Overhyped......
I think not...
Let's start off with the beginning scene, where a ninja jumps out and comes at another ninja, both of them look basically the same; and your ninja needs to defend himself and kill the other ninja. How you ask? Who the hell knows the game starts off without telling you much.
The game play is pathetic; controls are iffy, 'combos' are weird to execute.
Graphics wise, the game isn't half bad, but if you look at the biceps of the first boss, you think you're playing on the PSX or something.
Enemy AI ....what's that? Cause I don't think it was incorporated at all. The enemies just mindlessly swing at you really, all of which are easily dispatched.
Overall in my opinion this game stinks....if you're an old fan, then I guess you'll like it, I'll stick to old school Ninja Gaiden myself..
