"Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z dose some decent things right like the cel-shaded comic book narrative... and, well thats about it." ~ Alex Martinet, GameRevolution

You will feel like youve stepped right inside of some crazy cyborg ninja infected zombie comic book the entire time and that was very rewarding. On the flip-side Yaiba Ninja Gaiden Z is a throwback and former generation technology at its best youll find yourself wondering if the game is worth the $60 retail price tag when other games out there for that price-tag offer so much more.

World War: Yaiba or AYEYAIAI.

I wanted to enjoy Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z, I really did, but it didn’t let me. For a series that has been M.I.A. since 2008 that was founded on providing killer combat, Yaiba’s gameplay boils down to simplified hack-and-slash gameplay that is unbalanced against the player. The Team NINJA and Keiji Inafune coloration has its high points with the cel-shaded art style, adding a wrinkle of charm that I didn’t expect to work, but it can’t mask all of its design flaws.

You play as a robotic cyborg samurai who is trying to find and kill Ryu Hayabusa during a zombie apocalypse set in Russia. Yaiba doesn’t take any time to set the stage for what’s to come through a mindless prologue that details the protagonist's backstory in less than three minutes. The narrative is used primarily to transition from vista to vista to continue the action. I recommend not taking the story seriously and enjoy the quick-tme vignettes in between the action featuring the cel-shaded artstyle. The storyline plays a lot like comic book with each level unfolding like a new monthly issue with Yaiba spilling gallons of blood with every turn of the page. It sets up the game nicely for the gameplay to take over, which is where the entire product drops the ball on.

Eldon from Denkiphile: "What would happen if you let the middle school version of myself serve as the director for a video game? The end product would probably end up something like Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z where ninjas, robots, and zombies are all thrown into one game, and you cut them all to pieces. Published by Tecmo Koei and developed by Team Ninja/Spark Unlimited/comcept Inc., Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is a spinoff where you play as a ninja named Yaiba, a man out for revenge against Ryu Hayabusa because Ryu Hayabusa killed him. Thats honestly where the similarities between actual Ninja Gaiden games and this end because if you were to remove Ryu Hayabusa from the game, the story would have nothing tying it to the Ninja Gaiden series."

Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z feels really dated. It features many of the beat em up elements from the 90s, but lacks a lot of things that made those games genuinely enjoyable.

Its impossible to think that the legendary equation of ninjas + cyborgs + zombies could equal anything less than awesome. All thats missing is pirates. It goes against everything Ive learned as a self respecting geek since childhood yet Team Ninja drops the ball in a big way on Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.
