Ninja Blade Review
A poor man's Ninja Gaiden.
| 6.5 | Presentation The story is occasionally disjointed and the sense of style is generally bad. You have to love the direction on the boss-killing sequences, though. |
| 6.5 | Graphics Negative points for the bad visual style. The effects aren't the best, but everything moves pretty smoothly. |
| 7.0 | Sound The voice acting isn't the best and the choice to use two languages is odd. The music is fitting and helps make the cutscenes feel more epic. |
| 6.5 | Gameplay If it weren't for the finishing moves, there wouldn't be a whole lot to get excited about. This game needs some better AI. |
| 5.0 | Lasting Appeal You can replay the levels to boost your score or finish upgrading the weapons, but this game isn't one you'll be going back to much after it's done. |
| 6.5 |
OVERALL (out of 10 / not an average) |
The title is funny, but in all honesty, the price for this game is the same as any other new release. Thus, its not a poor man's Ninja Gaiden. Regardless of the review will any of you pick this up? And for those that played/playing it, how differ in quality/gameplay is it compared to Ninja Gaiden? And is it worthy of more then a 6.5 overall?
I felt this was going to be one of MS above average exclusives. I dont trust site reviews because Gamespot gave Halo Wars a 6.0? And im sure everybody thats played Halo Wars disagreed with them from what i read here.
