Outstanding!
Tecmo revitalizes a once beloved series with aplomb. It may not be the Ninja Gaiden you knew and loved, but it's a new high watermark for the genre all the same. Read Review
Ninja Gaiden explores the back story of Tecmo ninja, Ryu Hayabusa, who is out to seek revenge after his clan is massacred by the Vigor Empire. Played from a third-person perspective, players utilize various weapons and ninja skills to take down their enemies and enhance the main character's prowess as they progress. Ninja Gaiden also introduces an interesting form of context-sensitive gameplay letting players run along walls simply by running up to them and interpreting and adjusting movements depending on the situation in combat. Featuring advanced graphics that one-up previous Tecmo games like DOA and a unique Xbox Live online feature, this sequel is aimed at both fans of the original classic and Gaiden newcomers.
We help you cut off more heads. 'Nuff said.

The Ninja Gaiden series was one of the most beloved franchises of early '90s console gamers. The original installment hit in 1989, a stunning sequel followed in 1990, and the final installment appeared in 1991. For over ten years, no new Ninja Gaiden games were made, despite the fact that the vast majority of kids who'd started out with NES were growing into adult gamers with fond memories of the series and, if anything, an increased desire to slice demonic enemies into tiny little pieces with a mystical katana. It took Tecmo's Tomonobu Itagaki, most famous for helming the Dead or Alive series (and most infamous for mouthing off about his and others' games) to bring the series back into the limelight.
