i got it! it's absolutely amazing. best combat engine
i've ever used, kill bill-esque gore quantities, and
incredible graphics running at 60 frames per second! HOLY
FUCKING SHIT!

sorry, those who don't own an xbox don't get to play this
awesome game. D: but you can be marginally satisfied with
an artist's rendition of what the ps2 version WOULD look
like if it existed:

I played the NES original to death, not played the new one
yet.

I got it today...

It's been hyped up like nobody's business, and it more or
less lives up to it, big props for that. Gorgeous,
brilliantly designed game, and the fighting is much more
than just button mashing. You can really make this guy do
anything, and it feels like a dream... except for the
lackluster camera. It isn't horrible, but it's never at the
distance I want it to be, and pressing R to center it just
isn't enough control for me. It's a real sorespot on an
otherwise breathtaking game.

It's hard as fuck, too. So it lives up to the other 3 NES
Gaidens... 15 years later, and I've still never beaten Ninja
Gaiden 3.

Mine should arrive on Monday. Looking forward to it, just
hope there isn't a lot of animal bullshit, like having to
kill bats and cougars and retarded shit like that.

bum rush to beat.

it's ninjas, then samurai, then imperial soldiers, then
black ninjas (fuck!), then fiends (FUCK!!!), and that's what
i'm fighting now. i'm on level 6, and this game is hard as
shit.

the most beautiful graphics i've ever seen though, and a
combat engine that is so good it's actually difficult to
play because of the firehose-like spray of semen all over
the controller.

i FINALLY was able to play ninja gaiden this weekend. my
friend has an Xbox, and he rented it.

Ninja Gaiden rocks SO hard!
my only problem whatsoever was the camera - sure wish they
would have given you more control over it, i've found it to
give me problems regularly. other than that, i love
everything about this game.

to be honest, the game is not that difficult once you
realize what you're doing. I've found the best strategy for
fighting enemies is to let them strike first, then counter,
then beat the shit out of them. Unless they're gun or
magic-using enemies, then you rush them like crazy. I played
this all day today from the beginning on Normal, and i'm at
Chapter 6.

and the control - egads, they're perfect! Counter attacks
and aerial combos are easy (yet must be used wisely), the
charge attack engine is genius, platforming is smooth enough
to not be a chore (running up/along walls is a cinch),
shooting the bow in first-person is DAMNED useful,
especially when taking out bitch enemies you can't reach who
will shoot you when trying to cross a gap.

anyways, i love it. one of the best games i've played in a
good while. nice to see that xbox finally has some more
software that is worthwhile. hopefully fable will continue
this new trend. if not, halo 2 will for sure. by the way,
release date is set for this fall. :)

i beat this game. it took me about a month. when you get
to level 8 or so the game gets so much unbelievably harder.
it's got some wicked ass cutscenes as well.

all i have to say is fear the pirhana ghost fish. they
fucking suck.
