The demo for Ninja Blade was released in Japan late last year, but this is our first taste of it here in the States.  The demo introduces you to the main character, Ken Ogawa, who is out to save Tokyo from deadly parasites known as alpha-worms.  Of course, you are the only one who can stop them.  Alright, so you weren’t interested in Ninja Blade for the story anyway, it’s all about the gameplay, but is it any good?

The demo starts you off in a helicopter where your “master” is explaining the task at hand.  In no time, you are free falling from the helicopter dicing up monsters as you fall.  This is where you immediately receive your first taste of the cinematic action sequences.
