Ninja Gaiden Xbox question

[SirChadwick]

I am wanting to purchase this game and have read great reviews. I read that it is Xbox Live compatible, but can you play it on Live yet?

All xbox live is for is for scores at this point.

There's a competition mode but I think it's just an online scoreboard. I don't think it's multiplayer.

This is by far one of the most fun and challenging games I've gotten for any system, ever.

If you don't buy it, you're an idiot.

If you don't buy it just because it doesn't have Live support, you're a codependent idiot.

Buy the goddamn game.

After all I've heard about this game, I may have to rent it and a Xbox just to try it out.

Ninja Gaiden owned so much on the NES, it'd be a shame if it should be bad on the XBox...sorta like Zelda - great game no matter the system power

Game is awesome! Many say its pretty hard, I thought it was pretty high on the difficult end, but I beat it with no problem.

Graphics are gorgeous. Gameplay is amazing.

Nothing but praise for this game. Plus NG1, NG2, and NG3 as unlockables? Even though its difficult to unlock them, Who can say no? 🙂

Great Game. The complaints are about the camera and the level of difficulty but its just as hard as it ever was and the camera is to merely present a realistic view where you are vulnerable around corners and such. Although it ruins it by not being able to see directly in front of you. 🙂

I'm selling the one I have because my box coulnd't even play it, kept thinking the disc was damaged. If you're interested, gimme a pm.

I'm waiting for my copy from EB still, I was looking at some screen shots and it looks a little like shinobi from PS2.

Well, I'm not REALLY missing out. I basically moved into a friend's apartment for a week and we both played, on and off until we beat the game. I was thinking of spending another 50 bucks and upgrading my dvd drive, but I don't think the game was worth a 100 and another hour or so of my time upgrading the hardware.
