Review	Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword (DS)
Staff review by Jason Venter (April 14, 2008) Dragon Sword sports a three-dimensional feel that is one of the game's most striking elements. Ryu ventures through a variety of hauntingly beautiful environments. Team Ninja does here what Capcom did with the Resident Evil games and that Square did with its PlayStation-era Final Fantasy efforts.

Reader review by JANUS2 (August 12, 2008) It seems to me that most DS games can be divided into two categories. There are those that embrace the stylus and those that treat it as a spare part, and there aren’t an awful lot of the former. Stylus functionality tends to be a burden for developers who feel obliged to cater for it but really have no clue how to implement it. It usually ends up serving as an action button, which is hardly an innovation. Having to drag a finger across the screen to pick up a block in Lego Indiana Jones ...
