    Mr. Hyubasa's first handheld appearance is as good as can be expected.

    I had fun with Ninja Gaiden: DS. The thing that most dissatisfied me about the game was probably the fact that you must hold the DS sideways, like an open book, to play the game. While I applaud originality, it got tires... Read Full Review

    My First Ninja Gaiden Game and my introduction to the series.

    By Triplep1103 | Review Date: Jun 21, 2008 | DS

    I really enjoyed this as my first Ninja Gaiden game. I actually averaged out to an 8.8 but since I can't go out of .0 or .5 I gave it a 9.0 rounded up. I took 5 main categories and gave an average rating. Story: 8 (Ki... Read Full Review

    Fun action game, but definitely overrated.

    By slimdave21 | Review Date: Jun 16, 2008 | DS

    Graphics: 8.5/ 10 Extremely well-done stationary environments with average DS looking sprites. Good looking cut-scenes and anime based characters. Some of the cleanest looking graphics I've seen on the DS. Music: 7... Read Full Review

    One of the best action titles for the DS

    By ravencr0w | Review Date: Jun 06, 2008 | DS

    Many people, including myself, expressed a lot of doubt about having Ninja Gaiden on a DS. But as it turns out, the game has far surpassed one's expectations. The first play-through will seem too easy for an action ga... Read Full Review

    By zikimaru88 | Review Date: Jun 03, 2008 | DS
