Ninja Gaiden has some of the best graphics of all time. It is one of the most addicting games ive played and one of the most fun. it has totalally immersive gameplay which can keep you playing for days and days. The story is of young Ryu Hayabusa who is seeking revenge on Doku the single person that slayed Ryu's entire clan. Through the story you encounter people that help you and those that dont proving that even the most unexpected things can happen. It does take a while to beat (my best time, which was my second try, was 4hours 30minutes and i never died once)because you have to go through 16 chapters and as ive read other reviews people get tired of being killed.This game allows you to do many wierd things like running on walls and running up walls also doing flips off walls. You can also you a thing called Ninpo which are like spells that have different effects like allowing you to shoot a fire ball in front of you and being enveloped by moving fire balls. This game has many different weapon allowing you to have a primary and a projectile weapon. The controls are probably the easiest(other than the classic Marios)and there are a ton of combos so you can either kill everyone a different way or everyone the same way. This game is diffenantly a must buy, must have and all those other good awards. I mean lets face it ninjas are awesome.
