Not quite my preference for the first game but you can't really go wrong with any version of the 2004 Ninja Gaiden. In comparison to Black, it adds in some areas, subtracts in others, and has some very odd changes made seemingly at random (for example, berserkers in Sigma can easily be countered to death, making solo encounters easier; however, berserkers are far more aggressive off screen than in Black, making group fights with them more difficult). Overall, it's still a great game. Its changes from Black result in a preference for one over the other, but either game is worth playing, so don't feel bad about picking up whatever is most accessible to you. Rachel is very hot.
