Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Tokyo Under Siege. A Modern-Day Ninja for a 21st Century Enemy. A parasite has mysteriously appeared, unleashing a wave of destruction – mutating humans into vicious, savage creatures. The disease has reached the shores of Japan and into the heart of Tokyo. As modern-day ninja Ken Ogawa, swing, fly, and slice your way into extreme action to save humankind from obliteration.

Overview:

Step into the dark and mysterious world of Ninja Blade, where gamers will be given the epic task to defend Tokyo and ultimately humanity itself from a horrific, genetically mutating disease.

High atop the towering skyscrapers of modern-day Tokyo, Ken Ogawa and his team of skilled ninjas are deployed to destroy the infected monster horde and stem the spreading disease as humanity hangs in the balance. Matters quickly take a turn for the worse as Ken and his team are betrayed from within their own ranks. After narrowly escaping death, Ken is left to fight the daunting battle alone while also attempting to understand the motivations behind his father’s betrayal.

EXTREME ACTION. View larger.


QUICK-TIME EVENTS. View larger.

Armed with an extensive arsenal of specialized ninja weapons, tools and skills including the powerful forces of Ninja Vision and todomé, players must fight insurmountable odds, and once again bring peace and order to Tokyo.

Features:

Unique Ninja abilities: To help defeat the genetically mutated monsters, players will have the special abilities of Ninja Vision and Todomé at their fingertips. Enabling “Ninja Vision” will allow players to detect and analyze potential enemy weak points, secret paths, and hidden information within the environment. Beware though, while using “Ninja Vision,” characters become susceptible to excess damage. Todomé is a special attack that destroys an enemy character’s core (heart), by dealing a fatal wound. Balanced and calculated use of both these abilities will be critical to progressing through the game.

Variety of weapons, tools and Ninjutsu: Specialized Ninja powers offer an enticing array of options. Varied environments force players to think strategically about which set of weapons and tools will be most effective at conquering their way through different levels. Everything from dual wielding swords, to grapple wire hooks, to grenades each have distinctive features and characteristics, so choose wisely! Ninjutsu is a special power that results in an explosive electrical force to either stun enemies or protect oneself from attack. Only true Ninja Masters can achieve this technique.

Interactive quick-time events: Scattered throughout integral parts of the storyline, characters will come across various quick-time events where players will have the opportunity to directly interact with in-game cut-scenes. Quick reflexes will be rewarded as players interact with controller buttons as directed on screen during intense battles.

Modern Realism: Ninja Blade offers a fresh twist to the classic ninja saga by basing all 3D gaming maps directly from the actual skyscrapers and building tops in modern day Tokyo.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Rent-Tastic!, May 15, 2009
By Poisoned Blade (California) - See all my reviews
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Ninja Blade (Video Game)
Ninja Blade is a ridiculously Over The Top action game that's about 7 or 8 hours of fun. While games like Ninja Gaiden are smooth, difficult, and epic, Ninja Blade feels more like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Godzilla.

Story: 4/10
Alpha Worms infest the human population, turning them into violent and deadly mutants. The Worms can also create giant Godzilla sized monsters for epic boss battles. You play an American Ninja who's father was Japanese, but was created in a lab, and there's some mention of your mother... Umm... you're basically a video game character designed to kill monsters! That's pretty much all you need to know. The story doesn't make much sense and the dialogue is more befitting of a surfer movie than an epic action film.

Gameplay: 8/10
There are 3 types of gameplay in Ninja Blade and all are fun.
1. Hack and Slash Sword Fighting and Ninja Magic vs. Zombies and Bosses
This is the core of the game. There are 3 weapon types (katana, massive heavy sword, and fast twin blades) and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. There are a fair amount of combos for each weapon and the combat is fluid and complete with finishing moves. You also get elemental Ninja Magic for fighting enemies and using the environment to your advantage. All of your weapons and magic can be upgraded by collecting orbs found in the environments or by killing enemies.

