PoP was good, but Ninja Gaiden is a better game even from the demo. graphics, controls, maybe not the camera, but we'll see about the story.

I wasn't expecting much from NG when compared to DMC (my favorite game ever), but when I look into it (screens, review, etc.) this is like DMC (Devil May Cry) for Xbox, I'll be buying this now, which at first I had no intentions of. But im getting this after I get DDR: Ultramix. Which might be a while :(

Honestly, this score doesn't surprise me at all. I mean, I'm not usually into this type of game...but, I decided to play the demo and I have been hooked ever since! Ninja Gaiden is, bar none, the best Ninja game ever to see a console, IMO.

I still feel horrible for the makers of Tenchu...I mean, sharing the same demo disc with Ninja Gaiden is practically comical! Tenchu hugs ass if you compare it to Ninja Gaiden...

With the demo, I've almost got every combo memorized with each primary weapon. Honestly, once you get these combos down, the game gets better and better and better!

Yeah, dude...no joke...Honestly, though..I was far more impressed by playing the demo than the reviews...I couldn't believe it was that much fun :cool:

I got my demo a couple of days ago and it is AWESOME!!!!!!! By far the best looking, best sound, best over all action games!!!! I agree about Tenchu Maximus. I played Ninja Gaiden then I started the Tenchu Demo. . . . . Yea.

Until Halo 2 if not that it will be Fable, if not that it will be BC and if not that it will be Doom 3. I can't wait til these comeout!

Ninja Gaiden was great, when I first played the demo it was pretty lame until I started the fighting, but when I got my moves down the game just magically turned.... Awesome. Even though I still wish the demo could save your possistion, I can't get get passed the old man with the big'ol muscles.

well that was rather rude of Casper to close that last Ninja Gaiden thread, I must say. Nothing like a fresh Ninja Gaiden thread to keep things interesting around here. That's why there's not much activity on this forum-not enough Ninja Gaiden threads! It's much livelier over at team xbox, and they have a bunch of NG threads. Anyway, as I was saying, Ninja Gaiden is the best game in years. It is one of the best games ever. The only other game that keeps me from saying it's the best game ever is Rogue Leader on gamecube. (And also maybe Joust, another of my all-time favorites.) But Ninja Gaiden is the best xbox game and is definitely in the competition for best game ever. It's that good. And I'm just basing this on the demo.

Ninja Gaiden is very awesome, but I'm guessing you're not a big Halo fan?

I own this game and I fail to see the greatness in it. It's solid but best game ever?? I dont even know what to do half the time..

But that's good news about NG. I remember i bought NG2 when i was little and i got in trouble for sneaking out in the living room at night trying to play it.

No, I'm not a very big Halo fan. I think it's overrated. I thought it was a good, solid game, but after I beat it, I didn't want to play it again. That is because it is a scripted FPS; the enemies are always in the same place. That's just the type of game it is. I just don't think it has much replay value. I don't know if I'll want to replay Ninja Gaiden a lot after I beat it or not, since you could say the same thing about the enemies in Ninja Gaiden. (Although the enemies in the Master Ninja Tournament are supposed to be randomly generated, which I think is great.) But the 60 fps framerate, the speed of the gameplay and the precision of the controls combine to take NG to a level above other xbox games. It is much faster than Halo, is twice as smooth and is a keener test of reflexes. I expect that I will be playing NG more than once through.

No, I completely agree that Halo is scripted and has little replay, but I love it for multiplayer, every game isn't for everyone.

Back to our topic heading tho: I just beat the demo as a Master Ninja!

The game tells you what to do, it lists your objectives when you press pause,and the targeting computer highlights your primary and secondary targets in purple and yellow. This game still looks like it came out of a time machine from the future. Even if you don't give it any points for being based on Star Wars, it's still one of the best games ever all on it's own. Best graphics ever, about as good as the movies. 60fps. I just think flight combat is one of the coolest things you can make a game on. The Battle of Endor is the greatest videogame battle ever. Too bad the sequel totally sucked.

When I read the Gaming Age article/Review on Ninja Gaiden that gave it a "C-",
http://www.gaming-age.com/cgi-bin/reviews/review.pl?sys=xbox&game=ninjagaiden

I was so annoyed I shot this email to them.

"Get rid of this "writer". In short, his review was such a blatant attempt to unfairly lend a poor score to a game that is obviously a superior title.

"sometimes fanboy goggles seem to cause some gamers to lose their sense of reasoning."
Yeah, No kidding. PATHETIC."

All I have to say is Tecmo: Mission Accomplished.

Listen, if you have a problem with the camera in tight areas, the camera in not being able to see a platform or needing to go to first person view just to move around, you obviously shouldn't be playing this game. I've played through nearly half the game alrady with none of the so-called problems discribed in this review. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. This game requires you to be on your toes at all times.
