2.5/5 ★ – Diluted_Thought's review of Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.

The last game on my list for review on my Xboxx 360, Yaiba. I never was a big fan of Ninja Gaiden games mainly due to their difficulty. Its just not my steeze. But i found this game at game stop for 6.29 (I'm looking right at it) and it came with this original manual and a mini collectors comic. Not bad right? The the look of this game was really what brought me in, it had a sick art style I enjoyed that made it look far different than the other entries. In fact this leaned more into an anime look complete with the big breasted red head. As expected the game was hard, much harder than I anticipated. The enemies were basically punching bags that could take hit after hit and still keep coming. I didn't like that. Most games have you get stronger as you progress but with every new enemy type that showed up I just like I was drowning in difficulty. This game really had a lot of cool shit going for it, if only it was a little more forgiving. I had to abandon it due to not being able to get past a wave of enemy's well into the last quarter of the game. So much hate.
