Ninja Gaiden: Official Thread

[Zondaro]

It's not so much that they copied Resident Evil's style of puzzles... its that the font used for the text descriptions seem so darn similar... and the descriptions themselves? "Key of Courage?" I mean come on...

As for the camera: I really do consider myself a camera critic, but I think a game can be so fun to play that it overcomes a bad camera. Ninja Gaiden is an incredibly fun game with very very minor camera concerns, so it's almost a non-issue in my opinion. I just wish that they had worked with their strong suit and not put so many small claustiphopic rooms in a row. Not the best way to show off the camera system. Still, this is supposed to be an old demo.

New impressions posted by Gamespot tonight:

We've just barely scratched the surface of Ninja Gaiden, and already the game has us pretty well floored.

I just got a chance to play the demo tonight, and I must say, it's a hum-dinger. I don't like the camera, though.

I'm torn on the camera, on one hand, it's far from bad, and on the other, using the R button to center it is awkward.

Just watched a few videos from Game Informer.

Wasn't interested in NG before at all, but it actually looks a lot better than I expected all around.

Don't think I'll buy it, but I'm definately going to rent it as soon as it's at Blockbuster.

Well, a game like this only comes around once in a decade or so...

You know... after enough good stuff comes out that they have a healthy reservoir of ideas to steal from

Just saw the commercial, wow is this badass. Even though it's just the demo, one of my NG enthusiastic friends got surprised with the demo at college today and I swear he would of left his lab class just to play. Invited some friends that didnt play games whatsoever and they all thought NG was beautiful. Can't wait....March2nd for now.

Wonderful!

Been posted few posts above.

Still funny though.

I got the demo tonight, and dj spent all evening playing it. It looks and plays awesome. Again, camera isnt all that problematic, and action is fast and bloody. Awesome ammount of moves, especially for the game of this kind. Controls are spot on, and moves are easy to do. I love the jump on enemies head and then teleport in with deadly dash move. Heads are rolling in all directions.

We still need to beat the boss, who is pretty challenging, at least for now.

Its truly impressive both visually, and fun gameplay wise, and two weeks can pass faster.

Finally tried the demo tonight, it seems interesting, but I really don't like that camera.
