I remember playing this game as a kid, and loving it! The screenshots look amazing, let's hope that they don't ruin it by "updating" it....

Apparently, they're trying to make it the greatest action game on the Xbox....but we'll see....

it could definitly use another killer title. I wish it would have been multiplatform so I could play it on Gamecube but they would have had to compromise the features a bit, I imagine.

How about it folks?

X-Box was slow to start but it took off like a racehorse! I remember way back when Computer Gaming World had an article entitled "Just What The Hell Does Bill Gates Know About Games Anyway"? A LOT apparently :)

And yes, as a veteran of all 3 Ninja Gaiden games (only beat 3 sadly) I will say they were hard as hell. And now they have a chance to become even greater. Too cool, man, too cool! :applaud:

"Those with less imagination might have stood around slowing chopping away at the seemingly endless horde of ninjas coming at them in the first level of Tecmo's demo, but not me. I was running along walls, flinging shurikens, dashing across the floor tagging enemies with 20-hit combos and then unloading a half-dozen shurikens in their backs as they lay prone on the ground. I was doing backflips off the wall and hitting Y for powerful downward slashes and then offering a few quick tugs on the Left Trigger to block some incoming attacks before leaping over the crowd of ninjas, speeding around the room, fighting an enemy for one or two swipes, leaving them to strike down another foe, and coming back to the first for a finishing blow."

Ok, I want this game NOW.

No tenchu is all about stealth, this is more about action.

Just a correction: Earlier I said I only beat 3, when what I meant to say was I beat the first two NG games and not the third. Sorry about that. :) I have the emulator for all 3 NG including Ancient SHip Of Doom, so this may change in the future :cool:

Tenchu was cool though, sneaking behind the soldiers and slicing their throats and all. The boss with the cave bear was one nasty mofo!
