Great side scrolling old fashioned ninja fun. I'm on the 7th level so far and I think I've killed about 12,000 ninjas to get there. Its a good game for a grown up gamer like myself who has no desire to be in 1st person, 3-d, virtual reality, or whatever. Run, jump, slash punks with a sword, and take out fools w/ chinese stars. Sounds cool doesn't it? Also a good game for younger kids (my own for sure) because its not too complicated. They can run, jump, slash punks with a sword, and take out fools w/ chinese stars. Pretty easy huh?
All in all, a great game at a low price brand new. (Raise your hand if you think all DS games should be 20 bucks)
Rating: - Good Old School platform action game...with ninjas!
I loved the original Arcade game and I was eagerly awaiting this release. I grew up in the late 80's/early 90's and loved playing the Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man games for the NES, making this game right up my alley. The gameplay is simple but fun. I love how you can do all the cool ninja things like throwing shurikens, jumping 500ft into the air and climbing walls. This game kind of reminds me of the NES Ninja Gaiden games but set in feudal Japan.
Pros:
-NINJA'S!
-Good Control
-Solid action platformer
-Game has the Japanese in-game voices
-Unlockable techniques and artwork
-Two main Characters to chose from
-Dialouge scenes inbetween levels
-Stage select option(once levels are complete)
-Unlike the original, you actually get a life bar
Cons:
-Might not appeal to fans of more modern action games
-Game might be a little too easy for hardcore gamers
-Levels can be slightly repetitive
Overall a good solid action game. If you were a fan of the original Legend of Kage, or just want to add an old school action platform game to your DS library, you can't go wrong with this title!
