Gamespot: Ninja Blade Review

Kevin VanOrd writes:

"Even if the amount of content here doesn't rival what you can find in the best action games, Ninja Blade still delivers plenty of boisterous entertainment. This is derivate fun, delivered with panache and a touch of lunacy. While it suffers from a few too many technical flaws, Ninja Blade is still a blast to play."

About time we got a first review on this game.

Saaking5649d ago (Edited 5649d ago )

Ninja blade? Didn't it come like a long time ago. The 360's "God of War killer?" LMAO. Looks like the PC version didn't do too well either.

-Alpha5649d ago

Er, I don't remember too many people calling Ninja Blade a GoW killer, unless you can direct me to some sources.

Even still, how do you kill a God of War XD?

Bnet3435649d ago (Edited 5649d ago )

Yeah, never heard of Ninja Blade being a God of War killer either.

ReservoirDog3165649d ago

Ask Kratos.

I think if you survive the encounter, you'll find out.

rucky5649d ago (Edited 5649d ago )

Yup, this goes to prove how some stupid comments can't be undone.

Marceles5649d ago (Edited 5649d ago )

lol yeah I remember that...funny times, I even commented

http://n4g.com/NewsCom-2911...

-Alpha5649d ago

And you people took HHG SERIOUSLY!?

Come on now, we all know to think opposite of what HHG says.

Marceles5649d ago

No one did, read the comments lol. And this is almost a year ago, see how much has changed? /end sarcasm

Elvfam5115649d ago

What do you mean you people?

kaveti66165649d ago

Well, it's not fair that if HHG calls Ninja Blade a GOW killer, the PS3 fanboys are gonna act like the 360 fanboys said it. That's just not fair.

-Alpha5649d ago

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Whether it was intentional or not SaaKing needs to watch what he says because that is slanderous.

Saaking5649d ago

LMAO, just like most if not all the games on the 360 is year, this game flopped.

shocky165649d ago

You know funnily enough, all consoles have struggled this year with big "AAA" exclusives, i'll admit PS3 has had the strongest year with a whopping TWO AAA exclusives according to our the unbiased source of Gamerankings, while 360 has had 1 and Wii 0.

Yeah bad year all around it seems.

Oh well, MW2 + Dragon Age: Origins > anything else this year games wise.

Elven65648d ago

lol I find it funny that you turn around in the Gamer Zone and ask "why do I lose so many bubbles, why do people call me a fanboy? why so many disagrees", etc.

Digitaldude5649d ago

This games old, why is the review coming now?

ReservoirDog3165649d ago

I think it's cause it came out on the pc.

TheIneffableBob5649d ago

PC review. Try reading the review before you comment next time.

Blaze9295649d ago

This is N4G - it's all about commenting before reading.

Digitaldude5649d ago

Err yeah thats why i put a question mark at the end, was asking a question.

Ninja Blade

They might as well should have called it "Ninja Game that looks like Ninja Gaiden"

DARK WITNESS5649d ago

ya, but that would be insulting NG way to much.

NB was an awful game. I would not say I defended the game, but I was one of the people who was willing to give the game a chance based of the demo and the fact that from software gave us Otogi.

The problem with the game was that it was nothing else other then the demo just repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.... till the game ended.

personally as a big NG fan I thought NG2 was a bit of a let down, but NB was just a really really really bad game. There are way better games to play.

Sekiro Is Not From Software’s Best Ninja Video Game

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?

NecrumOddBoy2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

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

SamPao2223d ago

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

Youngindy212223d 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.

Duke193315d ago

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

I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3

eyoung253315d ago

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

eyoung253315d ago

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

DarXyde3315d ago

I came here to learn something new and left disappointed.

DarXyde3315d ago

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

WhyWai883314d ago

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

eyoung253314d 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.
