Who's the Master Ninja? You da Master Ninja...
All the extras included in this game are great and make it an even better game than before. Master Ninja Mode has got to be the most challenging difficulty mode ever. I beat it though, I wish we could have gotten something special like God mode or somethin, cause that was pretty difficult. You thought Ninja GAIDEN was hard....please, when you got annoying enemies trying to take you out as well as the boss....but anyway, this game is so cool to me I just love it. Ryu Hayabusa is the coolest ninja ever made. This whole game is like a piece of art. Having an HDTV makes you appreciate all the beautiful visuals you see. I think Ive played this game more than Halo 2, and this aint even multiplayer.
The only thing I was dissapointed with was the removal of the "intercept" blocking where you were able to parry an enemies attack. I could see why they took it out though cause if you have good coordination this can make the game a whole lot easier. They wanted to make it even harder than before though...
A word of advice, the best defense method in this game is the reverse wind roll, as soon as you block an enemies attack, use it wisely. And the most difficult mission on this game is the last one fighting two bosses at the same time, on Master Ninja Mode... whoa still aint beat that though... You've never fought enemies like this or creatures like this in any other game before, you've never seen a woman with breasts this big before.(lol)
This game is not for the uncoordinated gamer. I don't even think Capcom's DMC can rival the quality, the finesse of Ninja Gaiden. I hope Ninja Gaiden 2 will be just as revolutionary as the first, probably wont come out until 2008 or 2009 but its gonna be great just as this one was. It shoulda have been greater really...
The best game ever made in my opinion.
