What was getting to me was the camera and the platforming. (Mainly the camera)

It's weird because when I had the game the last time (before my brother sold his Xbox) I didn't have any issues with the camera at all. (Or at least I don't recall having any problems with the camera.) But now I was having all sorts of issues with the thing, especially during boss fights.

Besides the camera, I don't like that once you beat the game, nothing carries over if you want to start a new game outside of them Scarabs. And I'm not even sure if those carry over.

Other than that everything else was nice and crisp.

Probably playing games with a decent camera and then going back to Ninja Gaiden's horrible camera might be the reason. Play plenty of games where one feature is good and then going to one where that same feature is not so great makes it all the more noticeable.

Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black are extremely satisfying games, but the camera and platforming are indeed awful. I think Ninja Gaiden Sigma fixed the camera problems; I'm not sure since I haven't played my copy of it yet.

I'm playing some 360 games off and on. Like Marvel Ultimate Alliance: Gold Edition, Overlord, Bioshock, and Tenchu Z.
