The 2004 Xbox release of Ninja Gaiden has three versions of it, including the Black and Sigma additions, so it makes sense that they'd want to flog 2008's Ninja Gaiden II as well. However, while Ninja Gaiden Sigma was released three years and a generation after it's inspirational title, Ninja Gaiden Sigma II comes barely a year after the controversial release of Ninja Gaiden II." 8/10
