Steel.....

Ninja Gaiden is proably one of the most realistic and prettiest games I've ever seen in my entire life...such awesome martial arts fights, sword weilding action, and stunts...even though you play as a ninja, you run up walls and use ninja stars, nunachucks, and even get to hang out with hot blondes in leather pants :naughty:

can't wait for the DOA Ulitmate coming this month also
 
I do know that....I've seen the trailer for Ninja Gaiden on the OXM demo disc for March......

Reminds me of Onimusha/Onimusha2/Genma Onimusha series with the Feudal Japan background/sotries and legends.

What's special about DOA Ultimate?
 
I got the demo of Ninja Gaiden that came with my OXM magazine last night.....

All I have to say is....it's FOCK'N AWESOME!

Ninja Gaiden totally :Owned: the Onimusha series BIG time! Samanosuke has nothin' on Ryo and his Ninja skills. The best weapon for beginners IMO has to be the nunachuku thingy since using it scores a LOT of combo hits and the kill animations ain't for the squeamish. However the controls esp jumping needs a bit of work, but it aint bad at all (hopefully it will be tweaked in the real version of the game)

Now I gotta look for some games to trade in for a real copy of Ninja Gaiden to play while I'm on vacation in a couple weeks.

Also Ninja Gaiden is going on the subtitles list. I confirmed it through the OXM demo disc.

Why, it is simply one of my very favorite fighting games and I've never get it off my hands since DOA 2 on Dreamcast lol

It features the Orginal Sega Saturn version of the first DOA, with sharper visuals and smoother graphics than ever.

DOA 2, with the DOAX graphics engine, will look alot better than the orginal DOA 2 version from Dreamcast, with special loads of unlockable costumes, levels, and more cutscenes...It just gotta be the most ultimate of the DOA ever made for Xbox. Too bad I can't play it online due to my deafness but what the fuck... I never owned the orginal DOA so I make up the past for the Xbox version and I never owned the DOA 2 Playstation 2 version either so the DOA ultimate carries more than you thought and I'm definetly excited about that... proably wont be released until June or something like that so that'll give me time to save money before then :)
 
Well I've finally got my hands on this famous game everybody was talking about...

I've played it at the EB games store and just started chapter one and as the opening begins, showing two different swords or something...but it wasn't subtitled (is there the opitions for the subtitles right?) eh, anyway, I played through the first part of chapter 1, and I thought it was just neat! beauiful and stunning graphics ever shown, and kick-ass awesome moves and stunts, as the Ninja can run up walls, jump in the air while throwing ninja stars at the enemies as he aims at any of them automatically, and dash his sword towards numberous of enemy ninjas, and even throw out ninja stars at the bats in the undergrounds of the cave. I feel that it is quite entertaining and lots of fun, but the only problem is that it can be so damn hard and you have to keep try again and again AND again until you can get this right. The white ninjas at the begining of this game were pretty tricky to defeat as the brown ninjas are still takin time to give 'em the kill. and the puzzles were kind of confusing, but they do give you hints, and know where to use them properly. I almost got at the end of chapter one, but as I got the key from the statue and went through the double doors, there lies a musclar old dude with his weapon of choice: the nunachucks. I didnt' have much health at this time, and he defeated me but thats' when I decided to take a break and then will try to rent that game and will kick his ass this time! I was only looking for Metal Gear Solid : Twin Snakes today but most stores said they wont have them until torromow! grrrr...so I guess I have to wait 'til torromow and get it and then after that, I proably will get that Ninja Gaiden game and spend the rest of the summer playing :)

Ninja Gaiden is one of the most creative and beauifully graphically well animated videogames I've longed to see in years, as it is powerful enough to run on the Xbox, and I am a proud owner of my Xbox. ;) Thanks to Tecmo and Team Ninja for their work...I give Ninja Gaiden a 9.1 lol so it receives a gold medal.
 
LMAO...yeah that was what I experienced with Chapter One at the end with Master Murai and his nunchuku's.....He's pretty tough to defeat! Using the walls makes it easy...LOL.....but at the end.....find out for yourself if he is more friend or foe.....

Steel you'll have to turn on the subtitles at the "Options" menu under "Language". Activate it before you start a new game.

Right now I'm on Stage 5 .......Big time fuckin' HARD! I had some problems but I finally figured it out myself using one certain color for clues to thelp me out ;)

Also its more useful to remember that the gameplay for Ninja Gaiden is almost that similiar cross between Onimusha and DMC/DMC2.

My Ninja Gaiden update:

Since I started out on Friday with a rented disc from Blockbuster then switched to my own copy of the game, I'm on Stage 6, half-way to taking on the Stage 6 boss (I wont name the boss for giving away spoilers....) on my second game since I fucked up a save on Stage 5 forcing me to start over....ugh.

The cinematics are so good....Pretty impressive plot especially one female character with a nice set o' Dagmars...(Hint to Team Ninja: Put her in DOA Ultimate will you? heh) The subtitles appear only in the cutscenes so that aint bad at all.

The weaponry was pretty good especially the fact that any upgrades to them add new moves a la DMC and Onimusha. Personally I prefer the bladed nunchuku's over the Dragon Sword.....If anyone has ever played DMC and remember the upgrading system, Ninja Gaiden just almost practically lifted it off DMC. Familarity breeds familarity ;) Also the magic part does help with beating some hard-to-beat bosses if the right kind of magic is picked out in the menu.

The enemies.....ooohhh Stage 1's enemy was pretty much a cakewalk (thanks to the practice I had with the OXM demo of the game that I got with my magazine) but different type of enemies at each subsequent stage gets to be a bitch to beat especially with what I am facing right now in the 2nd part of Stage 6.

I'm still working on how to get Stage 6 done in my mind as I write this....but nonetheless it's a game no xbox owner should be caught without besides Halo ;)
 
hey sable, did you get a chance to meet that purple haired chick who is called "Ayane", who is from the DOA series? I heard she was younger in this game before she has totoally improved her martial arts skills.
