Ninja Gaiden Hurricane Pack Debuts On Xbox Live

Posted by simoniker on from the natural-disasters-a-go-go dept.

RobZ65 writes "The new upgrade to Ninja Gaiden, previously mentioned on Slashdot Games, has just debuted for download via Xbox Live. The pack features improved camera, more bosses, improved AI, a new weapon, and two new costumes. What do you fellow Slashdotters think about addressing customer complaints in downloads? GameSpy has hands-on impressions of the Hurricane Pack from a couple of weeks back, and IGN covers the new Intercept Technique for blocking and countering, if want more info."

    I'd mod you down but I wanted to reply to this. This download is NOT a patch. They are not trying to fix anything because nothing is broken. The camera in NG was a pain in the ass but I beat the game with it. There is a lot more content in this update.

    And its not like PS2 games have been bug free. At least, XBox has a platform that addresses these issues.

    Regardless, its NOT a patch but a content update.

    actually, it's more of a content download than a patch. new enemies, new weapons and new costumes as opposed to new camera system, increased difficulty and increased speed. It's hard to call increased difficulty and speed a patch since they are not addressing user complaints or bugs - I doubt there were many that complained that Ninja Gaiden was too easy. The camera system could be looked at as a patch since so many complained about not being able to control it, but you really can't call it a bug either. get a free 2month subscription to Live and then cancel it.
