Ninja Gaiden Black

[Depu Techiikue]

Anyone have this? I just started playing it yesterday, and I love it as much as I loved the original, if not more. It has pretty much the same elements as the first game, but more weapons and more ninpo, easier difficulties and harder difficulties, a new mission mode, and so much more. It's definitely worth the $30 they're charging for it.

Both IGN.com and GameSpot.com gave it a 9.4 out of 10, which also helped influence me to buy it. :P

So who else has it? Who wants it? Who has played it? Anyone who didn't like it? etc...

It sounds really familiar but I can't remember it.

This game has some of the best graphics I've ever seen.

I know this is a LATE response as hell but, I did play the first Ninja Gaiden xD Its a BRILLIANT GAME, really great action, and nice old school-ish puzzles. The bosses are as hard as hell though (ALMA!!! ><)
But I dont know if I should get Ninja gaiden black, I mean, is it really worth it if I have the original already? o-o

Kind of like Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 O.o

But, anyways, I don't have Black, but I have the Original.. And I don't see what people find so hard on Alma, I beat her on my first try =/

I must say, it is a very hard game though, most of the people that have purchased the game could not beat it because of it's difficulty.

If you have beaten the Original (I don't know about the new version) Feel proud of yourself, you have done what a lot of people can not.

I myself beat the game, and then tried it on the hardest difficulty... You know the part before the Boss battle with the Samurai? The horse part? Yeah, that's like utterly impossible on the hardest difficulty... When they hit you, half of your life is gone, and there are twice as much of them as in the normaly difficulty...

This game is an awesome game though, I loved it.

Difficulty is fun, as long as it's not impossible. xP
