And that's the easiest part :|.
I normally don't die in any game or if the game is hard I die 4 times in all the game at most. In NG I've died more than 6 and the worst part is that it it frustrating (those archers).
So it's not impossible but it is the most difficult game I've ever played.

I didn't find it hard, I found it to be challenging at points, but as far as hardness goes it's nothing compared to some of the old NES games I have.

Ninja Gaiden is not hard simply put. It's just a challenge which is lacking in most games now. Games are being made way too easy. It's nice to see one where you actually die quite abit.

True; I didn't have that much trouble on normal first time through, except some bosses ticked me off a lot, namely Spirit Doku. Also, the archers weren't that bad, just shoot them down with your arrows.

It might be a little difficult, but it's not unfair. If you die, it's usally your fault. The game is balanced and easy to beat as long as you don't mess up.

Well Ninja was one of the hardest games in recent history for me but that being said I did beat it. It is the perfect difficulty game for me because it was challenging but not to the point of being frustrating. If the game is too difficult for you then you're not fighting smart or well. The old school ninja is the hard one... man that thing is unreal how hard it is.:evil:

Sure, you might get your ass kicked when you first start playing it but once you adapt to the game it really is not as hard as everyone is saying.

When I bought the game I was expecting to spend at least a month trying to beat it, since everyone was crying about the difficulty of the game. So I decided to play on Normal and beat it in like 2 weeks. I found the bosses not as hard as they look to be, and the last boss was way to easy for being the last boss. I should have just started the game on Hard :) (not to brag)

Ninja Gaiden wasn't hard at all. The frist three stages were probably the hardest, since I hadn't gotten used to the gameplay. But after that it was a normal game (on normal difficulty). Though my second time through I got Master Ninja rating on Hard :]

btw. I'm having a really hard time getting started in Hurricane Pack #2

Hearing Ryu's death scream for the umpteenth time really gets on your nerves. So yes, it was insanely hard the FIRST time around. I've played through about 3 times now. 2 on normal, 1 on hard.

Why? As you can see on my profile I've got some above average in difficulty. But I haven't played old school hard games (here is the real challenge).

The second boss is one the of the easiest bosses in any game that I have played. Kill off all of the mage guys first, while dodging their attacks and the bosses attacks. If you have full health/ninpo and one the the mage guys drop blue/red essence, and the boss is near, then use an ultimate attack on him. Once you kill all of the mage guys, then just wail on him with arrows. If he's not dead after that, it doesn't really matter. Hold down Y until he gets close, then once he gets close if you time it right you can hurt him with an ultimate attack (no essence, though) without getting hurt. You can beat the boss without taking any damage.

Most hard NES games are just unfair hard, NG is just challenging, its more of a trail and error thing. (In very hard NES games you have to be lucky sometimes).

Well, I didnt think it was hard as in "OMG I'm never gonna finish this game" But it was (and still is) a challenge. and It gives you a sence of pride when you get to the end. Most games these days, you get to the end and go.. ok.. thats it... eh hmm... ok...

I'm on my first try throughthe very hard mode now, andIi'm already dreading the bosses that still ahve to come, altough I also started on DMC 3 not long ago and thats nice and challenging too 8)

I did get suprised at all the "OMG Ninja gaiden is too hard" comments.. To me a game is too hard when you see no way of getting through a stage no matter what you do, and in NG you always have the scense that concentrating, perfecting moves, and becoming better at the game will get you through in the end.

Thats true, Even though NG was chalenging, Ghosts and Goblins on NES still stands as the hardest game I've ever completed, looking back I have no idea how the heck I did it..:shock:

I think everyone has a different boss they think is hardest, for some reason I had the hareds time with the first boss, Alma the one most people say was so hard wasnt so hard for me, I was very dissapionted with the last boss though, that was way to easy. I hope the fix that in NGB..

I did't think it was that hard, but I usually play my games on higher difficulties.

The game does get tough onb hard and very hard but normal was just right.

I agree. On normal difficulty, I would describe the game as challenging. It's going to test you, but there aren't any obstacles that you can't overcome if you persevere. The higher difficulties and the Hurricane packs are another story though, and I think that this is what they were probably alluding to in the Gamespot article.
