This a new game that just game out for the Xbox, and I must say, it TOTALLY kicks ass. The camera is occasionally a little hindering, but you can re-center it with a simple tap of the R trigger, so no worries.

It's hard, it's fun, and the graphics are BEAUTIFUL. Anyone else played it? Heard people reviews?

If you've got an Xbox, I highly recommend giving it a try.

It's an action/adventure game with very exciting action.

It's sort of like Prince of Persia in it's gameplay.

I'll warn you now, this game is not for the meek video game player. This game is FREAKING HARD! I have it on the normal difficulty, and it's still CRAZY hard.

However, it's totally worth it. There are some wicked cool things that you can do, like when you slide through your swing and lop the heads off of the other ninjas..that always makes me happy.

Unfortunatly I don't have an Xbox so I can't play it at my house...:(

You're soon to be a wandering minstrel, eh? Do you plan on roaming the countrysides, busking for what money you need and deflowering young maidens who have never known the sweet sound of a guitbox or the lustful touch of a man, as you travel from village to village?

It's actually a LOT like onimusha. Except you're more acrobatic and pull off a lot more stunts like wall running and attacks off of walls, and I dont remember if you had magic attacks in onimusha, and you didn't have an infinite amount of Shiruken to throw at your enemies.

Honestly, people need to start getting a bit more mature.

Ok... I like the Xbox... can someone explain what exactly is wrong with Xbox?

As far as Ninja Gaiden is concered, I went to Blockbuster to see about renting it... They only had one copy (which was out)! For such an anticipated game, I'd think they'd have more... Oh well, I'll rent it some time down the road. I'm fairly occupied with Everything or Nothing right now. Man those platnum missions are hard.

I don't own an XBox, I own a PS2, but there are games on XBox that I like (Halo, Ninja Gaiden...thats about it...). Just games that are exclusive to consoles suck(this argument doesn't affect me when it comes to Nintendo games, cuz their far to 'kiddie based' for me; AND I'M NOT SAYING THEY AIN'T GOOD TO OTHER PEOPLE THIS IS MY OPINION SO DON'T GET ON MY F'ING CASE ABOUT IT!!)

Ninja Gaiden is cool...

i agree w/the exclusive thing, like PS2 getting the new GTA. developers/producers would make alot more money if they just made them for all systems. anyway, cant wait to rent gaiden. probably next weekend. dont have 50 to buy it.:( :cool:

The people that make the systems (like Sony for example) sign a contract with a person to make their title exclusive. It gives (Sony) more money because it sells more consoles with people wanting the game so badly.

I don't got anything against the XBox. I'm just stating my opinion that it should also be on other consoles, so I suggest that you stay off my case.

SHUT THE **** UP!!!!!

I don't see whats so mature about rudely telling me to shut my mouth. If you've got a problem with me or my opinions, you'd better be man enough to PM me about it.

I think somebody needs a timeout to rest and calm down :p

You get to riled up by things man. Just let it gooo, be like, "Whatevah"

Trust me, you'll end up being a much happier and less stressed person because of it.

You're right. I've had a seriously rough morning (stupid Bow Flex! Gah!) and my attitude needs to cool down a bit. Time to head for Yoda's cooling chambers.
