Best Xbox game

User Rating: 9.1 | Ninja Gaiden XBOX
By chex81 | Review Date:
Over the years, we were embraced with great action games such as Tomb Raider, Devil May Cry and Prince of Persia. They all possed some sort of challenge, with wicked puzzles, amazing stories and of course over the top action. Ninja Gaiden being announced as a thrid person action game worried some, as the original series had a great reputation that shouldn't be disgraced by a newer/typical sort of game.

In any case, the game is simply incredible. The pacing is perfect, the action is outstanding, the visuals are the best we had seen at the time (on a console) and the overall presentation is through the roof. From beginning to end, the game pits you against rival ninja's, armies of soldiers, weird creatures and wicked boss battles. The game is somewhat difficult, but with enough patience and practice you can overcome any "impossible" situation. The puzzles are amazingly designed, think Zelda type. You can upgrade your character overtime with magic skills and weapon improvements. Overall, I recommend this to anyone with an Xbox or Xbox 360..and in the fall I recommend PS3 owners to pick up Sigma. Pros:
-Incredible visuals
-Great pacing, level design works perfectly -Upgrading is nice to draw replay
-Great boss battles, smart enemies

Cons:
-may be too difficult for some
-camera once in a while seems finicky
