In a nutshell:
Amongst all the games that were actually playable on the PS3 at the recent E3 event in Los Angeles this was the most impressive, both in terms of gameplay and graphics. Not only that but it’s a completely original game, not a sequel or a remake. The lowdown:
Already nicknamed by some as Goddess of War, due to its apparent similarities to PS2 game God of War, the storyline of the game is unclear but it features a typically attractive and super skilled martial arts heroine as she knocks seven bells out of a stream of ninja like bad guys. The various moves look stunning, in particular an eye-watering groin attack aimed at the male enemies (the game features motion capture by Gollum and King Kong actor Andy Serkis). The E3 demo level takes place in a small, and completely destructible, arena but other test footage shows an expansive and impressively realistic looking game world to explore and demolish. Most exciting moment:
Towards the end of the demo the game segues into a QTE (quick time event) sequence where you have to tap the buttons according to icons flashed onscreen, which sees you performing even more outrageous stunts and attacks. Since you ask:
Developers Ninja Theory used to be known as Just Add Monsters, under which name they made comedy beat aem-up Kung Fu Chaos for the Xbox. The bottom line:
The best looking, and playing, game so far on the PS3.

 Fantastic game, ignore any negative press! December 3, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I don't normally bother with reviews, but seeing this game get some poor reports has inspired me to write this.
This is probably the most enjoyable game I can remember playing. Bioshock on the 360 is great in its own way, but it cannot compete with the story here.
Movie like, stunning and great gameplay. Downside is of course its shortness (did all the movie's use up the disc space?) and it's a tad easy until the end guy - but once completed there is a hell mode to play.
I'd put this on par with Gears of War as the best of Next Gen so far. Gears of war kicks this games arse with the multiplayer / online element but for story and a great way to spend 6-8 hours at least - enjoy!
4.5 out of 5.
What PS3 owners were waiting for.... September 18, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have been playing this game almost non stop since my pre-ordered copy arrived.
Its awesome! Like a cross between god of war and onimusha. It matches furious gameplay with beautiful cinematic sequences. The characters are engaging and stunningly rendered and effectively draw you into the plot. Combat seems a little limited at first but as you get the hang of switching styles, combos, counter attacks and superstyle attacks you will be able to turn Nariko into a gracefull killing machine.
choosing a female character was an inspired choice because the grace and beauty of Nariko's combat moves just make their brutality more apparent!!
Sony have their new Heroine. and just as Lara Croft lead the charge of the first playstation, I have the feeling Nariko will do the job nicely. Awesome game, Awesome console.
Very fun and engaging. September 14, 2007

Good Work by the makers.
After the okish reviews i wasnt expecting much but the game turned out great. Its been addicitve all the way through, including the Wii style parts. The enemy Bohan is played Andy Serkis who does a great job as usual. The characters in general are well played out. Nariko the lead charcter is very well done and shows the new standards in the cinematic side of things for a game.
There are alot of epic, beautiful vistas you fight your way through and the game is very well delivered with no backtracking or cheap lengthening of the game. I think the critics kinda missed the point on this one. I have played very few games that are this engaging. Highly recommended!
Best release so far! September 16, 2007

Gorgeous! September 16, 2007

While this game has a linear format and is your basic hack & slash, it is redeemed by awesome graphics, gameplay and some of the best character acting I've seen. The characters, especially the bad guys, are great fun and beautifully rendered. The combo attacks are really well animated and watching about 10 enemies flying up in the air around you is very satisfying. Once you get the hang of it, throwing projectiles and shooting arrows using the PS3 motion sensitive pad is suprisingly enjoyable. The scenery is spectacular and the camera angles are never uncomfortable as they seem in aother games. I now feel my purchase of a PS3 is justified and I will certainly look forward to future releases from developers Ninja Theory.
