Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword Review IGN

[diablostorm]

imo this entire review is invalid due to the mispronunciation of Gaiden

[darkninja0200]

stroking and tapping... That sounds so wrong XD

[Nekradude]

one of the best games for ds... well actually i cant remember a better game than this.

[deepfriedpidgey]

/watch?v=OvO2v5Phz5A <-- nah, i prefer this ninja more

[clairemadeinheaven]

does this work on the 3ds

[Klonoahedgehog]

@clairemadeinheaven yup

[DSawesomeness]

@clairemadeinheaven yes 3ds is backwards compatible

[renegade8164]

I don't like that the screen is in portrait mode,.. My DSi XL is heavy to hold like that!..

[redfoxbennaton]

Too bad it had re spawning enemys.

[TOXICHAZE99]

is it? cuz it hasnt been announced as a launch title or in any magazines

[munther555]

oh shit!!

i just rememberd this is comin out on 3ds!!!!!!

im buyin it!!!!!

[MustyMarkus1]

@munther555 If you have a normal ds then why dont you buy it for that one? Or do you just own a 3ds?

[munther555]

@MustyMarkus1 i have it for ds and it realy feels like a ps2 game!

but its also coming out on 3ds, a better and more sophisticated game system.

there not gonna make you hold it sideways, because the screans are different sizes,

and 3d ninja spikes popin out of the screan just sounds cool :)

[MustyMarkus1]

@munther555 Really?! I gotta get 3ds! But first I'll get dragon sword for my latest ds xl!

[munther555]

@MustyMarkus1

the dsi xl is best for 3 games:dragonsword,mario karts and primehunters

those two huge screans ar awsome to show off those games:)

[MustyMarkus1]

@munther555 I'm so getting mario kart and dragon sword!

[Simon0]

its a ninja!  (0:26)

[ZeroEckoes]

Somethin about all the pushable buttons being assigned to block should tell you somethin about this games difficulty

[owlflame]

@ZeroEckoes actually NO it shouldnt

[nowisdasick]

should i get the game?

[DANEGRMAN]

my first gaiden and it was great

[druha10304]

who woulda thought samus would be ryu hyabusa.

[argreetha]

@druha10304 WTF?

[Straiz]

What I got from this review: Everything in the game sucks, but the graphics are pretty EDITORS CHOICE AWARD

[Georgiie69]

This game was okay I guess, but I didn't enjoy it much and it's insanely repetetive. I give it a 6.2/10 but thats just my taste.

[aRrEL02]

how can i rotate it with NO$GBA?

[YouKnowItzTTime81]

@aRrEL02 how do you move lol?

[notsomart]

to bad there is no blood thats what makes a ninja game awsome

[adad87821]

this game has the best graphics on the ds

[fidzimreviews]

its gaiiiii den not gayden why do people say gayden as if they cant read, we asians say gaiden better

[KingGingerbread5O]

@fidzimreviews That's not soo bad...I know a couple of people that pronounce it Gii-Den,with a long ee sound.Like in 'feet'.

[mruppel2]

this game is impressive, really nice graphics and controls. 9/10

[gokuX1]

I love this game, but that fat with the ninja stuff is RIDICULOUS (Not offend)

[oOJakkeOo]

I would so love to see this on PSP and/or iPhone!

[ryumishima44]

@oOJakkeOo Just as I want patapon on DS...... I cant imagine the possibilities

[eventzz]

Great game, I bought it and loved it. But its kinda sad because sales for it weren't too good.

[TheAngelholy]

los juegos de ninja gaiden son bueno TODS¡

pero este no me gusto x el gameplay esos juegos son para jugar con botones ._.

(no escribo ingles muajajajaja)

[Stonecold943]

All the new Ninja Gaiden games are good just except it

[GAMINGxMASTERS]

ye from wht i see it loks really good i orderd one my self coming soon probably monday / tuesday

[HizuPlague]

Why does he keep saying gay-den?

[jdbruiser]

@HizuPlague why does he say re-u? instead of ryu

[MrMidnight17]

@HizuPlague Apparently he doesn't like his own game

[owlflame]

@HizuPlague cause thats how its pronounced

[MustyMarkus1]

@owlflame It's pronounced guyden not gayden! Team Ninja themselves has said that it's pronounced guyden and not gayden!

[AntiGrav82]

@HizuPlague He's probably one of those douche bags that has to be different from others or he simply sucks as a comedian.

[diablostorm]

@HizuPlague Some say...Ninja...Homosexualden

[SWIFTartz]

to me its more than i expected from a ninja gaiden game on ds

[rudorot65]

@SWIFTartz me too its like NG 2 it is hard as fuking hell

[MustyMarkus1]

@rudorot65 Ninja gaiden 2 hard? What's so hard aboute that game?! I've played it on almost every dificulty and I dont find it hard at all!

[rudorot65]

@MustyMarkus1 every enemy coming up behind you when your low on health and there's almost no health herbs anywhere when you are low

[MustyMarkus1]

@rudorot65 Oh... I dont know... still in my opinion it's pretty darn easy...

[gojiiita]

yeah this game was awesome

a nice little touch to the story of ng

i like how you controlled anything and stuff

but you couldnt choose any weapons maybe it wouldnt be so good with the gameplay

yepyep gg

[UnrisenXX]

this game had gorgus grafics for the ds i loved it very good experianse

[spider486]

this game is Awesome

[m4rc0III]

WTF....Craig Harris looks like a terrorist LOL

[dwagothegod]

That what i was thinkin at first when i saw this lol!

[eefbeef09]

mario party ds and this are my favourite ds games

[cubbychambers]

i like the last unlock able difficulty. oh yah (spoiler) you see Ryu's head at the end of the game

[diskjocker121]

why ain't mroe ninja gaidens coming for ds? this one was soo good i already played it out but i want more

please awnser me thank you!

