The game does give you the bloody slash-em-up you wanted. but it does have a difficulty that can create boring habbits.

When first playing the demo that I downloaded off the PSN I absolutley loved it and could not settle for just the first level, I wanted more. So I went out and bought it and right away did not regret it. The game's amazing battles and fights create an awesome replay value. But going further into the game, of coarse, the fights got harder and the other ninjas got stronger. This caused me to fight in another matter which got boring and repetitive. Where i would hold block, dance around, and dodge. waiting for a time to strike. So in my oppinion. the abbility to block and jump around never getting hit is a little too repetitive and simple. This takes away from the epic killing and head slashing that the game is all about. Although the first levels are great and at the perfect difficulty, the further in the game you get, the more it forces you to noob ur way outa every fight.
