Any good...

[Fresh Tendrils]

Ninja/Martial Arts game for Xbox? I've got a hankering to whoop some ***, Samurai style.

Edit: Other than Jade Empire of course.

Re: Any good...

Thanks, Fossen. Do you own or have you played these games and liked them? I started a new Ninja Gaiden save today and am going through the game for the fourth or fifth time since last February, awesome game.

No. No. No.

In that order.



I fully realize the extent of my own aging relfexes, and they are not up to Gaiden, though I have tried the first boss at a friend's house about 20 times.

Kung-Fu Chaos wich should be really cheap now and is 1 of the funnest and funniest games around. They even have Everybody was kung-fu fighting on the soundtrack. If that's not enough it has custom soundtrack too. It's a 3-d side scroller beat 'em up fighting game type thing with interactive enviroments. Not much story it's really just shooting a movie. It has a really cool replay feature that replays the last level like it would be in the completed movie. You even get a review of your preformance out of 5 stars.

I think I-Ninja was put on Xbox but I'm not totally sure. That was ok from the demo I played on PS2.

Recently released Red Ninja wich apprently sucks but I haven't played it.

Samurai Warriors is alright. It's almost the same as Dynasty Warriors but it has these stupid annoying castle stages.

Re: Any good...

Has anybody played Tenchu: Return from Darkness?

That sucks Fossen. NG is really fun, awesome game except it takes a little while to get used to the camera.

Ninja Gaiden is pretty good. I have it on xbox. Good gameplay and great graphics.

Dynasty Warriors IMO is not that great of a game. Gets repetative after a while.

I agree. I had that game for two weeks and it got old pretty quick.

Yeah, I have Ninja Gaiden and just started playing it recently (glad I never traded it in) and am still having fun with the game. I'll probably pick up Jade Empire at the end of the week and was looking for a cheap game to complement JE and Tenchu sounds pretty good.

EDIT: And yes, Dynasty Warriors sounds like it would get pretty boring after while, like a hack n' slash fest, a game for friends/parties or something.

Re: Any good...

I just remembered that I made a thread asking for Samurai games to play a while back. I'll see if I can find it. Maybe it will provide some help to what you are asking for.

EDIT: Nevermind. My thread asked for PS2 samurai games and you are an XBOX owner.

Re: Any good...

Thanks for looking though, Charlie. I've appreciated the suggestions and I just may pick up Jade Empire alone.

Oh, has anybody played DOA: Ultimate?

Re: Any good...

DOA Ultimate is pretty good. If your into that kind of games or your a fan of the DOA series you'll like it. Good graphics and fun to play with friends.

Re: Any good...

Ninja Gaiden is my favorite Xbox game. Get that.

Re: Any good...

I liked DOA Ultimate lots. Not enough to buy it since I played the orginal DOA 2 and DOA 2 Hardcore so much but if you haven't played them or played them much it's probly worth it.

Dynasty Warriors doesn't get boring for quite a while because they all have differnt attacks and combos. I rented DW 5 when it came out and I did get bored after 1 play through but much like DOA after playing 2,3 and 4 so much it's just not as fun. (DW 1 was a compeltly differnt game)
