Ninja Gaiden...hard as hell... Ninja Gaiden Black...fun as hell...
User Rating: 9.5 | Ninja Gaiden Black XBOX
Alright, Ninja Gaiden was probably the most fun I have had in videogaming (also the most frustrating I might add) up to this point in time. I considered myself a pretty good gamer after beating it. I always wanted to play it through again but the extreme difficulty (at times) prevented me from doing so. And then Ninja Gaiden Black comes along with a slightly less difficult mode. Hooray!!!! Plus numerous unlockable missions? I tore this game up in the new difficulty mode. You want health potions? I couldn't possibly carry them all...I loved it. Having beat the original game, I welcomed the opportunity to beat it again. Now don't get me wrong, even on the easiest difficulty, new-comers will cower at the challenges presented here. But seasoned Ninjas will love to stroll down this awesome road again and again. Next to Resident Evil 4 (Which is in my top 10 of all time) Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black reign supreme. If you haven't played it or attempted to play it, you need to ask yourself...why do I own an X-Box???
