kinda cool but I don't have enough free time for games like this

Ninja Gaiden is one of my favorite childhood games on the Xbox Original
so it feels kinda nostalgic to play it now

but when I completed it, it has some issues

First the boss "most of them" is bad
they will be only too easy, or too hard that make me nervous
some level design is not good
Playing with Rachel is good for diversity but it's restricted

But The combat system is great, very great
normal Enemies and diversification of them is good، but their spawn is bad.

the camera is Horrible.

The CGI cutscenes quality is so bad, some time you can see pixels in the screen.

I don't recommend play it if you don't like the hard games.

Rating: 7.8/10 - Pretty Good

I like the combat and how fast paced it is but the enemy design is a large pool consisting of hits and misses. I do like the weapons but the fact that some enemies are just immune to some of your moves feels cheap. The game could've been much better if they took the opportunity provided by this Sigma remaster to add a quick weapon swap and lock on.

The bosses are really good tho.

Huge disappointment compared to the masterpiece that is ninja gaiden black

I can't belive people bring up this game when talking about games like Devil May Cry and Bayonetta. It's just slippery and frustrating when you fail, and then when you are doing good you don't feel like you are doing anything special.


Juego para masoquistas.
Una jugabilidad exquisita en lo técnico y en lo visual que resiste cualquier prueba del tiempo y de por medio fases frustrantes, falto de QoL, plataformeo, Rachel y algún que otro boss flojo.
No confío en nada de lo que diga alguien sobre videojuegos si no lo ha jugado.

Not as good as Black but still very decent

abi bu oyun mekanik olarak ta içerik olarak ta boss kalitesi olarak da çok üst düzey de bir oyun
ÇİFT SOLUCAN YA DA 3 LÜ SOLUCAN BOSSLARI GİBİ OROSPU EVLADI BOSSLAR OLMASA
oyun gerçekten bir başyapıt amk zorluğu da dmc3 ile aynı dost abarttığı için(sağ olsun) internette boş bir ağlama var

This has to be one of the worst video games ever made, and this is not an April's fool

O boss final disso me irritou, que odio daquela merda.
Os peixes são os demonios do inferno.

If you play this game on normal or ninja dog mode, it's absolutely fair and fun. Imo this game has the most realistic gameplay in all of the hack and slash games. Music is great, level design is not bad, gameplay is fucking amazing, story is decent, bosses are... meh. The only BIG problem is the difficulty. This game is probably the most unfair game i have ever seen in my entire life. For example in every level you get a shop for buying life regeneration items etc. but in the final boss area there isn't any shop. Why the fuck did you guys do this? There are some stupid difficulty, unfairness and unforgiveness problems in this game, but if you feel this game is hard for you just play it on Ninja Dog. Then you can finish it in normal mode, trust me. I have beaten this game in Master Ninja mode and it's SO FUCKING HARD AND UNFAIR. But i managed to kill final boss with no damage so start at ninja dog, then work your way up to hard mode. Very hard and master ninja are truly shit, but difficulties below them are not THAT hard. So if you're a hack and slash fan and want yourself to get ass kicked, this game is exactly for you! I strongly recommend it, even with it's stupid difficulty.

que ricas las minitas de este juego 9/10

Tá... por que eu faço isso comigo?
Eu consigo até ver algumas possíveis qualidades que o jogo poderia ter, principalmente na época que o original saiu, em principal o sistema de Combo que é extremamente mais rápido, dinâmico e completo do que a grande maioria dos jogos do gênero que haviam na época... porem isso hj em dia é o maior dos problemas.
Esse jogo envelheceu pior do que leite fora da geladeira depois de 1 semana.
A gameplay é travada, os controles são pouco responsivos, a câmera é caótica, os combos raramente funcionam como deveriam.
Combinado ao fato que o jogo já tem uma dificuldade elevada propositalmente, com uma IA agressiva e que dá poucas brechas, nos temos um jogo que acaba sendo injusto, por que diversos momentos é quase impossível reagir bem contra os inimigos quando você não enxerga pela câmera tendo um derrame e pelo Ryu não fazendo o golpe que você quer por que o input não tá respondendo corretamente.
E pra terminar de jogar sal na ferida nos 2 últimos capítulos temos uma sequencia desgraçada de inimigos extremamente fortes e um boss rush junto a uma escassez de recursos devido a não ter lojas, tornando o jogo punitivo pra quem acaba dependendo dos itens, coisa que poderia ser resolvido facilmente colocando opção de loja no começo de cada Capitulo, como em Devil May Cry por exemplo.

