Electronic Theatre In-depth Review: Ninja Blade

August 16, 2009 in Reviews comments 3

Electronic Theatre offers an in-depth review of From Software's most recent Current-Generation release, the Xbox 360 exclusive Ninja Blade, available now across European retail at a discounted price.

Ninja Blade does not, in fact, represent the sum of the many years of experience developing the critically acclaimed Tenchu franchise. Closer to God of War in its’ gameplay agenda, Ninja Blade is a collection of Devil May Cry influenced combat, Quick-Time Entry (QTE) sequences and on-rails shooting. The very opening sequence sets the scene for an adrenaline pumping adventure as, while plummeting to earth, the player is tasked with taking out foes via a QTE sequence over a beautifully neon night time cityscape. Few games create such a rush within their first moments, and Ninja Blade never truly lets-up.

    The action scenes and QTEs are brilliant in this game. It's a non-stop thrill ride of killing infected groups with an array of weapons (speed-based, power-based, and balanced). The story's average, a kind that has been seen before, but eh, it's definitely worth a rent.

    find a ninja gaiden 2 review.

    replace 'ryu looks badass' with 'this guy looks gay as shit'.

    in the sentence(s) that proclaim "it's exactly like the last ninja gaiden, but that's not a bad thing" - cut off the latter half of that sentence.

    on all the screenshots of ryu being awesome, photoshop a big ballsack onto it.

    now you have a ninja blade review.
