VideoGamer Review: Ninja Blade

VideoGamer.com Writes:

"From a technical point of view the game doesn't do anything ground-breaking, with the large bosses being the highlight of an otherwise drab looking game. There's the odd bout of slowdown too, which is a tad disappointing. But this doesn't matter. In a similar, but nowhere near as extreme, way to Earth Defence Force 2017, the sheer scale of the encounters make up for any shortcomings. Ninja Blade has the added advantage of not being bad looking; it's just not all that inspiring. Oh, and the voice acting and in-game acting is verging on terrible, but it shouldn't come as a huge surprise to find out that this suits the game rather well."

good:
* A real roller-coaster
* Immensely fun
bad:
* Some drab locations
* QTEs will put off some players

mmm looks like the good outweighs the bad. Nice review.

Acidicpack6282d ago

I'm so going to buy this! I though the demo was a blast it was way over the top.
I hope this game will tide me over till Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 hits the PS3.

SCThor6282d ago

It's official, it flopped...now back to R&C

Montrealien6282d ago

People like SCThor are what is wrong with the onlinevideogame community these days...very sad.

/on topic

This game`s reviews are all over the place, I`ll check it out, seems like a fun rental, thats for sure.

cmrbe6282d ago

guy are always too easy on x360 exlusives..

They gave Uncharted a 8 as well and there is noway Uncharted is the same as this game.

Heck they gave Gears1,2 Halo3 and Mass Effect all 10s while they gave MGS4, LBP 9's. They never gave a PS3 excluisve a 10.

Montrealien6282d ago (Edited 6282d ago )

They must of prefered those games, I dont agree with them, but it does not mean their opinion is wrong, its just theirs. These anti PS3 tin foil hat routines are getting pretty old. Is it so hard to just enjoy the games you like without needing approval in the form of reviews from videogame sites?

Every dissagree will prove that for some people, it is hard to just enjoy games they like unless their choices are validated by some review. That kind of lack of self confidencet is sad...

ChampIDC6282d ago

Well said Montrealien. People put way too much weight on reviews and refuse to make their own decisions on a game.

Remember kids, just because you like something doesn't mean everyone has to.

ChampIDC6282d ago (Edited 6282d ago )

7.3 meta = a good score to try a rental first. Too many people make their decisions on reviews alone. Army of Two was down there, and that was one of my favorite games of last year (thanks to co-op).

Edit: Oops, this was supposed to be a reply to comment 2.

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?

NecrumOddBoy2613d ago (Edited 2613d ago )

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

SamPao2612d ago

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

Youngindy212612d 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.

Duke193704d ago

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

I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3

eyoung253704d ago

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

eyoung253704d ago

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

DarXyde3704d ago

I came here to learn something new and left disappointed.

DarXyde3704d ago

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

WhyWai883704d ago

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

eyoung253704d 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.
