![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/87FOXGT/Picard2.gif](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/87FOXGT/Picard2.gif) WTF, Ive beaten this game probably at least a dozen times already. :bloated: Yet, I keep coming back for more. :eyebrow: I played the shit out of it when I was in Iraq, then I came home, bought Ninja Gaiden Black and started playing again. Then I put it away for a while, and just this past week I started up again. Im trying to beat it on the hardest difficulty and its driving me crazy but I still keep trying ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/87FOXGT/Picard2.gif](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v181/87FOXGT/Picard2.gif) The rate I am going I should stock up on controllers again, this game has a tendency to make controllers suddenly stop working properly :gotme: Anyone else share this addiction? Its funny that im playing a xbox game on my 360 when i have gears of war and r6 ready to go šŸ˜› Oh well, its a great fucking game. :headbang: :nite: P.S. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is coming out for PS3 soon, basically another remake of the game with better HD graphics, and a ton of added stuff over what ninja gaiden black even had. You can play as Rachel in this one, so awesome. ![http://www.ls2.com/forums/images/smilies/ninja.gif](http://www.ls2.com/forums/images/smilies/ninja.gif) ---

Yep, Started playing Ninja Gaiden Black on Very hard last month again. Itā€™s like playing a new game, finding different ways to use the weapons, making new combosā€¦ My big thing now is fighting using the Nunchaku and the Band of Potency (increased damage on throws and kicks). Wow does it work well for the city chapters with all the armored MSAT soldiers :headbang: also started playing the challenges again, cleared three rows, but some of the shit with the tanks and stuff are just REDICULOUSLY HARD. Then those Greater Cat fiend things (red eyes) OMFG :mad: Iā€™m curious to see if they slightly change the story to go from Rachelā€™s point of view for the PS3 (I hope so, Iā€™ll probably pick up a PS3 when this comes out). ---

Sometimes I like to try to get a whole bunch of them to gang up on me in a corner so I can see how many hit combo i can pull off before they get a hit in šŸ˜ƒ Have you ever collected all 50 scarabs? I have, it lets you play all 3 original NES ninja gaiden games on the arcade in Hanā€™s Bar šŸ˜ƒ God I am a huge nerd and I LOVE it. :tspry: ---

Oh but there is NES version Ninja Gaiden in this game šŸ˜‰ Thatā€™s why I need to find all 50 Scarabs šŸ˜ƒ (seriously, that was my major motivation for playing it again.
