Don’t let the difficulty scare you off this master piece!

User Rating: 10 | Ninja Gaiden Black XBOX
What can I say... Ninja Gaiden turned out to be just what I imagined. You are a bad ass ninja whose clan was slaughtered, and now its time for them to pay. Your enemies will range from ninjas, gun wielding soldiers, and weird demonic creatures and massive bosses who are very smart and are capable of killing you faster than any other game I can think of. However this game is known to upset people with the camera system. So before you learn the impressive move set of Ryu Hayabusa you must get comfortable with the camera. In my opinion the camera was perfect. It gives the player complete freedom because you can quickly flick the camera behind you at all times.

But if all the negative talk about the camera makes you doubt this game then I highly recommend that you rent this. But if you are doubtful in regards to its reputation for difficulty then don’t worry as the game has four different settings. Also this is one of those rare games that make learning new skills fun. For example in my first run I died at the second boss over twenty times yet it was never a frustrating experience. Strangely it’s one of the enjoyable aspects because with each encounter my controls over hayabusa became better and eventually I was good enough to defeat the boss. It’s that sort of satisfaction that drives the player through Ryu’s quest and it is certainly a must have for Xbox owners for that reason alone.

So in conclusion this is a game that rewards the players’ skill. And it’s a game that makes gaining those skills fun. So if you are bored of the difficulties available in today’s games then I highly recommend this. Enjoy!
