Quick look: Mark Of The Ninja (PC/XBLA)




I take a quick look at Mark Of The Ninja (PC/XBLA), the game developed by Klei Entertainment (Shank & Shank 2). It's a side-scrolling stealth game that emphasizes on blending with the shadows and carefully planning your attacks. The game received tons of critical praise when it was released on XBL Arcade as part of the Summer Of Arcade offerings. It finally hit PC through Steam on October 16th 2012 so I got my hands on a review copy to check it out.

UPDATE: Review is live here: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=381220

The Quick Look name for game reviews is being used by Giant Bomb, I suggest you look for a different name (like TotalBiscuit has "WTF is...?"). I know it's a pretty generic title, but for exposure I think having your own name would be good.

This game looks really good, I wish I didn't have a huge backlog and no time to play.

Oh yeah, didn't think of that. Hmm, any suggestions? How does Quick Impressions sound?

I would suggest Quick Peek instead of Quick Impressions(if it's not already taken, idk), it sounds better than impressions.

Edit: wow, 20+ minutes....... not usually something called quick.....lol

If I were you I would try to make the review a bit more compact. Prepare your story so you dont have the talks where you (understandably) start drifting off because you are busy performing a certain action in game.

This isn't really a review, its more of showing off my first impressions with the game. I don't like doing video reviews because words are simply better at describing stuff. My actual review is one that I'm writing next week.

i bought it today after seeing total biscuits "WTF is..." and i highly recommend it. its really good and pretty cheap on steam
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

I'm nearly done with it right now, and I gotta say, it's pretty damn fantastic.

I have to agree. Bought it off the steam sale and mang, I just love everything about this game. I have a long ways to go yet + Show Spoiler +
I just torched a building to clear out the building I really want to sneak into
but the atmosphere, tight controls and the way I'm allowed to figure out my own way (based on what tools I have at my disposal) coupled with the 3 challenges each map has, makes it really interesting to me.

I understand why they wanted to put in variance by adding some missions where you have to "follow that guy" or "do this before that" but what I enjoy most about the game is sitting in a vent for 5 mins, mapping the guard movements and planning my strike. I don't want to be rushed by game mechanics that force my hand. Still, I'm not saying those elements are bad, just not as good as the rest.

Also, challenge rooms for scrolls are a blast!

It's an amazing game, the only downside being its length.
