I never played in another language, so for all I know, the Japanese voice actors had likely done a great job. The voice work for the English actors almost sounded as if they’d really didn’t want to be there. The characters in the story didn’t seem all that interesting. This made navigating the game’s platforming-based locations very difficult. It’s as if you were running while holding a kite in your hand. Every time you move kurenai around, the camera follows her in a very jerky sort of movement. If the inverted camera was not enough, it was the way it had moved as well. The game did not allow for you to make this change in your controls. In this case, the camera was inverted horizontally, meaning that I had to get used to moving the camera in a completely different direction than I was used to. whenever I move a camera around in the game I usually move the thumbstick in the direction that I want the camera to move. The worst aspect of the game was likely the broken camera, for starters. I wish I could say the same for the rest of the game, but sadly, there were things that made this game a hard pill to swallow. It may have been a bit over the top, but it was fun. You can even run them through and watch their torso fly off their legs. If you’re really good with the weapon, you could dismember your opponents or decapitate them. The ways you could brutally attack your enemies with this wire…. This is the item which made me had good feeling about the game. The tetsugen is a really awesome weapon and tool. I will admit, there were a few fun moments in this game, which is partly the reason why I had to continue to play it until I had eventually beaten it. She also uses her, um… assets… to distract her enemies into fatal traps. You played as Kurenai, a scantily-clad ninja wielding a razor sharp wire which she uses to cut down her foes. The first thing that set this game apart from the other ninja games was the protagonist. Anyone who is familiar with the Tenchu series would see a similar premise: stealth action ninja game. This game had a lot of potential, but unfortunately was not very well implemented. And so I went to my local Rogers Video (back when rental video stores still existed!), and found a rental copy to play… They had it for the PS2, but I was happy to know that it was also found on the Xbox. I first learned about the game from a friend, more than 10 years ago. (Note: Spoilers ahead, but considering the game has been out for years, it may not matter at this point) If a game has failed to provide any entertainment, then the game has failed overall. As much as I like video games and all the fun that comes with that, we do need to remember that not all games are fun. I want to do something different for once, and talk about one of the games that I did not like. It may well be the very first game where I would be writing a bad review. Red Ninja: End of Honor is one of those games that made me feel a little bit disappointed at the end of it all. It also makes me remember not just the good games, but also the bad games that were out there as well. The more I think about it, the more I realize how many games are on that system. It’s been a long time since I’ve played my old Xbox.
