This is the kind of game that makes you say "Oh s#!%" and "WTF just happen" alot.

I never played the ninja gaiden series but did play the DOA series and to expect this game being very good was high, this game has some of the most intense graphics ever on the next gen system and there is many weapons to chose from( i prefer the eclipse scythe or the dual dragon claw and tiger fang) and the many ways to cut off limbs in this game is abundant, the real problem that stops me from giving it a 10 is the difficulty and the save system. To begin with, i started off on acolyte difficulty because i never played the series before and the first few chapters were no problem till around chapter 8. thats when the game turned it up a notch, to say this is that the sub boss on this chapter was harder than the actual boss of the chapter,then you know, millions of deaths later i get to chapter 13, which by far is the hardest chapter ever in any game, and here is where the bad save system comes in, you aren't allowed to make more than 1 save and that sucks because when I beated volf the second time at the end of chapter 12 I started chapter 13 and saw i had no money and ( remember people who beat this game knowing you have to start the chapter going through many halls with many monsters in each) yeah that was hard as hell and to make matters worse during that time i had no healing items, but somehow i ended up beating that part and chapter 14 is hard ( not as hard as chapter 13 though) because you have 5 boss fights first with genshin,then elizabet. after awhile you battle dagra dai (who is hard) and when you beat him you go straight to the final boss fight without saving and I had no healing items for the final boss ( can't tell you who the boss is because spoilers) and when you finally beat him you fight its second form which is easier than the first form. Now overall this game is awesome,fun, and has alot of replayability, but the game is hard as F*