Fucking hell, man.
Maybe this was good at the time, but going back to it now is hell.
The character moves like an old resi character, the platforming sucks and the combat is mostly just non-stop Izuna Drops (This is actually a good thing).

The Rachel bits were dreadful, and this was the point that made me quit for good.

Finally got to enjoy Ninja Gaiden in its easier version since I couldn't get past level 2 in the original Xbox version when I was a kid. It's a great game and in retrospect I can't believe the OG Xbox was able to handle this back in the day. Lots of verticality and rewards for exploration, had so much fun with the easy yet sometimes challenging hero mode.

Very challenging, snappy, and pretty engaging. It looks cool, but is quite sample and not too extravagant. The story feels like its some bullshit, but thats ok.HOWEVER, I think that once the game goes underground, my enjoyment on it quickly goes down. I much prefered fighting the human opponents than the demons. I really fell off after 2 levels of being underground because i felt the enemies were generic looking and were not very fun to fight against. Its a shame. The final score of this game represents the whole package, but if i was to rate the game before that, I think this is a solid B+

Ninja gaiden 1 is rough. I wouldnt start with this game, id start with 2. This game kinda throws you in and doesnt help you really figure out how to do the things. Its only after i played 2, understood how to be a ninja, then come back to one and enjoy it more. The path to learning the mechanics in 1 is alot more rough, similar to how nioh 1 will kick your ass at the start but nioh 2 will gently kick your ass until you get it. however, my personal retrospective still doesnt change my mind that the bosses still suck ass, some of the platforming is awful, and the camera can get fucky at times. I think its a good game but its not something a lot of people will play and truly enjoy to the end imo. Theres also the unnecessary rachrl segements that suck. Its truly sad that the "best" versions of ninja gaiden game are locked to the xbox, meaning the only real way anyone will play them is through the sigma collection. ng2 sigma is still better than the orignal and i will die on that hill

Not a bad game, but not a game that I would play again. The combat is fine only when it comes to trash mobs, and then trash mobs after certain point get bland af to fight due to the way the levels are designed.

Even when I finish a chapter it's more like "thank god that's over" than "wow that was awesome". Slippery platforming, annoying camera controls, objectification and nonsense as a rule (uncomplimentary) means I ain't sweating out the other half of this game.

I'm optimistic for NG2. Apparently they just take out all the bad stuff from this one.

Pues un gameplay bastante costroso, una dificultad y equilibrio carentes de sentido, level design bastante pobre y muchísimo padding, mucho potencial desperdiciado

Une purge.
Level-design et rythme au fraise : chapitre trop long à cause des aller-retour intempestif (jusqu'à 1h sur certains chapitres), level parfois "labyrinthique" qui casse complètement me rythme du jeu.
Gameplay perfectible : caméra mal gérée dans les zones étroites ou avec des cibles rapides, pas de lock (ce qui rend les cavaliers et motards horribles à affronter). Système de parade et d'esquive très rigide en comparaison du reste des mouvements de Ryu. Heureusement le feeling des armes, les combos, le dynamisme des combats relève un peu le niveau.
Sauf, que les boss ne sont tout simplement pas à la hauteur : recyclage, mal équilibré (parfois beaucoup trop simple), design sans inspiration, (sérieux qui avait envie de combattre un tank et un hélico, en spammant des flèches...).
L'univers un mélange tout sauf harmonieux : Le thème Japon féodale, du premier chapitre laisse vite place à un univers technologie très brute, puis une ambiance plus sale/poisseuse centrée sur des démons/l'enfer (à la fois très lambda et sans personnalité), en parsemant l'ensemble de zone sur le thème de l'Égypte et même des aztèques qui semblent n'avoir rien à foutre dans le jeu.
Bref le jeu n'a quasiment rien pour lui, hormis ses graphismes. Une purge donc.

Played and loved it on xbox, also bought it on ps3, the changes are slight but pretty good, and it goes even harder than the original too.

I streamed this because a friend said it was a banger game and was challenged to do my first playthrough on hard difficulty. What ensued was probably the most painful video game experience I have ever went through. Apparently has more camera problems than Ninja Gaiden Black, so play Black instead of this if you can. But either way, only play if you are a super masochist


Caralho, como eu odeio e amo esse jogo.

ryu is a beta sadly, false advertsing

Yo creo que en su momento este debió ser un juegazo, quizás no envejeció de la mejor forma.

En mi experiencia lo disfrute la gran parte del juego debido a que el combate esta bien implementado. Me gusto la cantidad de jefes que tiene el juego.

Lo más negativo que podría decir seria que la cámara es tediosa en algunas partes, pero todo el resto estuvo bien.
