Recommend me a good samurai/ninja game

[Sharktongue]

bored, and i am finishing up musashi, by eiji something or other. last good game i played was tenchi, and total war:shogun. but i cant find either of them in stores. Does anyone know of a good ninja/samurai type action game or something? i am mad interested in whipping out something to play? Figured i would ask here. No fighting games, just recommend good action type game! :lovin:

[AgantK7]

Ninja Gaiden. Xbox.
That game will fuck your shit up.
-K7

[Vy Low]

Onimusha

[Gasaraki]

Onimusha 3 specifically, good game.

[1]

Shinobi - PS2

And I also recommend Ninja Gaiden Black especially if you're looking for a challenging game.

[Disciple of Ryu]

I don't know about Shinboi for the PS2...granted I didn't play much of it.

[SFFanatic]

Ninja Gaiden. Xbox.

Better yet, get Ninja Gaiden Black. Greatest ninja game of all-time, and simply one of the best games of all-time.

[X-Death]

Way of the Samurai (PS2) - Deep combat system, multiplayer, levelling up tons of weapons.

[SRKev]

Ya'll need to dig deeper.

Bushido Blade 1 & 2!

Hell, the entire Onimusha series, including Dawn of Sorrows. Elite game series. And yea, if you're gonna play Gaiden, get Black (if you own a 360), or Sigma when it drops (if you own a PS3).

Blood Will Tell (PS2)
Nightshade/Kunoichi (PS2)
Tenchu Series

[FallingEdge]

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins

Has anyone played the PS2 version of Tenchu? How was that game?

You mean Wrath of Heaven? Yeah, it had great controls and music.

Genji was another.

Cool. I always wanted to play/get that game but was always skeptical. Well, time to find me a copy. Should be dirt cheap now.

Tenchu: Wrath Of Heaven (best ninja simulation game period......imo)

Better than Tenchu 1 and 2 because of the numerous ninja special abilities you can unlock.....:karate:

I just bought the game, literally, because of your post. I'm putting my total trust in your opinion, good sir. Dont fail me now!

Proof.

[NG1313]

Kenseiden on the Master System was a great samurai game. The Ninja was another cool game.

[Biolink]

Shinobi if you are looking for a tough ninja game.You either hate or love it.I loved it.

[Capn Spanky]

Ninja Gaiden Black for Xbox users. (Not THAT hard guys... not until Very Hard mode at least...) and Genji for PS2 users. Genji is really short though. Tenchu is sick, but imo its splinter cell with ninjas and splinter cell does it WAYYYYYY better.
Onimusha is really good as well. Personally, I like Onimusha One more than two, but two was pretty good. The entire Onimusha series plays like a slowed down version of Devil May Cry (not ninjas, but still AWESOME sword and gun combat... well, at least number 3 was.) Ultimately its up to you though.

Maybe NGB isn't that hard for you - but master ninja mode kicked my ass.

Also, Dante may not be a ninja nor samurai, but he's as badass as either so I'd recommend Devil May Cry 3 for another good action game.

I said it didnt get hard until very hard. Master Ninja is omfg insane.

QFT, one of my favorite games ever. The second one is good too, but the first is just awesome.

[Ragetowersrage]

Samurai Western. Basic Hack n Slash game. Pretty fun. Mindless violence

[ChibiT89]

Naruto: uzamaki chronicles.

j/k, it really sucks.

[Impact Hound]

PS2 Tenchu was pretty awesome. I particularly liked the co-op missions, versus mode is only for messing around. The combat system is too broken for cheesing people to death. What was up with the generic monk character having a hurricane kick and projectile though? lol

Proof.

Tenchu 1 was great.. Wrath of Heaven took that and gave it better controls.

just wait til you unlock the B-Sides (and Tesshu's sexuality).

"Show me your invention!"

[Septimus Prime]

The great thing about Shinobi is that is has infinite replay value on just one boss.

[Sharktongue]

damn thanks for the suggestions, i will get tenchu wrath of heaven? and way of samurai, those seem good. I beat ninja gaiden, i liked it but it wasn't enough ninja vs ninja for me. To modern :) . Thanks for the suggestions fellas, any more?

[Demon Dash]

Tenchu's over rated...

[Shade]

Tenchu's popular...

Fixed.

[Septimus Prime]

Tenchu's garbage...
Fixed better.

[EVARGNUG]

Tenchu is ok. Some of the later stages, IMO, give off an almost Silent Hill creepiness that I didn't really expect.

Shinobi and its semi-sequel NightShade are pretty great IMO.

I Loved NightShade, some of the stages in that one were crazy :smile:

[Lebowsk1]

Old arcade game called Samurai Nihon-Ichi.

Yeah, that's one thing I would have liked to have more of in NINJA Gaiden: ninjas. Still a kickass game though

[Sharktongue]

gamestop didn't have night shade, so picked up tenchu, and way of the samurai. not impressed by way of the samurai to much, the english voices is killing me, and i havent seen an optin for jap voices . i dont mind american vboices, just not done so badly, the combat is cool though. tenchu is nice. its getting spins in the psx2 now. gonna hunt down nightshade.

You really should think about a gamefly subscription. Its the netflix of videogames, i've used it many times in the past. They have nearly EVERY game, old & new(no imports though).
