The Xbox reboot of "Ninja Gaiden" is an action/adventure masterpiece. It's comparable to "Devil May Cry", but also surpasses it in many ways. Developer Team Ninja had previously made the "Dead or Alive" fighting games. They brought the same combat complexity and challenge to this title. Every enemy is a force to be reckoned with. There are also plenty of puzzles and platforming similar to "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time". This is one of the best action games from 2004. I would rate it with a 9.4 out of 10.

This Xbox action masterpiece is like a ninja version of "Devil May Cry". It's arguably better than DMC due to superb level design and engrossing combat. A prequel to the NES games, "Ninja Gaiden" has the epic scope of a Zelda title. It has expansive levels filled with intense fights, puzzles and platforming. The game also gives you the feeling of being Bruce Lee. Combat is fast, tough and strategic. You'll need to polish your fight skills if you want to beat this very challenging game. Hardcore action fans will savor every minute of it. I would rate it with a 9.4 out of 10.

Glorious return of a mythical game. Great design, varied levels and a unique atmosphere. Superb graphics and a high difficulty that makes it not suitable for beginners.

"Ninja Gaiden" for the original Xbox is a great action game in the tradition of "Devil May Cry". Developed by Team Ninja and released in 2004, it's a punishingly difficult action-adventure. According to director Tomonobu Itagaki, this reboot is set in the "Dead or Alive" universe and serves as a prequel to the NES titles. Being a fan of "God of War" and "Onimusha", I ended up buying an Xbox console just to play this and I didn't regret it. This is a masterpiece that ranks up with the best action titles ever made. It certainly is the best one made for the original Xbox. Unfortunately, the sequels did not live up to its level of excellence. In addition, the rebooted franchise never became as popular as its competition. Regardless, this first installment of the "new" Ninja Gaiden is a must-play. It surpasses the first "God of War" and "Devil May Cry" games in terms of map design, weapon selection and combat. I would rate it with a 9.4 out of 10.

+ playability + extreme difficulty + creative final bosses + art and design - Storyline - Sometimes ridiculously hard

Otherwise solid game is actually **** because of the ****ty camera, You will find yourself constantly fighting cameras lunatic behaviour and attempt to make it look the way your enemies are, instead of concentrating on enemies. Totally ruins the experience.

Ninja Gaiden as an action adventure game with the primary focus on fast-paced, and rather violent, combat. To be honest I can't really recall anything about the game's plot but its largely irrelevant anyway as it takes a distant second place to the superb gameplay. These days it of course looks a little dated compared to modern titles but, even more than a decade after its release, it offers some of the most satisfying combat in the genre. The legendary level of difficulty might well put some people off but once you get the hang of things you'll find a genuinely great game.

esta increíble este juego, para pasar el rato, las bases las tiene pero creo que esta mal ejecutado la cámara, y los controles, la historia es muy básica y el argumento de la historia no es interesante.

A kick ass way of bring back a classic. Well done. Totally worth checking out. Sadly it's sequels after this were not so special... Oh well... This one was still pretty sweet.
