I got it the day it came out and loved it. No one talks about it any more! 8.5 is a uncommon score on GS, yet it seems like no one cares. This really frustrates me. Dragon Sword deserves much more attention than it has gotten.

i think many are on The World Ends With You which IS a much better game then ninja gaiden. they make remakes too much which is the reason i hate ninja gaiden. i liked the original one for the xbox. but then remakes started which i thought was pointless. the game was hard enough with the enemies spamming the guns and the bomb stars and 1 of the hardest bosses in the game was fighting you way too early. the pink octopus head person.

besides, im tired of ninja gaiden. im more of an rpg/hardcore shooter person and ninja gaiden doesnt fit in it. and i think ninja gaiden 2 will be a disappointment. there ya have it. and 8.5 is high yea but not high enough to spark peoples fuse and chase after the game. in best buy, the shelves were full of ninja gaiden for the ds. no one bought them lol. but people were stealing The World Ends With You and a few other mario games.

Ninja Gaiden DS is very underappreciated. Maybe it's coz handheld gamers with DSes buy it for experiences they can't get on a more advanced console (TBS, for ex.), but Dragon Sword is the only DS game out there where I completely disagree with almost everyone out there but Gametrailers.

TWEWY over Dragon Sword? How would that work out? They seem like completely different genres to me. I don't think TWEWY would steal any sales, especially considering NG sold poorly even before it came out ;)

Dragon Sword is not a remake. It's a completely new game for the DS. Think before you post.;)

its a short lived experience.. after beating the game.. that's it actually.. though you can change difficulty, that doesn't add the appeal to it.. :( after 5 - 6 hours and thats it..

I was very, very, VERY, VERY dissapointed with Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword. I was expecting it to be my new favorite DS game (prior to TWEWY's release), but instead I got a much easier, shorter, zero extra content Gaiden game that sits in its case on the shelf. It was good for probably 5 hours, and I havent touched it since.

You're angry because a game is not as popular as you want it to be? Man, I thought I had issues.jukeyjuke

If its not that popular, then there won't be another. If you really love a game you feel is underappreciated, it can be annoying ~_~

I'm not angry, it just annoys me when people decide to avoid a great game. Don't assume things.

I don't know. I played the demo and enjoyed the hell out of it, but for some reason I just can't be bothered to get it either. It seems unfair to the game, really. :(

I noticed this too, I made a thread on this topic a couple weeks ago also. But yeah it's an awsome game.

This stupid ninja fad is incredibly annoying especially with video games. Has anyone ever played Ninja Relfex? That game is some of the worst garbage I have ever played. I realize that Gaiden and Reflex aren't the same game but they're both crappy Ninja games. This guy sums it up pretty nicely. I haven't played Ninja Gaiden but I can only imagine how crappy it is. Can only pray that this stupid ninja garbage goes away...titanium2108

If youre going to make such an opinionated statement, dont you think you should at least play the game?

Do you actually think your comment should be taken seriously without first playing the game? No, I didnt think so.

I really loved it, actually. I rented it, and I seldom beat games that I rent. However, I actually bothered to beat it and I absoulutely loved it. It started out pretty slow but the finale was awesome. The boss fights were really great and while the puzzles weren't much fun, there were some real highlights to the game.

its really an amazing game and i expected it to get really famous cuz man i watched the trailers over and over again and they were so amazing! i was like sure it would get atleast a 9.0 o gs but hey what the heck i got the game it was amazing and if possible i could recomend the game to any ds owner cause its way beyond the league of any ds grapichal achievement at present.well the only thing is that the game was pretty short but hey its the frist ninja gaiden game on the ds so,hope they make the game a little longer nextime(well if they actually make another one, i hope they do :?).so i say screw the haters and let the game be enjoyed by as many as possible!:D

The guy must be crtl+c and crtl+v because he said the exact same thing in my thread.

Sorry, but I like Ninja Gaiden DS much, MUCH better than the WEWY. I actually sold my WEWY after playing more than half way. Just wasn't for me.

But Ninja Gaiden DS is a great game.

But Ninja Gaiden DS is a great game.

I have both and The world is just to slow. It would not be bad if you could skip the cuts scene after you die. Way to much talkink. Gaiden is just unlike any other DS game. find a DS game with control that fast and smooth.

Both games make the DS shine but gaiden just shows what you can do with the system if you are no nintendo.

To bad Gaiden is over so damn fast.
