VideoGamer.com Writes:
"From a technical point of view the game doesn't do anything ground-breaking, with the large bosses being the highlight of an otherwise drab looking game. There's the odd bout of slowdown too, which is a tad disappointing. But this doesn't matter. In a similar, but nowhere near as extreme, way to Earth Defence Force 2017, the sheer scale of the encounters make up for any shortcomings. Ninja Blade has the added advantage of not being bad looking; it's just not all that inspiring. Oh, and the voice acting and in-game acting is verging on terrible, but it shouldn't come as a huge surprise to find out that this suits the game rather well."
Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.
Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.
I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?
FromSoftware is a game developer that has found popularity in the gaming industry thanks to their widely popular and best-selling series, Dark Souls. They may have gained notoriety from this series, but they have been around since 1986 with their first video game published in 1994 and have produced many popular games. Here are 5 games they have made that are not Dark Souls.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.
I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.
Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).
I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3
Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....
"In Mortal Kombat X, Most of the cut scene fights are just there for you to watch, then every once in a while unannounced, the game goes to a quick time event." -Play Legit
Play Heavy Rain and the walking dead series then see if that question is even worth asking.
Yes, yes they should. They've always been an excuse to escalate drama through lazy button prompts than any game design.
good:
* A real roller-coaster
* Immensely fun
bad:
* Some drab locations
* QTEs will put off some players
mmm looks like the good outweighs the bad. Nice review.
I'm so going to buy this! I though the demo was a blast it was way over the top.
I hope this game will tide me over till Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 hits the PS3.
guy are always too easy on x360 exlusives..
They gave Uncharted a 8 as well and there is noway Uncharted is the same as this game.
Heck they gave Gears1,2 Halo3 and Mass Effect all 10s while they gave MGS4, LBP 9's. They never gave a PS3 excluisve a 10.
7.3 meta = a good score to try a rental first. Too many people make their decisions on reviews alone. Army of Two was down there, and that was one of my favorite games of last year (thanks to co-op).
