Analysis: When Console To PC Conversions Go Awry

Gamasutra: Ninja Blade is an insane game. It’s generic and predictable, but you almost suspect it wants to be, and it magnifies those genre quirks into something utterly overblown and ridiculous. I’m not really into that anyway, and even without the impenetrable wall of PC-specific problems, I still don’t find Ninja Blade to be anything above utterly mediocre. That’s fine, though – a lot of people will be okay with the game’s approach. It’s okay for players to disagree over a game’s quality.

Except, I must admit to being completely dumbfounded by the handful of positive reviews this PC version has received. That’s because, as a PC game, I found it to be borderline unplayable.
