This game has it all.

If you like mystical creatures this game is for you. If you like enemyies with future weapons and war this game is for you. Overall If you like ninjas this is the game for you.

The graphics are excellent better than Halo 2 Graphics-10
The gameplay is awsome except for when your in the middle of a battle and you are near a door you go on the other side of the door there geos your battle.
Gameplay-9
The base story line is great but the fact you can go back to any level is Awsome.
You just have to get some items first. Storyline-10
The weapons are cool but If youre used to a hundred weapons to pick from this isn't for you. The weapons can be upgraded wich is really good.

Even tough there's the small range of weapons you still mostly won't know which one to pick. Weapons-8
The enemies are really cool too, and sometimes even all mighty powerful.
Enemies-9
Overall this game will keep you busy. Also it will keep you challnged, this is not a game like the sims where you get bored after you beat the game. Youll play it at least two to twenty times. But I'll garentee even more.

Out of ten I would give this game 9.5. Those little mistakes are there but mostly not noticable.
PLAY THIS GAME!!

First of all I would just like to say THIS GAME ROCKS!!!!!
Ok and to the review, this game plays alot like Devil May Cry for any fans of that this game is perfect!

Ninja gaiden a game that everybody has been waited by you for ages and now it is out and the reviews in magazines ar right.

This is a very good game the graphics and everything that come along with it are perfect (they could have done better with lifespan.

Altogether ide give this game a 78% out of 100% a good game and hopefully a sign to come in the future.

graphics:10/10 these graphics are AMAZING!!!!the videos almost look real.the characters are extremely detailed

controls:9/10
these controls are great but your main attack button is x.thats okay but so is your interact button.so if you are in a battle, you use your large combo attack button. you just happen to be near a door.you walk out!thats really annoying if you're doing a Special Challenge (ex:defeat 60 dragons to get a life of the gods)

sound 10/10
the sound is great,fits the mood and not overexaggerated

replay:10/10
astounding! unlock the DDB(dark dragon blade),the 3original Nes games Very Hard difficulty,plasma Sabre,Fiend Ryu and more.

is it fun?10/10
very fun!

camera 7/10 good,but in some boss battles you cant even see a projectile being thrown or if the boss is fast and mobile(L2 boss) u cant see it at all, but not horrible.
flaws:its for you to decide. they occure rarely and arent (USUALLY)the factor of life or death.Iwish there were more save points or 1 just before a boss.aa battle i hate because of this is that thing that swallows Rachel the 2nd time.you have 2 go through both death chambers of red/blue eye every time you die. hardly any so i,personaly say a 8/10(10 =perfect)

story:a guy steals an EXTREMELY evil sword.massacres his village while Ryu's father is in the Sacred wilderness trainig ground.
(man, he is going to be pissed when he gets back)
Ryu must avenge his village by retreiving the DDB and destroying the Vigoor Empire.Is one f Ryus allies friend or foe?
for an action game 10/10
overall:9.999999999999999999999/10 very very very very very very close to perfect only those small little flaws.

AMAZING JOB TEAM NINJA oh Itagaki, you were right in my opinion Ninja Gaiden DID revolutionize action games.fix those few little flaws for 10/10

This game is like shinobe with a little bit of night shade just a better story line and not at all like metal gear solid twin snake with stupid lines like "Hey your that ninja" I like the running around killing of alot of people to me is fun sooo I have rated it on my scale a *5 out of 5* sooo I will leave I'm going to play it now
