Ninja Gaiden can be summed up in one word: Polish!
User Rating: 9.2 | Ninja Gaiden XBOX
Ninja Gaiden is the most polished game I have ever played. When you play this game two things really stick out to you: the graphics and the gameplay. The graphics don't stick out so much because of their quality but their speed. Don't get me wrong the graphics are among the best on the xbox, but what really impresses is just how fast it is. The game runs at almost a constant 60fps. There's never any skipping or noticeable slowdowns. The other thing is the gameplay. The controls are perfect! And I mean that litteraly. You never get tired of making Ryu pull off all of his amazing moves. A lot of people complain that the camera can't be manually controlled, but after playing the huricane pack, I can see why they made this decision. The combat and pace of the game simply don't allow for any messing around with the camera while there is any action taking place. A must have for any xbox owner, and plenty of a reason to get an xbox if you don't already own one.
