Ninja Gaiden Black

In my previous post I mentioned that I will conquer Ninja Gaiden Black. Well, I am pleased to announce that I managed to complete up to Chapter 2. Hey, at least I got past the initial stage.
It took me a while to get used to the game pad. I manage to reach the first boss, Murai. I got beat up pretty bad the first 3 times and had to repeat the entire sequence from start. When I finally beat him, I got labelled as a Ninja Dog. Bloody hell…
After that, I discovered how to fight properly with the game pad. All this while, I was simply slamming buttons. And I managed to beat Murai with this technique. Not bad eh?
I was starting to get the hang of it and successfully beat all those brown/white ninjas and the samurais. I gave up after the 5th time trying to beat Masakado. He has got those irritating ‘magicians’ that keep appearing and disappearing all over the place. That’s cheating (according to Jarod’s handbook of gaming ethics).
Anyway, I stopped there and went to bed. Will continue later. Next time I’m sure I’ll beat the crap out of that horsey fellow.
