First (German) Review of Ninja Blade

Here is the first German review of the upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Ninja Blade by FROM Software. The game got a pretty decent score and the reviewer describes it as "over-the-top action fiesta" and "a mix of the best elements of Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry and God of War".

Sounds good? Click link to read the full (German) review.

Thats really good, especially considering Ninja Blade falls under on those "odd" titles Microsoft publishes every year which tend to get little backing and pretty mediocre reviews.

....We only have like 1 good ninja series/franchise I welcome others...

ceedubya95921d ago

I'm looking forward to this. This game will probably fly under the radar.

Hiruma Youchi5921d ago

Not to chabby for a Software title. The demo was pretty decent also.

Obelisk925921d ago

The demo is fair IMHO. Controls are pretty good, but there are too much QTEs, and the spider boss is gay.

Anyway, good score, but I' m not looking forward this. I' m still trying to get NG2...

"I' m still trying to get NG2..."
Have you tried a shop or the internet? I hear they're both suitable for buying 8-month old games.

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?

NecrumOddBoy2232d ago (Edited 2232d ago )

It was like the Xbox Ninja Gaiden with an insane amount of QTEs. Not bad but not innovative.

SamPao2232d ago

Asura's Wrath and GOW3s QTE usage are planets apart though :D

Youngindy212232d ago

Both of those games were good so....

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.

Duke193324d ago

Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).

I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3

eyoung253324d ago

They actually only handled publishing in Japan. It was developed by Silicon Studio.

eyoung253324d ago

I wanted to keep the entries to their own respective genres. Chromehounds and Armored Core are both mecha. I almost included it though.

DarXyde3324d ago

I came here to learn something new and left disappointed.

DarXyde3324d ago

...I'm saying I knew FromSoft had a hand in all of these games. I would know, I own/ed most of them.

WhyWai883323d ago

Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....

eyoung253323d ago

I would love to see them come out with a new IP in the mecha genre. Armored Core was cool, but I think they have expanded their skills to make a more unique game.
