Maybe this game is OK on the consoles, but on PC it's an utter joyless mess.
Where to begin. Lets start with the intro movie. For me doesn't work properly. The game strangely requests windows media player 10 to be installed. I believe i have version 11 but in any case i wont downgrade for this pos. I watched the intro on YouTube & it's quite cool.
The game itself runs well & look there's even an Anti Aliasing setting, but the visuals aren't up to much. However, having Tokyo's skyline in the background for most of the game is one of Ninja Blades few plus points.
If you hated quick time events from RE5 then you'll absolutely loath Ninja Blade. They're not just occasional but all the time. What is it with this awful childish gameplay mechanic. I f*****g hate QTE with a passion. Bosses to are endless & monotonous. Again constant boss battles & QTE is kids stuff yet i get the sense that this game isn't aimed at children.
The game is as dumb as it is boring. I love the way my ninja leaps from a plane & just flies around like superman & then just lands on his two feet. Daft & ridiculous even for a Japanese game.
Ninja Blade is also awash with technical problems ranging from minor texture pop in to game stopping bugs. In one instance I failed to escape a collapsing building & then the glass I was supposed to smash out of at the end didn't smash & I had to restart the whole mission. Another menace is the fact there is no saving the game mid mission. Quit out & return later means restarting that whole mission you never quite finished. Something i hated about DMC4 was that. More bugs on show here than in an insectarium.
So poor graphics, & presentation coupled with dull story, countless bugs, repetitive combat & that wretched QTE stuff make this one of the worst games I have ever played. I would not normally review such a game but i'm so angered by it i just had to put my thoughts to text. If you're a true gamer with high standards then don't even spare this mess a thought. Maybe if you have a console but even then you still have those QTE & endless boring boss battles to contend with. I have uninstalled & shall never speak of this again.
