Just got my issue of XBox Mag and I have to say the Ninja Gaiden demo is pretty sweet. I have yet to beat the boss man, but there's definite replay value in just plowing through the ninjas!
I made it past the boss man. It was cool to see Ayane
. This is probably one of the few I will buy on release and for anyone who doesn't have an XBox yet I would call this a killer app.
Yeah, but it is HARD... because the demo is the first level of the full game, only you don't have any of the weapons, movies, magic, etc. If I can barely get through the demo, how the hell will I get through the entire game. Nonetheless, I have never been more excited for a game that I've actually played... usually I just make myself all excited for a game I've only read about.
Team Ninja has maintained this from the beginning, so much so they may scare away potential players, er, victims. Still going to be a huge game for the platform.
