 GameSpy: I-Ninja Preview
In Argonaut's I-Ninja, the titular character defiantly embraces the Sisyphean struggle of aligning what Jung called the personae operatis with the baser inclinations of his bred-in (or in-bred?) ninja impulses.
Ninja is a pretty able little guy; he's deadly with his sword, can swing and grapple with his hook, use his sword as a fall-slowing helicopter, grind rails, run up walls, run along walls, and the proverbial "more." In short, he makes for an extremely capable platforming hero.
I-Ninja seems to be following an increasingly common trend in platform games by offering a wide variety of gameplay styles in addition to the "normal" platforming, with smooth transitions between all the various types.

 I-Ninja - ESCMag Review
I-Ninja may pass under the radar of casual and hardcore gamers, but it really shouldn't, as the game itself is filled with a unique sense of humor and lots of little ninja action.
Seeping into the role of the smallest ninja ever, you proceed to accidentally kill your sensei before the player is even able to control the character.
I-Ninja is a melding of the platform genre with some minor puzzle, fighting, and action elements presented in a rich environment that presents its only downfall in somewhat stagnant gameplay.

 Ninja Gaiden Black Xbox Review Index, Ninja Gaiden Black Reviews
For the many who wanted an 'easier' difficulty setting than the original default mode, Team Ninja's added a 'Ninja Dog' mode, which after a specific number of deaths in the game makes itself available to you, although a subsequent amount of in-game groveling is necessary to even unlock it.
Ninja Gaiden Black is bigger, better, faster, harder than its predecessor, rearranging enemies for a fresh challenge, adding a grip of new outfits not found in the previous edition, and generally just making you its bitch all over again.
Naturally the game supports the leaderboards, meaning that people who manage to beat Master Ninja mode can show the world how bad-ass they are by uploading their scores, and in a neat "thank you" to the fans, Team Ninja even put the names of the top Master Ninja Tournament players in the ending credits.
