Should I play the "NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection" before starting this game?

Yes, play the first game in the Collection, then play this instead of the censored low res one in the collection, then play the third game in the collection.

You don't have to, but you can find a cd key for the MC from other retailers for like $20 and it often goes on sale on steam for that price as well.

All Ninja Gaiden games play pretty differently, so while it can be nice to go from 1 to 2 to 3, being good at one game doesn't help a ton for the others. 3 in particular plays extremely differently to either 1 or 2.

The Master Collection contains Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, which has a lot of changes that people generally don't like compared to the original Xbox 360 release. There is a mod on nexus called Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Black that reverts a lot of these changes. This game, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, rectifies some of these, but not as many as the mod does. In particular this game is missing several encounters and fights from the original, several modes and just in general much lower enemy counts throughout the game.

Personally I think the MC provides much higher value, but this game is a fine entry point as well if you're new to the series. It looks good, plays well and is generally fun.

instead of 3 play the original 2 on xbox. it look amazing on the new consoles. it had some of the best graphics for 360 and didnt use any smoke and mirrors tricks to do it. all it needed was some anti aliasing and a little filtering
