[quote name='mr_bungle']It's not worth it, even for $20. I got it for $30 not even a month after its release on eBay. You'd be so much better off buying Ninja Gaiden 2 while it's ~$8 at the Power Saver Sale, it's SO much better and imo one of my top 5 xbox 360 games.[/QUOTE]
I appreciated the game that was Ninja Gaiden II but all the cheap kills lead me right up to the last boss and the tower-escalation sequence and I stopped playing. It was an exercise in futile frustration and, after a while, I realized I'm not skilled enough to finish the game. I now understand the hate levied at NGII.
Will try to finish again someday during a down games season.
As far as Ninja Blade, I see that Amazon's used prices are much more appealing and will probably pick up this game before the year is out. I enjoyed the demo b/c it seemed like a more balanced NGII.
