The is really a great game, but man the difficulty is insane. The boss guys are just too tuff. I am on the third level, and I am getting my ass handed to me by metal boy!. Anybody else gettin owned by this game?

So, if the game is hard, and if YOU beat it already, then this game has a lot in common with my friend Lil' Schizoid here.

Eerie.

Yea, I remember playing Ninja Gaiden I and II all night trying to beat them. I actually ended up beating those two games, hard as hell.
Damn respawning enemies!

Just FYI, as I understand it, Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox includes all three original NES games.

It's a 3rd Person, 3D platformer. The change is similar to the change between super mario 3 and mario64.

Technically it doesn't come out until tomorrow. I ordered mine from EBgames.com with 2nd day air to get it here today. I'm not sure what NorthRiver did.

I know it shipped tuesday. Circuit city had a release date of 3/5. I see it is now 3/3. Cool.

Got mine on Tuesday. On level 8 because I restarted when I got to 7 because I realized I missed some boxes on level 2.

It is my understanding that you will have to back through all of the levels to get other objects. I think it has to do with those stone circles in the levels.
