Ninja Gaiden

[ThePeaGuy]

Does anybody here, who owns an XBox, own and love this game?<p>If you combine the fighting gameplay of Devil May Cry with the platform, acrobats and the running on walls move of the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, you get this classic game for the XBox -- Ninja Gaiden.<p>Ninja Gaiden has to be one of the best games of 2004. It has plenty of action, bosses, puzzles, moves to learn, secrets to uncover... what more do you want from this masterpiece?<p>To those who have an XBox and in dire need of some good games for the machine, then look no further -- this game's for you. <p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1088022745[/TIME]][/size]<br><p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1088023069[/TIME]][/size]

I own it and play it a little. But I am occupied with marrowind and riddick.

If your stuck at a boss, maybe I can help you.

[HuBBsDoctor]

I dunno. If it was so great I would've beaten it by now and still be playing it for awhile. But I haven't. But it is a good game though.

Wasn't there an Ninja Gaiden on an old system long time ago? The name sounds very familiar...

I also like to add that it is also one of the secrets to unlock when playing the latest installment on the XBox. <p><p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1088034399[/TIME]][/size]

Ninja Gaiden kicks ass, from what I've seen. The originals were freaking awesome, too.<br><p>[size=small][Edit by Mizehrith on [TIME]1088046370[/TIME]][/size]

The final boss was a bit of a disappointment in difficulty terms, wouldn't you say so, Mizehrith? <p>I also like most of the music tracks that were on Ninja Gaiden. They were awesome indeed! Which ones are your favourites? Mine are "Alma Awakened" and "Lord of the Greater Fiends."<p>

[Mizehrith]

I've actually only played through to the first boss, on the one for the XBox, so I can't honestly say for sure. Perhaps I should've mentioned something to suggest that in my previous message. My mistake, sorry. Post edited.

[ThePeaGuy]

Ah, no worries, Mizehrith. <p>I've unlocked the Classic Ninja Gaiden games on the XBox version two days ago and, just like Mizehrith said, the originals are freaking awesome!<p>I'm playing and currently stuck on level 6-2 of the original Ninja Gaiden, 'cause those rocket guys that throw stars at you are fricken hard to avoid! >_<;<p>Also, I like to know from the fans of the original Ninja Gaiden series why, exactly, is the third installment regarded as the "black sheep" of the series? I don't see anything wrong with it. <br><p>[size=small][Edit by ThePeaGuy on [TIME]1088280814[/TIME]][/size]

I've played the original Ninja Gaiden, but not the X-Box version. It seemed very enjoyable, and if I had an X-Box, I'd probably buy it. However, I've heard that later on it becomes a very frusturating games...reports of controller throwing are high.<br>The orginal Ninja Gaiden had the coolest bosses!
