Ninja Gaiden: Official Thread

[Rocca]

it's a trend to take great story/gameplay elements from other games on making your own title better. And the guy playing the demo wasn't as good as the first person that I saw play it, who took near no damage and made the battles more fluid.

I'd say my favorite scene was just around the end when Ryu and the nunhcaku dude fought as a sort of greeting before getting down to business. Funny

The boss-battle was great - it demonstrated how deep this fighting engine is.

So how does one use the shurikens effectively? For some reason that video won't run for me. When I use them they seem to do almost no damage against enemy ninjas. I use them occasionally just for tactical reasons, to knock enemies off balance, but in terms of dealing damage they don't seem to do much thus far.

I love how even the reversal timing window in this game is smaller than DoA's.

My highest combo yet is 94. Meh.

I think my highest was somewhere in the 90's. I usually do a lot of rolling and wall jumping - I like playing with my enemies. So I don't get many really huge combos.

sigh, I want a modded, er, demo too Can't believe this got pushed back again.

Nyah. I win!

103 is my best combo. Not with the sword though, so maybe I'm discounted.

Finally reserved mine last night. Now just have to wait till March 3rd.

Or when I can get my hands on the demo

In case no one has seen the demo, there is a torrent in the following link with a 15 minute mpeg of the game in action. The player has already mastered the level so it looks incredible when he does it.

Hey awesome. Haven't been able to get the demo, so this will do nicely for now.

P.S. Nice Sasuke avatar

I'm pretty much amazed by how tight the control is in the demo. The more I play it, the more impressed I am. It's miles ahead of Otogi in this department.

The controls are great, and the graphics are phenomenal. The animation in particular is groovy. The multiple weapons are neat, as are the attacks. The bow and arrow is great as well. Now to get past this stupid door thing.
