Ninja Gaiden 3 - Microsoft Xbox 360

I've been playing through the campaign and the combo system really opens up once you unlock some of the later ninpo attacks. The quick-time events during boss fights are brutal but satisfying to nail.

The combat feels incredibly fluid once you get the hang of the dodge and parry system. Having the option to pick my exact condition was a nice touch for an older 360 game.

The action never lets up for a second, and the combat flows so smoothly that I kept replaying missions just to chain together longer combos. It's exactly the kind of intense, bloody challenge I wanted for my 360, and the story mode is meaty enough to sink a whole weekend into.
