Metareview: Ninja Gaiden Black a big hit with critics
The balance between yin and yang, dark and light, heat and cold,
pirate and ninja may have been disturbed by Ninja Gaiden Black (exclusive for the Xbox), which has reaped an impressive Metacritic score of 95. Here's what the critics have to say about it.
1up: 100/100 "While some might suggest that
Ninja Gaiden Black is a premature effort to leech off the success of the original, rarely do reissues come packed
with so much additional firepower."
Cheat Code Central: 85/100 "No one ever said that
being a ninja was easy, but I can tell you for certain that being a ninja has never been this much fun."
Gamespot: 94/100 "Consider just
about everything cool you've ever seen a ninja character do in a video game, in an anime, or in a movie. .... Ryu
probably has all these moves in his repertoire—and then some."