2. Quicktime Events
Reminiscent of Dragon's Lair, a crazy action scene plays and you press the right button at the right time to keep the sequence going. If you mess up, it's ok, the scene rewinds a few seconds and you can keep trying until you get it right. These action scenes are so over the top... It's like watching a Popeye cartoon if Popeye had 10 cans of Spinach... It's like a Jason Statham Movie x 100... We're talking Superman on meth! They're so ridiculous, you can't take them seriously; but they still manage to be fun. (Mostly because the game doesn't overpunish you by killing you if you make a mistake.) Also, if you have having trouble with these, you can adust the Quicktime Difficulty on the Options Menu!

3. Rail Shooter
There are some scenes in the game where you're on a helicopter or vehicle, firing a .50 cal machine gun or rocket launcher. These scenes are very exciting and pretty easy. Simply put... FUN.

The game mixes all 3 types of gameplay fairly often and it keeps the game from feeling stale. If you die, Checkpoints are fairly generous and you can continue at the last one. At the end of each of the 9 Missions, you get a score based on how well that you did. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THE GAME SAVES. Unfortunately, you can't save during a Mission. (Each Mission is about 60-30 minutes.)

Sound/Music: 6/10
The explosions and roars of the giant mosters are LOUD, and the sound contributes to the action, but the soundtrack is pretty weak. It's almost as if the team was finishing the game and somebody said, "Hey, we should put some music in here." The background music is just there. Some tracks are exciting and others are bad. One of them sounds like a guy with a saxophone is in an electric chair. (If you played the game, you know what I'm talking about.)

Art: 8/10
The art is pretty good overall. From the visual effects, to the character designs, to the Tokyo Skyline, the graphics and animations are all very good.

Overall: 7/10
The game is fun and it doesn't try to be anything else.

Ninja Blade is Rated M for Violence and Gore.

If you're looking for a fun action game that's not too hard, this is it. With a Shadow of the Colossus Soundtrack, a Real Story, and Less Silly Action Scenes, this could have been in the same league as God of War. Unfortunately, the game is more 'action cartoon comedy' than epic masterpiece. Because the game is fairly short, the hero is completely forgettable, and replay value is limited, this makes a great rental.

Avoid this one if you hate Quicktime Events, Ridiculously Unrealistic Fight Scenes, or Bad Dialogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another underrated video game worthy of a sequel!, January 21, 2010
By GOLGO 13 (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Ninja Blade (Video Game)
I would say 99.9% of reviewers in this column don't have the slightest clue what they are talking about. Ninja Blade is probably the best ninja game yet. This is a hack and slash game, simply as that, so going into it...what kinda game are you expecting? The cutscenes are bothersome I hear? Is two seconds not enough for you to press a button on your controller? I must have screwed up the cutscenes only once and thats because I needed to change batteries! The cutscenes really show the games graphical capabilities and really added to the variety of the gameplay experience. If your complaining about not being able to save in the middle of a mission then you shouldn't be playing video games anyway because you are so worried about your electrical bill. Maybe you should stick Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 on the recruit setting, at least that way you will be able to save after every checkpoint. If your a fan of the hack & slash genre ala DMC or Ninja Gaiden, then you will jump right into this game. Having played all these games, I found Ninja Blade the best. Sure the plot may not be nominated for an academy award but who downright cares?! It is quite simply a blast to play!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent game. A pleasure to play and fun, May 13, 2009
By Alexis Rios (Duvall, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Ninja Blade (Video Game)
The game is without any doubt a very good game, period. It is pure adrenaline, it takes some aspects borrowed from other games (Resident Evil, God of War, Ninja Gaiden), but the game itself shines on it's own. It is a fast paced,challenging with some of the best epic boss fights that you have ever seen in any game.

Good/Pros

Fast action paced
Great graphics
Fun gameplay
Awesome bosses
Easy to learn controls
Great combos
Length of the game is OK

Cons

Save system needs to get checkpoints in the middle of a mission (there are checkpoints), but if you turn off the console, you need to start that mission again. Need to finish the mission to get a real save game. Missions take a little bit more than an hour the first time you play (average)

No multiplayer, only uploads to Xbox Live to compare your stats to with others on the leaderboards

Even though these cons, this particular game is superb and awesome. For me it's a 5 star game and worths the money
