Ninja Gaiden - Xbox's Post-KOTOR Killer App?

Posted by simoniker on Tuesday August 19, 2003 @08:35PM from the hash-and-slack-action dept.

Thanks to IGN Xbox for their hands-on feature on Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden, claiming that Star Wars:Knights Of The Old Republic "...has some competition for game of the year" on Xbox. According to the effusive preview, "While the original Devil May Cry made it fun to juggle enemies with your gun and then slice them in half with your sword, Ninja Gaiden one-ups Capcom's classic with a combat system that is more free-flowing and naturalistic than any 3D action game I can remember." The game, a sequel to the classic NES title, is "...tentatively set to ship Holiday 2003."

I'm not sure if this will go over. Let's be honest: Enter the Matrix was supposed to deliver much the same type of "revolutionary gameplay." All it did was deliver less than 13 hours of mediocre, buggy gameplay.
I'll wait until the hype has passed and actual, extensive hands-on reviews have been made.