[tehJelly]

Ninja GAIDEN. Say it. GAIDEN.

[teaguild]

talk about it,it sounds like there saying gayden

[namikazenigel]

they are saying Gaiden (Gayden) Metal gear (Raiden) Mortal Kombat Raiden (Rayden) just pronunciation yo...and there isn't a correct one, your choice in the end

[xmods908]

should i get this?i dont have 360 or p23

[dkgmlgjlg]

all depends. can u afford it?? there is ninja gaiden sigma ps3. awesome and ninja gaiden 2 on 360. the 360 version obviously is tha best out of all the ninja gaidens ever. ur choice man. ps. 360 is cool

[xmods908]

i cant get 360 cuz i dont own a 360

[peliparado94]

Its an awesome DS game, if u own a DS u shud get this game regardless

[xmods908]

dude when it came out i tried demo at wal mart so awsome but i bough kfpanda but i found ninja gaiden ds 17.99 used at gamestop a bargain

[manilazking]

YEAH BUT NOW THERE"S NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 FOR PS3 HAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! Play as ayane momiji and rachael

[dkgmlgjlg]

i know it looks tight for real, but one thing i don't have ps3 and another thing, there is very little blood, but i wouldnt chase after that game though,

[manilazking]

Well i just got it a few days ago and it's wwaaayy better than all the other ninja gaidens especially the second one, PLUS i don't even see any difference with the blood, It's blood so what!! It's how the game is played and i've played all the ninja gaidens and The one for 360 wasn't any different that the older ones but newer weapons, This has online co-op which is HAWTt!! And the new playable characters adds more hours to the story. Ayane is kick fkin azz

[dkgmlgjlg]

i bet,,,i can't say much cause i dont have it and i don't plan on getting it anytime soon, but yeahh, if its cool 4 you then yeahh, good for you

[oneupdawg]

ninja gaiden sigma for the ps3 is the most polished of all the ninja gaiden games so far. the ps3 is also getting ninja gaiden sigma 2

[guyanabadboys1]

the world ends with you ninja gaiden dragon sword bleach 1 and 2 and final fantasy 4 are games that are cool in gameplay and graphics and does not displease the ds these are some of my favourite games would you agree

[Juuutuub13]

i have it!!! itsw my favorite game its soooooo goood

[WOOTMIX]

me want!

[ttyzon123]

star wars the clone wars: jedi alliance is better

[ttyzon123]

its funny becuase when i play my ds in the car, i start to fell sick for some reason

[MilesProwerTails]

me too o_O

[bloard]

me three

[oOburntoastOo]

ame here lol. o_O

[wolffInspector]

kickass game

[2007FORLife]

Me 2 i got the demo from Nintendo Channel, this is what you get for buying 2 nintendo consoles xD DEMOS !

[bloard]

Demos ftw! I did that too im gonna buy it

[spitfiremanlizerd]

ur review kinda sucked ign

[jellyleggy]

i played a demo of this and i thought it was almost better than mario kart ds! ( that is saying a hell of a lot)

[imagunnapuke]

is is GAIden or GAEden? (the pronounciation)

[2007FORLife]

ITS GUYDEN Pronounciation

[kyubbics2demon]

i hope AR will come out with hakes for it

[kyubbics2demon]

ok i know there`s AR hakes for it

and

u know what i hate in the ranking in wi-fi every single one of the scores is the same because it`s action replay they use that 2 cheat so if your one of the people that used the action replay to get your score in the rankings for ninja gaiden dragon sword u suck at this game

[acidglow]

neat

[Polak9843]

its not that easy the boss battles r hard and challenging but it will leave u playing 4 hours

[austy108642]

:D thanks for the review ign

[EYEsoFLY]

he's pronouncing it wrong, i cant stand it....

[kbrinks]

This game is perfect. it feels exactly like the xbox counterpart.. his complaints are so weak.. i skeptical about this game but once playing it, it surpasses my expectations.. should be in the low to mid 9 rating

[getsallad]

It's not Ninja GAYden, it's Ninja GUYden :\

[NvPGulstab]

Because Ryu isn't a gay guy. He's just a Ninja Guy.

[GoofyVarietyShow]

there going to make a sequal of this game.

[willdude85]

I don't know if I should pick this up or get Resident Evil DS. I am a huge RE fan and I played REDS before already. I loved it but I don't know what game to get.

[Th3n1ghtmAre89]

i would get this will plus if u reserve it now u get a sweet stylus :) but then ur a huge resident evil fan (so am i) so i really don know but lets look at pros and cons of both games

RE DS:

pros: still a bit scary at time

. the ds additions are nice i guess

cons: if u played the ps1 or gamecube version then wats the point

Ninja gaiden

pros: best graphics so far on a DS game

.A lot of hack and slash action

cons: to short?

[Chrisjouett12]

RES Deadly Silence

the good:Much longer then Ninja gaiden, 2 Diferent scenarios, Nice graphics.

the bad: TERRIBLE VOICE ACTING, Tank controls, aiming can be hard.zombiesdont respawn so action can be cutsdown alot

[willdude85]

I don't know if I should pick this up or get Resident Evil DS. I am a huge RE fan and I played REDS before already. I loved it but I don't know what game to get.

[RilOti]

Want it now! :D

[eastsideboy999]

cool

[MSharingan]

WTF, Ninja Dude! You know, I think Nintendo pay developers extra for making games for the DS. Think about it, all the PS3 & X360 games on the DS ( Assassins Creed, Call of Duty 4, this ).

[aerodynamic41]

IGN Score: 8.6/10

[jesusninjapants]

thanks, damn anoying that he tells us to go to a different web site to get the score
