Ninja Blade

Ninja Blade is an Xbox 360 exclusive. You play as a ninja who fights hordes of monsters in modern day Tokyo. The game is rated M and will be out next week on the 7th.

I personally found the demo to be more badass and fun than ninja gaiden

Ninja Blade looks like it stole the Blades of Chaos and boss finishes from God of War; the dodging and air combo mechanics from Devil May Cry; the outbreak of a horrific mutating disease in a major city plot from Resident Evil; and the blocking, combat and general theme from Ninja Gaiden.

its probably not a deep game... but it feels like it has more possibility than any of the games you've listed.. which have all hit their peak

This game is sure to make a success (probably). Didn't From Software make other good games in the past like Otachi?

Never heard of this game before.

Here's a vid of the demo of Ninja Blade.

The game came out today and here are some of the reviews:

1. VideoGamer.com - 8/10

2. IGN - 6.5/10

3. Official Xbox 360 Magazine - 3/10

Honestly I don't think you should listen to Official Xbox 360 Magazine because the guy who's reviewing Ninja Blade sounds like an idiot.

Ninja Blade received a 4 out of 5 by X-Play. This game is actually good.

X-Play guys are kinda jerks and fanbois. I rarely ever trust them wit game reviews.

Stole?

I know someone that has the full game. Before it hit the stores anyways and he told me that while the game is pretty good, its also very short. Any truth to that?

I heard from somewhere that the game is 12 hours long.

That's it? Damn, that is short.

too bad you dont start from the area before the QTE, when you screw up an input lol.. kinda wonky that it "rewinds" and lets you try again immediately

I don't find anything wrong with it. It's like that when you die, the screen fades and you have to do the same thing all over again but instead, time just rewinds with the screen being all black and white.

I played the demo and it feels like a God of War ripoff, (a good thing for me actually, since I loved God of War). I just hope its a decently long game.

I've read a couple of reviews of this and the general consensus seemed to be that yes, the game rips a lot of other franchises off, but it executes all those things perfectly which makes for a very amusing game.
