    The game is fun and engaging. It what to except from Tecmo Koei games. All they want to do is make games that are fun and engaging. This is only for Ninja Gaiden fans. If you are not a fan of Ninja Gaiden games or Temco Koei games, then of course you are going to give it a low score. Look at all the gameplay video of Temco Koei games and you will have a better understanding. I give thisThe game is fun and engaging. It what to except from Tecmo Koei games.

    There are few times where Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z manages to induce positive emotions to the player. Perhaps only in the initial stages, when you do not know what you are going to face, the relatively good cel-shaded graphics or the sometimes nicely done humor. Only for hack 'n' slash fans that check frequently the bargain bin.

    With the amount of great action games on the market there is simply no reason that you should give Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z a try. It is a shoddily made, awful mess.

    Yaiba is weird. It’s dumb, insanely frustrating and to be honest, kind of insulting. However, regrettably, it’s also a bit fun.
