OWR: Ninja Gaiden

Welcome to One Word Review, GamerNode's unique take on videogame critique. Every Sunday, we will present a single game, reviewed with but a single word from each of a handful of reviewers. You may not always find our words in your standard dictionary, but we have faith that you will catch our meaning, nonetheless. Videogames are so often rated, reviewed, and discussed to exhaustion, so while some may call OWR a creative way to be lazy, we call it succinct, sincere...and fun. We love reader input at GN, so be sure to throw your own OWRs in the comments section, too.

With Ninja Gaiden 2 right around the corner (Tuesday!), the GamerNode staff will be revisiting Ryu Hayabusa's first 3-D action trip for this week's OWR. Ninja Gaiden was released to tremendous critical acclaim back in 2004, to the tune of a 92% average review score across all media outlets. Adjectives such as "flawless," "outstanding," "miraculous," and "dazzling" have been used by others to describe the game, but what do we say?

Brendon's OWR: "Decapitacular"

Eddie's OWR: "Floetic"

Demetri's OWR: "Skillerific"

Chris A's OWR: "Controllersmasher"

John M's OWR: "Impossible"
