This is my first Ninja Gaiden other than one I played on the DS forever ago I do not understand the review score of this game it has the most fluid fast-paced combat I've ever experienced I love the art style it's comic book is colorful it has personality I love the humor but man is the combat so addictive and fast-paced if you like to Bayonetta you're going to love this it has the same personality as Bayonetta one

I read that most Ninja Gaiden fans and players alike were not too thrilled about this game. At first, I wasn't sure either. But when you keep in mind that it is a spin-off, there is some fun to be had with Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. Combat is still enjoyable, though it's different and you gotta think strategically about your options, may be when using your Bloodlust ability or your choice of temporary weapon. Story is campy and self-aware, but the characters are funny and they're not overdoing it. I would like to see Miss Monday in a DOA Xtreme game :-) Overall, not a bad experience. It's still hard as hell, especially during the ''Hell'' difficulty playthrough, and somewhat the Arcade mode as well, so if you feel up to a challenge, that may be a good place to start before getting into the proper Ninja Gaiden games, where you absolutely gonna have your ass kicked.

It really can't be compared to any ninja gaiden game at all, it's seriously not as good as any game of the franchise, but it's hard to complain about something I got for like 2$. It's not super fun, or challenging, but it is definetly a pretty funny game, Yaiba is actually a pretty hillarious guy if you see him as a product of his time, the zombies are silly, haviung lots of scenes of them doing dumb little stuff and thats kinda adorable. The game being abnormally silly and unserious doesn't make sense when compared to all other ninja gaiden games, but as its own thing, its appreciated, you getting to see a product of its time filled with silly dumb jokes about sex or whatever is kinda cool in its own way, despite game issues. So yeah, just buy it on a very very VERY cheap sale, and only if you really want to try it out. It's not a good game, but it's also far from worthless I guess.

was waiting for this game to go on sale and it finally did for $3, and i would say despite some definite flaws it's worth it for that price definitely. this game acts as a spin-off to the regular ninja gaiden game and it has a cool, comical art style, and some pretty decent combat despite the weird combat. the music is a definite strong point and it acts well for this game. it also has some funny moments, as well as badass ones. it feels lackluster in comparison to the regular ninja gaiden games, but if you ignore that fact and play it as it's own thing...you will find enjoyment in it. there is only 7 missions, they are pretty much arena based and it's short and packed with some laughs and decent combat. pick it up on a steep sale, but i wouldn't say it's worth $30.

YAIBA: NINJA GAIDEN Z pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //a lot of difficult battles/boss battles //a lot of overpowered enemies //some enemies have unfair attacks //a lot of difficult platforming //could use more health drops //losing battles are a grindfest (going back to checkpoints will respawn a lot of enemies) //some times too many enemies spawn in battle //some lack of directions/instructions //awful camera angles (no user control) //some difficult quick time events (button pressing) //sometimes too many traps/hazard areas //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $1.99 Or Less During Sale
