Ninja Gaiden: Ryu Huyabusha ... my choice of a hero, 20 June 2003
Author: latsblaster from Örebro, Sweden

'Ninja Gaiden'; a true experience for me as a 12 year old boy ... This is a game full of feeling.

You are the young Ryu Huyabusha, one of the greatest heroes ever. I don't think that "Ninja Gaiden" has been made as a film, but I am not sure. It would be a good ninja film, however. If it is, Ryu must be my greatest hero in movie-history. This young man is the master in control. Ryu climbs on walls, jumps, runs fast, hit his target with his sword and runs again. If you have learn to control Ryu, nothing can stop you. This guy isn't one of those who makes mistakes. Ryu is the puppet that never fails you.

"Ninja Gaiden" has for it's time perfect graphics, good sound and great Japanese music. This is really a Japanese game, which just makes the mood even better.

The first 'acts', as it is written in the game, of "Ninja Gaiden" are quite easy. The end is harder but I have proved for myself that it isn't impossible, even if it can takes hour each time you play it which makes the game a bit worse than it could have been. But the end is one of the coolest ever.

"No one can beat me!" - Ryu before the great final battle
