POssibly The best 3rd person slasher/beat em'up/adventure  game ever made...YUP!

[joanthedark]

I love the game... but that is a shit quality of video

[Nodrog666]

Those graphics are STELLAR.

Black shits on every other version that came before and after....iincluding the Sigma's... that is a fact.

@tren979797 It's actually really awesome if you know how to string it into a really great combo (I had to several times in order to survive certain parts of Very Hard on the original game). In fact, because of Very Hard Mode, I learned how to do more open 36-43 hit Dragon Sword combos on groups of enemies, then fancy it up by ending with an Ultimate Technique (the charge). I only own the original game,however,and do not know if you can continue hitting enemies to a point after they die in Black.

One of the best games ever...however I think the charge technique in this gameplay was COMPLETELY INSULTING!!! It's 95% USELESS for real!!! NG2 did actually do that better...

@ZGoten yeah man. i think it became compatible since like the 2nd update. but yeah, i play this on my 360 all the time. its an amazing game

[ZGoten]

Does anyone know, if this game (the disc version) work with the 360 by now? It seems like they removed some puzzles in Sigma, so I'd rather play Black.

Oh, fuck me, I wish I wasn't so terrible at video games.

This looks fun as shit.

@serioussam189 i don't know if you are still playing it but, staying close to him, hit and dodge tactic is all you need to do. Also, there is a talisman of rebirth on the ship in the back where you started the mission. This is after you destroy that power generator. NGB does have some cheap bosses but as long as you know how to dodge each attack their difficulty drops *cough*alma*cough* damn flying pillars.

Damn...I went here because the video at GameSpot fucks up after 1 minute.

This doesn't look any better ._<

@serioussam189 Dynamo is a bitch. He shoots a couple shots, then there is a small pause and he takes aim and shoots one more that is really accurate. To avoid this, when there is the pause, do a flying swallow. You won't damage him, but you'll land close to him and he will do his short range attacks (swing the arm then grab, swing the arm, swing the arm down then grab). You want to stay close to him hit him with 2-3 move combo, avoid his attacks with rolls and repeat. Just started a VH run!
