Manufacturer's Description
Tokyo Under Siege. A Modern-Day Ninja for a 21st Century Enemy. A parasite has mysteriously appeared, unleashing a wave of destruction – mutating humans into vicious, savage creatures. The disease has reached the shores of Japan and into the heart of Tokyo. As modern-day ninja Ken Ogawa, swing, fly, and slice your way into extreme action to save humankind from obliteration.
Overview:
Step into the dark and mysterious world of Ninja Blade, where gamers will be given the epic task to defend Tokyo and ultimately humanity itself from a horrific, genetically mutating disease.
High atop the towering skyscrapers of modern-day Tokyo, Ken Ogawa and his team of skilled ninjas are deployed to destroy the infected monster horde and stem the spreading disease as humanity hangs in the balance. Matters quickly take a turn for the worse as Ken and his team are betrayed from within their own ranks.

Fun:
Ninja Blade ain't great. Not by a long stretch of the imagination. It is, however, pretty damn fun.
It's hard to get excited about this game to be honest. I don't think I've ever played a game that so competently gave me a good, fun experience whilst at the same time remaining ultimately forgettable. Even now, just a few short days after completing it, I find it hard to remember much about what went on in the game. I know the story was silly in a knowing it was silly way, the gameplay was good whilst not being inventive and the boss battles were fun with a good sense of scale. There are a lot of quick time events (hitting buttons when they flash up on screen) and although generally I'm not a fan of these I somehow wasn't bothered by them here. You mess up and the scene rewinds a few seconds and gives you another go at it. A great idea more games of this type should try out.
For those of you looking for a challenge you probably won't find one here and honestly I would recommend that you not look for one. Just start the game on Normal mode sit back and enjoy some good old fashioned hack and slashing. This ain't God of War or Devil May Cry, but it doesnt need to be. This is a game you should buy for a tenner, play through once, have a great time with and then forget about and move on.
Try it, it's cheap!

Fun:
This game borrows elements from God of War, Ninja Gaiden and Prince of Persia. Despite the extreme lack of originality, I still found it a lot of fun to play. The combat is satisfying and the often criticised QTEs added to the game for me, especially as if you make a mistake the game rewinds a couple of steps and you can try again. It avoids the frustration while keeping some level of interaction, and I'd rather have that than a basic cut scene (in a game of this type at least).
I don't think there's a huge level of replay value, but if you enjoyed games such as GOW and Ninja Gaiden, perhaps give it a try. It's not as good as either of those games, but if you're a fan of the genre it's worth a look. I was stuck between giving it 3 or 4 stars. I think it falls somewhere between the two, but closer to 4 than 3.

Basically this game is; Take God of War's Q.T.E.s and get rid of everything else.
It's just quick-time event over and over again and therefore is no fun.
