Due to some poor planning on my part I've ended up with way too much to play. With five games on the table one had to draw the short straw. I typically don't review a game I don't beat, or at least complete the majority of, but Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword is the exception.
Once again you take the role of Ryu Hayabusa, this time around six months after the events in Ninja Gaiden. Just like before your village is under attack and you are the only one capable of saving the day. You hold the DS in its book style with a map on the left screen and Ryu on the right screen. Every button on the DS is block, while every other action is done with the stylus. Drag the stylus to move Ryu, and slash across your enemies to swing your sword, or tap them to throw shuriken. These controls work great for a Ninja Gaiden game on a portable system, but this causes it to be a little easier than most Ninja Gaiden games.
Ninja Gaiden DS is a wonderful portable action title, and should be a welcome addition to any DS owners collection, not just Ninja Gaiden fans.
