Summary: Ninja Gaiden
Comment: This game is very interesting and challenging game. It makes you want to investigate and search for all you need to overcome and find what you need to be victorious. Is exciting and the different scenes can be a challenge to discover the path to the end of the journey.I can just immerse myself in the world of the ninja as I play. In all the game is fun to play.

Summary: gameplay? amazing. difficulty? err....
Comment: this will just be echoing what many others are saying, but i'll put in my 2 cents. i didn't know what to expect from ninja gaiden because usually i play FPS's. i wasn't very impressed with devil may cry 3 (probably the closest equivalent to this game). as it turns out, ninja gaiden is an outstanding game in almost every way. the graphics look terrific even though it's a bit "old" by now. people fawn over the graphics of games like gears of war.. give me a break, this game looks way better than that. the controls feel very tight (another thing people don't think about in games). the weapons and special moves are awesome, the game features a plot and stores similar to resident evil 4, which is great. most importantly IT'S JUST FUN. and that's more than i can say for most games.
the thing that brings this game down is the difficulty. i read an interview with the maker of ninja gaiden, and he says he likes games that are hard and it should feel like an accomplishment, yada yada.. that's great in theory and all, except i'm not playing games to brag to other people about what a great gamer i am. i'm playing them to have fun, and it's not fun to lose over and over again. i definitely agree most games are too easy now, and i'd much rather play a game like this than a game that's hard for bad reasons like poor game design or bugs. however, there's something to be said for balance. why not have an easy game mode for gamers like me who don't want to suffer? would that really be so bad? at least you can save your game, which helps..
the other flaw i found in the game is nowhere in the manual or game did it say which buttons to press to use the ninpo powers. these powers are vital precisely because the game is so difficult. i searched everywhere and could not find how to use them. thank God i finally found out which buttons to use on the internet. that's an annoying flaw. so that's about it. ninja gaiden is a great game, but you better have the patience to keep trying to win battles...

Summary: Great but Ninja Gaiden Black better.
Comment: I purchased this game after purchasing ninja gaiden black only because it has an old NES game that I wanted to check out.
The first thing I want to mention about this game and the black version is that black has more enemies.
2. It has an easy setting for those who cant hack it.
3. The camera angles have been much improved over this version.
3. It has 50 side missions.
4. It has been much improved indeed. So if your looking to to purchase this game maybe you should reconsider and get black.
besides that this is one of best games on any system (including the 36o, and ps3)
Customer Rating:
Summary: Quite simply the best...
Comment: Yes it has a learning curve, but there is no better action game for Xbox. Period.
The game forces you to master the controls before you pass the first level, but once that happens, look out. Nothing is smoother, faster, looks better, or is more fun.
