Oh come wale.

You know that was a jab. We know you have something against nintendo. Look your not a troll but you make comments that are meant to bait.

not sure what you are trying to say there. But your previous post is just asking for flamebaits. If this thread is meant to be an actual discussing of the game, (as oppose to a "everybody in Media hates Nintendo"), then please keep such posts to mininal.

Because so far, I'm the only person who actually made any meaningful contribution to the dicussion of the game,

 

P.S. I forgot Lord.

GN Ratings for Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword (DS)
Rating Description See Our Glorious Home Theater Setup!
out of 10 click here for ratings guideGet Ratings Information
9.0 Presentation
This is an A team product from start to finish. Team Ninja made damn sure its first game was something truly special.
9.0 Graphics
The developers "cheat" with 2D backgrounds to make the 3D look as good as it can on the "weak" DS. But the cheat works: Ninja Gaiden DS is a stunner.
8.5 Sound
The soundtrack consists of a wide variety of music styles, and they're all really great. Not too much on the speech, though. Dialogue is all text, but not subtitling spoken Japanese like the consoles.
8.5 Gameplay
The touch screen control works surprisingly well...at least in the action. For platform elements, not so much, which is why this game's almost all action. Intense action.
7.0 Lasting Appeal
First time through won't take you longer than six or seven in-game hours. After that, it's up to you if you want to get smacked around in the unlocked "insanely hard" mode.
8.6
Great OVERALL



Closing Comments
Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword kicks a whole lot of butt on the Nintendo DS. Visually, the game's a stunner, and the action is intense and almost non-stop. I don't think the game makes the ultimate case for touch-screen exclusive control in action games, and I certainly don't think stylus control is better than traditional control for the Ninja Gaiden design. But what Team Ninja created for the Nintendo DS definitely works in turning something traditional into something different and unique without forgetting about the fun, too.

Nice!!!

Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.

kingofwale do you even own a DS?

 Yes I do, is this going somewhere? I thought we are sticking to the game.

nope, the review is right there so there isnt much to discuss



Stop the argument. Discuss the review. This is your only warning (directed at everyone going off-topic).



Man, I can't even discuss the review after reading what KoW wrote. That's just a whole bunch of BS that needs retorting too, but since I can't, and I can't delete this post, I have nothing to interject.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

sorry for going of topic, anyways I'll get this game 8.6 is a good score, now i just hope they make a wii version



>Stop the argument. Discuss the review. This is your only warning (directed at everyone going off-topic).

Alright, I shall go first.

The video of the final boss fight looks fantastic, Where you are centred in the middle of the screen and the environment changes as you move, (kinda like DIablo).

Hence it rises the question (also done by IGN) of why the game aren't done completely 3D to begin with. You see the character going off-screen constantly in the video and it's a pain even to look at.

My speculation? the limit of the storage in the cartridge. IGN is right, just imagine what it would look like if it's done all in 3D.

 

EDIT: I don't want anyone banned. so if you want to reply and you don't want to get banned, PLEASE stick with the topic, as oppose to silly name calling. I'm looking forward to difference views, as I've always have.

I love the fact Mod is monitor threads closely, posts should stick to the topics, I applaude that.
