Tecmo is the creator of this fine game. Tecmo was a Japanese video game company that was founded in 1967. The company was formerly known as Tehkan and first started off selling cleaning equipments. During 1981, Tekhan released an arcade game titled Pleaids (known as Centuri in America). This game was known as the first arcade game. The company also released games such as World Cup and Bomb Jack. In 1986, they changed their name to what is known today, Tecmo.

   In December, 1988, Tecmo corporation produced an NES game known as Ninja Gaiden. Ninja Gaiden is a platform game. The story of this game starts off with Ryu receiving a letter from his father saying that he will go into a duel with an unknown warrior. When his father did not return from the duel, Ryu went to America and seek a guy named Walter Smith. When he was there, the CIA agents kidnapped him and gave him a statue of a beast. Eventually, Ryu met Walter and he questioned him about why he has a statue. Walter explained that his father had the other statue and when they both joined, an evil demon will awake.

   During the conversation, a guy breaks in and stole the statue. Ryu chased for the statue and retrieves it. When he came back, Walter has been killed and moments later, Ryu is captured again by three armed men. Ryu was taken to a questioned room, where he was addressed by a man named Foster, the director of the CIA. He explained to Ryu that they have been spying the activities of a creature or someone named Jaquio. Foster ordered Ryu to go eliminate the creature in the jungle of Brazil. While he reached the mountains in Brazil, he found Jaquio. Jaquio was killed during the fight, but the demon was awaken. Ryu was able defeat the demon leaving it as an awesome battle. This is the story of Ninja Gaiden.

   Ninja Gaiden is filled with an awesome story, fantastic scenes, epic music, and a challenging atmosphere. The story is awesome because the main player is a ninja going to America and Brazil to kill a demon and leaves with an ending that you will never forget. The story was well thought out.

   Ninja Gaiden was the first video game to have cut scenes. The scenes were memorable and nobody back then had seen anything like it. Throughout the scenes he would normally say "What the.......?!" ,making it attractive to the player. The music is so epic because it follows the rhythm of the story and the cut scenes.

   The game is really challenging. The complication of the game is filled with enemies trying to kill you. This makes it hard for the player to control and to add on to the challenge, once Ryu kills an enemy it responds back and the player would waste its ninjitsu powers. There are so much pits in this game that you would most likely to fall in. A common complaint about this game is when Ryu gets hit by an enemy, he  falls back. This complaint is the same as Castlevania when Simon gets hit, he falls back.

   Ninja Gaiden is one of the best game in the NES library. The designer of the game, Shuichi Sakurazaki, really put so much effort into this game. As it says on the boxart "The Fight of Your Life," it really is a big fight of your entire life.

Nice review there and yup ninja gaiden is ahumdinger of a hard game but it could be worse you could be playing mario fustrartion :p anyway good luck with it all hope you finish it, i found that after a lot of practise the game gets easier its called like a training period but even then its pretty hard so i salute the effort you put in to finish the game

I love this game so much and I can say that I actually have beat this game. I took like 4 hours one day and sat down and owned it. I probably will never play it to win ever again, must own game.

Nice review.

Thank you guys for the positive and appreciative comments of this review. I will be doing more but somewhere around 2-3 months because I have important things to do. It will be out tomorrow or next week. My next review will be a game on the NES and has a mix of adventure and a dash of RPG. Hope you know what it is.
