Holy Crap Ninja Gaiden on Xbox is Hard!!!

[Cubsfan]

I have owned this game no less than 3 times since it came out. I traded it in twice because I just couldn't get past the 4th level. Now I picked up NG Black and it's not mch easier. I'm trying to avoid going into Ninja Dog mode because I don't like to use Easy mode on games but I may have to if this doesn't get easier. Those damn Black Spider Ninjas and theif f'n fire bombs are destroying me. I can't figure out how to avoid them. Then I just got my ass kicked by 3 red dragons that came out of nowhere.

Anyway, this game is hard.

Nuff' said.
