WHA?!?!!
Nightshade fucking OWNED! It was MUCH better than Shinobi.
The best Shinobi is by far Shadow Dancer.
Gives me an idea for some new polls...
:thumbs-up:
I love mountaindud.
Different concepts, Ninja Gaiden is an action game, and has fantasy characters, enemies, locations, etc. While Tenchu is more of a stealth game, with -mostly- realistic items, weapons, enemies and techniques.
It really depends on what you are looking for.
As a realistic ninja game, Tenchu is best.
As an action game, Ninja Gaiden is best.
I have very mixed feelings about Ninja Gaiden. On the one hand, it's nearly everything I've ever wanted from an action game. (I won't repeat its good qualities here, because you can find someone talking about those anywhere.) I've beaten the game five times so far; twice on normal, twice on hard, and once on very hard.
However, the plot just disappoints me to no end. I felt stupider after it was all over. The characters seem as though they were aimed at 12 year olds. Ryu just bored me to tears. The only character that appealed to me was Gamov, even if his character was hardly original, he interested me much more than any of the others. I'm starting to ramble, but the point is that I hate the plot. Robert Hamburger could write a better script.
The plot is really why I don't love Ninja Gaiden. Everything else about it is perfect and lovely, but the plot just prevents me from getting into it. Oh well.
I actually haven't played Shinobi on PS2 or Nightshade, but they're both games that I really want to get. I've heard mixed things about them both. Especially about their difficulty levels. But I'm pretty forgiving with hard games. I suspect I'll like them, or at least Nightshade. Because a female ninja is the hottest thing ever.
Now for my shocking announcement: I enjoyed Otogi much more than Ninja Gaiden. The art design and music are simply stunning. It's like something from my craziest dream/nightmare, only hundreds of times more awesome. And I really love destroying everything. :smash
Plus, Raikoh is cool beyond words. I mean, my God. Hayabusa would stand no chance against him. :flamethrower:

Well, I tend to group Raikoh with other ninjas. He was originally part of a clan of mystical warriors, and, to me, clan + warriors + Japan = ninja.
He certainly isn't wearing a "traditional" ninja outfit, but such a costume was not a universally used as story-tellers suggest. Besides, when you take into account the fact that people are no where to be seen in the world of Otogi, stealth isn't very critical.
I always thought a crossover Ninja game could be incredibly cool. Easy to screw-up, I suppose, but it has potential (in my mind). Man, I love ninjas.

Whoa.
*respects more* That's what I hear! And it's already on the top of my wishlist.
I hope Red Ninja turns out well. The graphics don't look amazing, but multi-platform games rarely do. Luckily, the gameplay and the story seem interesting, and those are what really matter to me. And as RolfWrenWalsh points out, kunoichis do own.
