Ninja Gaiden Black

Ninja Gaiden is a 2004 action-adventure game developed by Team Ninja and published by Tecmo for the Xbox. A reboot of the Ninja Gaiden franchise, players control Ryu Hayabusa, a master ninja, in his quest to recover a stolen sword and avenge the slaughter of his clan. It is set in the same world as Team Ninja's Dead or Alive fighting games. Tecmo developed Ninja Gaiden for five years, targeting a western audience. The violence created difficulties obtaining content ratings, and it was censored in some regions. Tecmo promoted Ninja Gaiden international online contests using the Xbox Live service.
