Ninja Gaiden was sublime. And sublimely difficult, which Black just adds to.

As much as I love the DMC series, I'm still not sure if I can rightfully say they beat Ninja Gaiden Xbox. That one was perfection out of the gate and is still among the peak in the whole modern character action genre to me. I'm actually not sure if I've beaten the Black version myself though. But I did beat the original a few times over, once on Hard, and got pretty far in the XBL online "The Master Ninja Tournament" mode. Sounds like Black has some new difficulty options and Master Ninja is the same as that DLC pack for the original, it replaced a ton of enemies with harder variants and new enemies entirely.
I don't recommend the Sigma PS3 version. The new playable Rachel segments were annoying, it had more loading screens, and screen tearing. It was a pretty lazy port.

It's close. The DMC series is a lot more consistent, though, barring that misstep from DMC2. But NG2 was still excellent, even if I still think the original is where it's at.

Xeogred I've tried to get into Thunder Force 3 and 4 multiple times and I haven't been able to. I haven't completely written them off yet, though. Also, challenge accepted! Make sure to mail me that X-Box along with a copy of the game ASAP.

I own a legit copy of Ninja Gaiden Black on Xbox. I played it one evening, back in 2007, and it kicked my ass. Granted I'm likely better at 3D action-adventure gaming now (I beat DeS!) then I was then. I just don't know if I'm up for that level of commitment right now. Nor do I wish to be a Ninja Dog.

My advice is that, as soon as you possibly can, learn the Izuna Drop. That move will save your bacon.

Noted. On a continual Ninja Gaiden note, I want to recommend this criminally ignored entry: I beat it back in 2008, very much enjoyed the experience.

I still need to pick that back up. I did enjoy what I played of it a while back.
