Ninja Gaiden Black

Ninja Gaiden, was near perfection. And now, it's even closer. Ninja gaiden black brings a whole new look into this game. Better gameplay, tighter graphic and new extras that will suck you into it's world. Spending countless of hours sitting in front of the tube. (That's not really a good thing, except for you hardcore gamers.) This game has been improved in many countless aspects to maximaze your gameplay.

Gameplay - The gameplay has been improved, but only in small and subtile details. It has it's ways to do this, one way is to slow the gameplay at the right times and show the smoothness and flow of the game. Another is instant commands, like say from jumping right into a three hit combo. Very esily and looks great. And now with the new aspect to speed, you train on even if you've defeated the enemy to help learn their movements and weaknesses. Also, there are weapons of different speeds to change the entire gameplay. It's just one of those games that you'll enjoy to play.

Graphic - Graphic is phenomenal, but then again, you'd expect no less if you own the original version. The graphic continues to stay that way unless changed into cutscenes which is even better. This game has so many little details added like the flames that just looks great to the flow of the water. (Which actually looks like water.)
Little details that catches your eyes and will make you say "Damn, that's nice."

Sound - Sound could've been better, but you'll still hear the correct sounds like horses sromping or metals clashing. It's not too far of the others but still can be improved like, the quality of the blood gushing out or shotguns (that sounds like mahine guns). Still an important role.

Controls - This game'll surprise you Xbox gamers. It has combo function to let you know when and easily does it for you. Movements and basic stuff will be easy to learn and memorize. And even pull off those 67 hit combos easily. The controls will shock and amaze you.

Story - The story was okay, there was a little romance which is pretty weird. could've been better like the sound. Many things will jump in and just confuse you at times, but it's okay, because a game like this doesn't even need a storyline to be great. It is that good.

Replayablity - One of the most important aspect. Can I play it again and still enjoy it? Of course! It has many different levels of hardness to show how good you are, and the higher you go, the crazier the actions gets when you fight gigantic beasts. Also extra costumes and the original ninja gaiden from the arcade is there. This game will keep you playing on and on.

So, what would I give this game? If you just read my first paragraph, you'll know. Five stars.
