OXM UK: "I remember the first time I tried to take on a tightly-knit bunch of Black Spider Ninjas. I remember it because they eviscerated me. These days, Dark Souls has cornered the market in player punishment - but in the era of the original Xbox Ninja Gaiden was the king of cruelty. Tecmo's action title might look like DmC or Bayonetta - but in those games the challenge is all about racking up high scores and making spectacular combos last as long as you can. Ninja Gaiden, by contrast, was all about trying to survive."
