#NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2 PS3#

It really should be the ultimate ninja-action game.

NG2 really deserves a new edition that cleans up the issues between both versions. Not to mention, action fans would appreciate Ryu's arsenal of unique weapons. It gave off the vibe that ehh.I don't know if I want to see these guys making a NG sequel (I'm playing Razor's Edge right now and uh.hmmm). Despite its age, Sigma 2 remains a hit among Ninja Gaiden fans for its intense action and immense co-op opportunities. Everything was dialed back instead of polished. NGS2 changed up fights like that one and while they're more fair they're also less creative. I will say this, at least they were ambitious. NG2 had some unpolished and frustrating bosses that I couldn't stand (Hello Water Dragon). It makes the stages in NGS2 appear lifeless. It was very jarring.Īlso while this might not seem like much, NGS2 is also missing all of the switch-pulling, key-grabbing, and most minor of puzzle-solving. There were other segments of the game where enemies were either missing or replaced by lesser stuff (like ghost-fish). So at one point in Venice Ryu just goes for a leisurely swim. So what happened in NGS2? On normal difficulty those water-fights were removed completely. I didn't much care for them due to the weird controls. In Venice there are a few fights that take place over water in NG2.

Now first off I didn't put nearly as much time into the games as others on this forum so I'm just noting what I saw. Even just one simple change, the number of enemies on screen, can fully, and completely, and irreversibly damage the entire point and pacing of the game as it was originally intended. The entire difficulty of enemies that have limbs missing being more dangerous is because they can hide in crowds. The entire premise of adding stylistic finishing moves to rapidly take out enemies is because you have large numbers of enemies. But at no point in time does it replace the true Ninja Gaiden 2.

That said, Sigma 2 is still fun, and I got it on PS3 and Vita.

You will know exactly why Ninja Gaiden 2 (360) is the definitive version. If you care enough to make this thread, watch this video in full. The enemy hit points are different, the enemy placement is different, the blood is different, the bow ability to absorb souls is different, some entire levels and bosses are straight up deleted in Sigma 2.
