Everything the original was but better. In fact, Ninja Gaiden Black proves to be one of the best action titles of this generation.
If it were simply the original Ninja Gaiden with just some mission modes tacked on, it would still be worth full price. But chiming in at around $30 with new missions, new difficulty settings, new cinemas and new costumes to unlock -- on top of the already-awesome, original game -- it's practically a steal. Uncompromising and unabridged, Ninja Gaiden Black shows you how reissues could and should be done.

It is arguably without peer, the ultimate game for the audience open to its madness. [Oct 2005, p.56]
It's also a lot more difficult than its predecessor, so if you didn't feel challenged enough by the prequel, this version promises to bludgeon the hell out of you.
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. Don't wait, get your mitts on this game immediately.
On the technical side of things, Ninja Gaiden Black has a problem that wasn't present in the original release. The game is prone to bouts of slowdown at impromptu moments and these aren't particularly hectic instances either.
Well, 10/10. It was the MOST challenging game of my entire childhood...i don't even have enough words to describe how difficult it was to me, it's not just like "git gud" in Dark Souls, it's way above that level. Tomonobu did something incredible and something horribly insane at the same time. Gosh. But despite the fact that it was terribly hard for me as a 11 year old kid, i really enjoyed this awesome masterpiece!
