This review was not bad but not the best. I think you should have made it longer in a few subjects and make the text a little bit smaller.

I think you are off to a good start, you were almost at 500 words which is pretty good. I agree you could've been more descriptive at parts of your review which will in turn greatly boost your word count in the end, I think you could've said more for the sound and addictiveness areas, there may not be a lot to say, but you can talk about and describe what made it addicting, or what features made the game sound good, etc. 

I will say that you have exceptional organization skills, you at least broke your review down into categories and you went from there with talking about it. All I can say is to keep practicing and reviewing and I can promise you that your reviews will get better with each review, because it takes mastery for this sort of thing. Keep up the great work and keep making more reviews. I look forward to your next one! 

Be prepared to pull your hair out after making it past 6-3. If you die on 6-4 or 6-5, you get sent back to 6-1 as opposed to 6-3 like you normally would. Only good side to it is that if you defeated a boss in 6-4 then you skip directly to the boss after it so if you made it to 6-5 (final level), you skip to 6-5 after 6-3.

I just beat it this weekend by virtue of memorizing all of Act 6 to the point I could clear it in 15 minutes to reach Jaquio efficiently for subsequent attempts. I couldn't beat him with my sword even a little bit, after dozens of tries. I was very upset.

However, it hit me that a tip I received a few weeks ago about a Spin Slash powerup existing on the first map of Act 6-3 had more merit now. I knew the act like the back of my hand, all I had to do was make it back to Jaquio while surviving the rest of 6-3 with that powerup. Took me about an hour to get this done after I had that idea, once I made it to him I killed him within seconds and I woke my wife up by yelling at the TV in excitement at 4am. 

I died to the Demon Statue - which is MUCH easier than Jaquio himself - on my first try, and then I just went and got the spin slash from Act 6-3 again, and repeated the process en route to my most epic win in any video game in more than two decades of playing games. 

If you see Act 6 through to a win, it's gratifying like few other wins you'll ever have. Ask me anything in this post, I'm still so high off this clear, I'm totally up for helping anyone I can experience such a victory . (Also, wouldn't hurt to hear from other people who don't say 'wuts Ninja Gaiden?') 

VideogamemanX : okay you did pretty nice on this review but it could have been a little longer but you did make it past the 400 word mark which is the goal so nicely done

VideogamemanX : A little on the short side this review bit fun non the less great review keep making em

Hey Vizzedians! I rewrote or reposted the review!

Nice review overall but I really think you could have gone into more detail with some of the categories. For example you basically said nothing about the sound, when in fact this game has some of the best music for it's time on the NES.

It also makes me laugh when people complain about the difficulty of a game. Especially an NES game. Some people don't seem to understand that was how they built in replay value to a game back then. They didn't have the memory/ability to make too many platformers that were 60 hours long, so they made them difficult. That was normal for NES games and anyone that grew up with them understood this was the way it was. No one really complained about it.

Anyways, nice job on the review. Keep up the good work.
