After about a dozen run-throughs of the newly released PLAYSTATION 3 demo version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Kotaku has made up their mind. "Ninja Gaiden Sigma is awesome."
The review goes on to state:
"Graphically, the game looks stellar, as it always has. Team Ninja has taken advantage of the step-up in processing power and turned in a 1080p masterpiece. While there are elements of the visual presentation that hearken back to their original Xbox heritage, the reworked textures and subtle lighting and shadowing effects hide any minor flaws the game has.
Personally, I prefer the layout of the DualShock/SIXAXIS to any of the Xbox controllers, so the game's controls felt even tighter this go 'round. However, some players may miss the force feedback used to great effect in Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black."

In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
It’s a big month for the PlayStation Now Subscription, with new games and new devices to play on.
Is PS Now fairly consistent with a good internet connection? Do the games offer trophy support?
I love ps now, think about 100 + ps3 games streamed right away to your tv. Don't have to wait for gamefly, don't need to get up and go to the store. Instantly streamed to you from an internet connection. Think about it. gamefly two disc plan runs you 22.00 a month for two disc and sometimes you have to wait. 2-4 days for a game. $44.00 for 3 months gets you unlimited access to ps3 games and soon ps2 and ps1. If you are an mmo player you pay 15.00 a month just to play that one game. i think the value is perfect. Even when psn goes down. Think about mmo's when they go down or go down for maintenance you still pay 15.00 a month for that one game. Not trying to fanboy here but ps now will be a good investment. Think about it you don't have to hook up your old console just to play a game.
I tried PS Now for a month and am now really intrigued by the games on demand model, the convenience of such a massive catalogue at your fingertips is awesome. But I have ps3 so the value just isn't there at the moment. Also I couldn't help but wonder why there aren't more Sony exclusives featured on Now?
The best games to play on PSNow would be RPGs, Card Games, Board Games, pretty much anything turn-based or non-reflex related. On the opposite side, Fighting games, for example, are absolute trash on PSNow because if you're even half serious about them you don't want any interference, period. Normal online tends to be bad enough as it is for serious players.
I would also stay from anything like 1001 Spikes or Shmups.
Also, when is the price going to drop to a reasonable $10 per month/$100 per year?
A Change.org petition to bring all three titles in the new Ninja Gaiden trilogy to Steam is gaining traction.
I had a great time playing the demo and even though i've played Ninja Gaiden on xbox, I will defintely fork over the sixty dollars for this game. Kudos to Team Ninja for making this game a reality on the ps3 and i will also be looking forward to Ninja Gaiden 2 regardless of what console it comes out for.
I loved the demo I downloaded from the Playstation Store!
Looking forward to buying this gem.
Maybe the original xbox version was too good. The upgrades in graphics are not as impressive as I was expecting. I aslo find the xbox controller better for this game than the dualshock. Any Sony fanboy should buy this game at once. But if you've played it on xbox or the 360 BC, the difference is minor and not worth another $60.
I'm up to the "very hard" mode and I played with rachel on that one mode I cant remember what it is..the game is pretty much the same but if u never played it you should play it.Also the game looks amazing.This generation looks like a cut scene from last generation not really much of a leap
Seems like I don't need to get it for the PS3. I'll wait for the next version. I love the 360 controller + rumble ya can't beat it. This game does get hard tho, it reminds me back in the days where bosses were actually tough and it took more than 3 combos and a special move to beat. I like these type of games, more of a challenege. I hope DMC is just as hard.
