Ninja Gaiden Black fulfills the last bits of untapped potential in what already was a truly extraordinary game and an instant classic. Though the underlying gameplay is mostly unchanged, by presenting so many more modes and options, Ninja Gaiden Black unleashes the absolute best this gameplay has to offer. With the launch of the Xbox 360 now just weeks away, you have to wonder exactly how the next generation of games could possibly improve on something like this.

Must buy.

Does Black only have hard difficulties or does it just add additional difficulties but you could still play it on normal or... whatever the level below normal is?

Yes I am a Ninja Gaiden wuss... damn game....

 

[Pimpbaa]

I wonder what Gaming Age will give it, a C+?

Hopefully someone that isn't insane will review it.

I got an Xbox for the original NG, now I guess I have to buy another XB or find a replacement DVD drive for my xbox to play this.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

oh joyous game masters. I just got a chilling, female robotic call telling me my Ninja Gaiden will be available tomorrow.

Same here, it's bullshit my dvd drive died. I think it was because my sister was constantly watching dvd movies on it.

Only one thing bothers me about this game.

It will likely continue Team Ninja's retarded policy of No Memory Card transfers.

Which means we won't be able to transfer our progress to the Xbox 360. Lame.

 

[HokieJoe]

Shit, it looks like I have to buy this damn game again to make sure that Itagaki brings NG2 to the 360.

I don't want to, but I feel that it's my mission.

 

[Brannon]

I WON'T LET MY MONSTER DIE!

 

[Demigod Mac]

Actually, will there be ANY method of transferring our saves to the 360? Uh oh.

MS: OOPS!

 

[EGM92]

Haha I just got a call from a girlfriend at EB, IT'S IN STOCK AND I'M GETTING MY COPY TONIGHT AFTER SHE LEAVES WORK EEK!! I can't wait, I haven't played the hurricane packs but the original NG wasn't hard at all, after the steep learning curve that is . Now the hunt begins for a new xbox.

Anyone have any predictions as to what GAF will rate this game? C+ maybe?

 

[Idioteque]

meh, I'm not paying $30 for a few extras.

 

[Reilly]

Isn't this just the same as the original?

are you going to pee in her mouth?

 

[SyNapSe]

Yes, 100%.

 

[EGM92]

are you going to pee in her mouth?

...not exactly pee but something may be going into her mouth she's great though she hates working there but it's a job and it pays money, she's not really motivated to sell anything or try to presuade people to pre-order stuff, and hey she always sets aside stuff she knows I want even when people have pre-orders :lol
