Ninja Blade for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

The best way to describe this game is a mix between God of War for Playstation and Ninja Gaiden. With a mix of standard 3rd person view and Quick Time Events it made for a good gaming experience.

When playing this game take this into consideration, God of War and Ninja Gaiden should be flattered by the immitation this game presents. However that does not mean that you are playing the same caliber of game. While Ninja Blade does a good job of taking from other games successes, it does not create the same thrills as the fore-mentioned games.

The gameplay while in normal slash mode is good, it creates a good balance of enemies and the need to use the different swords, which you don't have to find at all. All three swords are given to you in the first level. It's definately satisfying to use your wire swords to spit back an enemy projectile, then quickly switch to the normal sword to take out nearby enemies.

The QTE are something different altogether. It is similar to god of war in that the button presses allow you to perform finishing moves in an elaborate fasion, but different in that there are extended events that are difficult and stunning to watch. Taking out a huge spider with a wrecking ball in the first level definately made me a bit giddy.

To sum up, don't expect anything spectacular from this game. It's definately worth renting for a week (It's not a long game) just to see what its all about. The story line is not something to write home about but be prepared for some awsome action to make up for it!
