This game has blown me away from start to finish. I was a huge fan of how hard it was, but it is a reason why its not for everybody. Ninja Gaiden is renowned for its brutally difficult games and honestly, I have never completed the first game on the NES (but neither had the Angry Video Game Nerd). This game has brought some great thing back to the Ninja Gaiden franchise. Anyways lets get into the game play. The game looks amazing, but the controls are even better than the visuals. They just feel so tight that even though the game is challenging you feel as though Ryu Hyabusha can totally handle it. The story is, well, meh. Ninja Gaiden is not famous for it's amazing story.Overall, you are getting a great package when you buy this game and I highly recomend it+Great Gameplay+Awesome Visuals+Re playability (crazy difficulty)-Not a great Story9.3 Simply Awesome. Go buy this game.
