best ninja game ever!

I love this game! I have never played a more action packed game on the XBOX.

The acting is very good. I can't actually believe these are the same people who made Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball. The only way I can tell is because of the amazing graphics.

The voice acting very good, from the little bit they talk, and the enemies are very smart. Enemies even know when you block, so they know how to break through your block.

This is definitely one of the best games for XBOX for these reasons.

A very strong 10/10 on my review.
