Ninja Gaiden Style Game For PS2/GC?

[hifive]

I went to Best Buy today and tried out Ninja Gaiden. I absolutely loved it. It's the greatest game I've played in a LONG time. But the sad the thing is, I don't have an xbox. I only have a PS2 and a Gamecube. So I was wondering, are there any good Ninja Gaiden style games for PS2 and GC? I have Devil May Cry and Onimusha. Are there any others, with more variety and depth?

Thanks.

for me, ninja gaiden has alot of mixed qualities from Onimusha and Devil May Cry. as for those games Onimusa 1 and 2 are out, with part 3 coming in a month or so to the states. DMC 1 and 2 are also out. i recommend both games if you havnt played them

I have the first Devil May Cry and Onimusha. Does the sequel provide more action, depth, etc.? Devil May Cry was excellent, but Onimusha wasn't too great imo. I despised the controls, because it only allowed the use of the D-Pad.

Most of the time the reason that a game is so great is because it's unique - there's nothing else like it. If there were other games like Ninja Gaiden on xbox, let alone ps2 and gc do you really think it would have sold as well as it did?

Well, I wouldn't really say the game is unique. It's pretty much the same idea as Devil May Cry or Onimusha. It's just that it's more fluid, quicker, and is just so much more fun with all the different combinations. I think Devil May Cry or Onimusha could have both been as good if they were executed correctly. For instance, I believe the first Devil May Cry is quite close to Ninja Gaiden. The only difference [imo], is that Dante doesn't have quite the same level of manueaverablity[sp?] as Ninja Gaiden.

Shinobi on the PS2 is a Ninja game, closest on GC is Mario :p

Go get Viewtiful Joe, it's nothing like it, but it is kickass.

Ah, but you are forgetting iNinja. And Metal Gear Solid has a Ninja in it :p

To clarify iNinja is a platformer, it's not like Ninja Gaiden.

though hes not a ninja... prince of persia has its ninja-like moments.

In my opinion there is nothing like Ninja Gaiden for XBox on PS2 or GC. Of course I happen to like Ninja action so trie out PS2 Tenchu (can't recall the exact name).
