    I love Red Ninja! Before I played Red Ninja, I was afraid of becoming tired of my favorite hobby, videogames. I wondered when green elf boys rescuing princesses would grow old. I feared that the amuzement of huge apes and dot-chomping circles would deplete. Then, I played the pile of crap that is Red Ninja. The nauseatingly bad camera angles reminded me that Super Mario Sunshine I love Red Ninja! Before I played Red Ninja, I was afraid of becoming tired of my favorite hobby, videogames. I wondered when green elf boys rescuing princesses would grow old. I feared that the amuzement of huge apes and dot-chomping circles would deplete. Then, I played the pile of crap that is Red Ninja. The nauseatingly bad camera angles reminded me that Super Mario Sunshine wasn't really that bad. Horrible controls were great proof that it could be worse than the ground missions in Star Fox Assault. But, best of all, the game as a whole made every other game seem much more enjoyable. I could now have fun playing Driv3r or even Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2! It improved the entire medium, and thus the loving and appreciative point.… Expand

    Although the graphics are PS1-like, and the overall length too short, I thought the story was great and I liked the option of being stealthy or not. The wire makes for fights with good variety (trip them, lop heads, hang them, wire strafing...). Overall gameplay was too easy but the Boss flights in the later stages 5,6,7 were very challenging until you figured out the tricks.

With all the epic games out like Jade,Kotor2,Doom out now - it's was good to have one that's low pressure and fun. That said, it's not worth the $49, but well worth a purchase when used.… Expand

    The games camera is what killed it for me. Not worth the $50 bucks.

    The game isn't clunky or badly made like games Journalist's say...If you listen to game Journalist's then you should stick to playing Assasins Creed or Call of Duty anyway...The game is however hard on normal in many places and games journos don't like hard.
    I would sugest playing on easy if you are struggling as easy is more like normal anyway and the story, beutiful art design and    The game isn't clunky or badly made like games Journalist's say...If you listen to game Journalist's then you should stick to playing Assasins Creed or Call of Duty anyway...The game is however hard on normal in many places and games journos don't like hard.
    I would sugest playing on easy if you are struggling as easy is more like normal anyway and the story, beutiful art design and vicious combat is worth experiencing. There are characters and story in this game that will stick with you for years. The protagonist herself is miles better and more interesting than any protagonist in modern games with their modern writing.
    This also requires the ability to learn the controls ( like RE4) another thing games media dosent like. Games today all need to control in some fashion like fortnite or COD or it's crap in their eyes..Red Ninja has no option to adjust horizontal camera movement, so if your to basic to be able to compensate and learn something this simple than just watch IGN on what other game you should play.    … Expand

    Would have been in good and awesome game if it wasn't for that awful platforming where you're gonna pull your hair out. The problem with the platformingit's it's not like Prince of Persia or Assassin's creed where have some kind of control and you know exactly what's gonna happen but in disc game it always feels a bit luck based if she's gonna do what you want to do.

    It's like a melted snowman -- something that could've been good, but instead turned out to be a goopy pile of mush.

    Even the most dedicated player's are likely to fall out of love with the game more frequently than its promise of unstoppable motion and a world outside slate-grey corridors (which becomes more distant as the game progresses) can entice them back. [May 2005, p.83]

    Sure, there's oodles of feudal female flesh on display and a competent command system, but too many areas of the game fall flat on their face for it to be anything other than a tragic waste of time.
