I would rate the game 8.5 out of 10 . The game is a mix of Ninja Gaiden, God of war and Prince of Persia. The gameplay is super fast and has some fantastic moves you can easily pull off. You can upgrade your weapons and find hidden objects . The two things that people will not like about it is the story is meh and it has some quick time events. But the quick time events doesn't get in the way to much. Everything else is awesome.

I bought this item due to it being developed by From Software, a developer that created the celebrated Demon and Dark Souls along with many other gems... such as Ninja Blade. Now, Ninja Blade may look like a Ninja Gaiden follower... because it is, but it's really the best kind of follower possible. If Ninja Gaiden is a teacher, then Ninja Blade is a very proficient and up-and-coming student teacher. It is not a pale imitator of Ninja Gaiden, but it never quite meets its inspiration's level, either. The main reason for this is, unfortunately, the game's brevity. It's several hours too short, if you ask me. If it had another 3 or 4 hours of content added onto it, then I'd say it'd almost be perfect, something sweet and grand. Yet, in reality, Ninja Blade is only around 8-9 hours, depending on how you play it in normal mode. At least the game is fun enough that you WANT to play it again and find its secrets, going towards harder difficulties or not. With that out of the way, let me just say Ninja Blade's plot is better than your typical Ninja Gaiden story, and, again, I would have loved to see more of it, but I highly enjoyed what was given to me. The controls aren't a total Gaiden clone, and actually feel heavier, more realistic, and closer to the Souls games than Gaiden. And the highly-cinematic quick-time sequences were a very nice touch! Anyway, if you can find Ninja Blade I suggest you at least try it, and I'm sure you'll like it too, and if you find it for only 6-10 dollars, then I think you don't have an excuse not to snap it up!Read full review
If you're going to play Ninja Blade, it's for the totally ridiculous and over-the-top action that closes out each level. Ken Ogawa doesn't just kill these parasitic monsters of the night. He ends them with the kind of style great B-movies are made of. What's the best way to kill a giant spider? With a wrecking ball, of course. Cars and rubble flying through the air aren't just debris. They're platforms to run atop and jump off. These are all played out through quick-time-events to keep the player engaged, not that you really need any encouragement. These kill moves had the entire IGN editorial office cheering at their sheer lunacy.
Alright, first things first. You probably have never heard of this game, however you should have. It is one of the best, I think, cinematic games out there right now. The game might seem over the top, and lots of people have not heard of it, since the makers of the game are new to video game design of top rated games, however dont miss out your chance on this one. The game plays just like any Ninja hack and slash game, however, this one adds a huge punch in the cinematics sequences, where each cinematic is played out by no other but you! You control each cinematic scene in the game by pressing corresponding buttons as your ninja does amazing acrobatic moves to kill his enemies. Dont worry, there is a lot of gameplay within each mission, as each consists of at least an hour or two, and there are 9 missions, with plenty of bosses in each one. This games ending is epic, the games future is great, so get your copy on ebay for cheap!Read full review
The game is without any doubt a very good game. It is pure adrenaline, it takes some aspects borrowed from other games (Resident Evil, God of War, Ninja Gaiden), but the game itself shines on it's own. It is a fast paced,challenging with some of the best epic boss fights that you have ever seen in any game. Good/Pros Fast action paced Great graphics Fun gameplay Awesome bosses Easy to learn controls Great combos Length of the game is OK (9 to 12 hours to beat) Cons Save system needs to get checkpoints in the middle of a mission (there are checkpoints), but if you turn off the console, you need to start that mission again. Need to finish the mission to get a real save game. Missions take a little bit more than an hour the first time you play (average) No multiplayer, only uploads to Xbox Live to compare your stats to with others on the leaderboards Even though these cons, this particular game is superb and awesome. For me it's a 5 star game and worths the moneyRead full review
