Anyone played this game? It rocks!

It's basically another Ninja game. It has a great story, set in Japan, and a unique combat system. You have a knife that's attached to the end of a long wire which you throw at enemies to impale them with. Then you can either pull it back out for more damage, or if there's multiple enemies you can leave it in them and run round in circles around the enemies to, well, do lots of damage.

The gore system is extremely violent, you can pretty much take off any limb attached to their body, including feet, with the knife and wire. It;s very OTT though, a knife pulled out of someone couldn't *cut* someone in 2. What I find strange is that the gory scenes in Ninja Gaiden were censored for the European version due to German regulations, but this game is much, MUCH, more gory and none of it was censored.

The only thing that really let's the game down is the English voices. They sound terrible. And they don't even sound Japanese. They all have English accents. And it's disappointing that they'res no Japanese voiceovers. But if you can forgive that, then you will enjoy this game, especially if you've played Ninja Gaiden.

The CG cutscenes aren't as powerful as Ninja Gaiden's, but they're still pretty good. Even though the cherecters in the house scene at the beginning look very much like puppets.

I think it's well worth playing. And I bought it for only £9.99! :)
