Any true fan of the Dead or Alive series will know Ryu Hayabusa, the supreme Ninja of the fighters. Ninja Gaiden lets the player control Ryu in his quest to defeat the evil Emperor Vigor. As you might have guessed, this game is based much more on action and combat than on extensive plot details or intense character development. The majority of the game consists of defeating enemies using different attacks and combos, and although this may seem like a game that will get old very fast, its variety will make it stay in your Xbox for a while.

Graphically the game is spectacular, using new bump-mapping techniques and containing detailed characters. One of the worst things that can happen in a game with human characters is that they have "screwed-up" movements because their bodies bend in ways that is physically impossible. But Ninja Gaiden successfully shows the movement of Ryu, and he never seems to do anything that someone couldn't do in real life, except jumping off a wall, flipping, and slicing a guy on the way down of course. All the other details of the game like buildings and trees look great as well. If Dead or Alive 3 showed us anything, it's that Tecmo can make a GREAT looking game.
