Ugh, this is one of the most upsetting games I've played in a long time.

Alright, i played the demo of this game and absolutely loved it. I was so stoked about this game i checked online reviews everyday for a week before it came out. I saw review sites giving this game 6's and 7's and i was upset because i felt this game deserved so much better. Then, I bought it the day it came out for full 69.99 price, and thats when the regretting began. I really wanted to love this game and give it a good review but i couldn't, so WHERE DO I BEGIN?!

Graphics
The graphics are decent relative to other games. The Tokyo background environment is quite beautiful but there are much nicer games out there on the market.

Sound
The game music doesnt even exist. Its so quiet and bland it doesnt add any value to the game. Not to mention every enemy sounds the same and theres no difference between their grunts... AT ALL

Story
Surprisingly the story wasnt that bad. It didnt really fit with the action but the twists made things interesting.

Gameplay
Here is where ALL the problems reside. The stonerender sword should not have been put in the game. Its way too powerful and made every boss fight and enemy encounter a joke. All you have to do is jump and press Y and problem solved. The other weapons are completely useless.
I play a lot of FromSoftware games, and i hate japanese game producers. It seems like they're just lazy and want cash fast. The amount of recycling in Ninja Blade is ridiculous. Level 7 is identical to a previous level in the game, beating it gives you an achievement called "Deja Vu." I fought 5 bosses 3 times throughout the game, and the stupid Snail Helicopter Mutant thing like 10 times.
The funny thing is, this game's selling point was the cinematic cut scenes, which is what actually sold me. The only problem is the cut scenes are too played out, there are so many bland ones that the "epicness" loses its quality.
"hey look, im gonna jump now, then attack, then jump again, then attack, now dodge, then jump, then attack." Too much of the same goddamn cut scene actions. Now mind you, there are some funkin' slick ass cut scenes within the game, just not enough.
Not to mention, what game producer in their right mind makes a game thats ONLY story mode? What year is this? 1982?!?! For funk sake, games which have only story modes and nothing other than that are stupid games. At least some other game mode, or online mode, or theatre mode to replay cool cutscenes, ANYTHING would be nice.

Overall
This game is weak and has so much potential. F$#@ FromSoftware and their lazy attitude and I hope they go bankrupt for making such a bulls#%@ game.
For the love of GOD do not buy this game, RENT IT FIRST!!!!
