Ninja Gaiden's standard game mode, Story Mode, follows the pacing of the typical action-adventure game, where the protagonist starts off weak at the beginning of the story and can be built up to have a larger life bar, more powerful weapons and magical ability through items or purchases, by the end of it. Except for a few situations dictated by the story, Ryu is unrestrained in his exploration, running through the streets, jumping and running up and along walls, and swinging from pole to pole. The player controls Ryu Hayabusa, guiding him in a third-person view, fighting foes and exploring the environment of the 3D world. Earth Dragon Statues scattered in the regions serve as save points. Enemy encounters populate these points and along the paths.
The connections between new regions in each chapter are mostly linear paths going through points of interest. The city of Tairon functions as a hub world, a central connection linking other areas to each other. Although the game world is loaded in stages, the load times are generally negligible. The game takes place within a single game world in which most of its game locations are connected in a continuous manner. The game mechanics of Ninja Gaiden have gradually evolved through downloadable contents and two re-releases, Hurricane Packs 1 and 2, Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox in 2005, Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PlayStation 3 in 2007 and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus. The qualifiers played over Xbox Live established record-breaking participation, and culminated in the finalists having their showdown at the Tokyo Game Show 2004. Microsoft held an online tournament for it shortly after its release. Taking place in Japan and the fictional country of Vigoor, the game follows the ninja, Ryu Hayabusa as he fights hordes of enemies in a variety of environments to retrieve the stolen Dark Dragon Blade. Ninja Gaiden marked the first foray into the third-person, three-dimensional action-adventure market for the Ninja Gaiden series. It has received much critical acclaim, with several publications proclaiming it one of the best and most difficult video games ever made. Team Ninja developed the game for five years before Tecmo released it in 2004. Ninja Gaiden is an action-adventure game for the original Xbox video game console.
