My First Ninja Gaiden Game and my introduction to the series.
Story: 8 (Kind of ruined the first few NG for X-box since I haven't played them.)
Graphics: 10 (It was a DS game so I considered that and I loved the detail on all the bosses.)
Audio: 9 (It had some good music but I found myself not interested in that music and not attentive to it.)
Time Playing: 8 (I like games that really last and was a little disappointed when I beat it in 6:30 but loved every minute.)
Game-play: 10 (It was the game-play that captivated me. At EB games I played the demo and I knew it would be a good game.)
As I said averaged 8.8 but rounded 9.0. I would recommend this game if you have the money to spare.
