) hell give you a game depending on what difficulty level youre on. Normal = Ninja Gaiden, Hard = Ninja Gaiden 2, and Very Hard = Ninja Gaiden 3 the dark ship of chaos. i havent tried the hard difficulty yet, ive been busy going thru the normal difficulty again on "progressive play" i find that the second time thru, i can enter the "zen state" alot easier im also kinda reluctant to try hard... i remember reading an ad for NG that said "Normal will kill you, Hard will kill your friends..." if anyone one else who owns an xbox and has this, post what you think. for me, overall 9.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindoktor Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 I'm playing through for the first time now. I'm on Chapter 14 and taking my time simply because I don't want it to end. This is old school gameplay, with 2004 visuals. The game is hard, but once you get past level 5 or so, everything seems to click and you start pulling off combos easily. Each level I get a few Game Overs figuring out the bosses or in some case the ordinary enemy. Even the ordinary enemies will kick your ass if you are sloppy blocking or not rolling out of a bad position. Great game, easily a AAA title.

Guest Grayfox Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 when you beat it, go thru it again on "successive play" on the same difficulty and see how much of a breeze it is. im on 16 again and i can count on one hand how many times i had to use a health potion... i attribute this to getting a feel for the game/enemies on the first run.
