Rather, it is a repackaging of the original with material from the two downloadable Xbox Live Hurricane Pack expansions, an expanded story, more costumes, a port of the arcade version of Ninja Gaiden, extra levels of difficulty, and a whole new mode of play focused on scripted missions.

Team Ninja went ahead and included this download for those without Xbox Live, and then they expanded it from a single, five-stage challenge into 45 additional arena battles for a total of 50, enabling you to learn the meaning of humility.

In its heart of hearts, we believe the team wanted to create a game in that same mold, delivering kooky characters and silly scenarios and making games fun in the old sense of the word.

Still, it's a motley crew that players should have no problems finding a favorite fighter among for whooping the tar out of the rest.
