GameFocus: Ninja Gaiden Sigma II Review

GameFocus writes: "A year, minus Tomonobu Itagaki, has passed and Tecmo decided to pull another "release on Xbox 360 first then let's bring it to the PS3" strategy with Ninja Gaiden Sigma II, a re-envisioned version of the 2008 Xbox 360 title. While this PS3 version is in many ways different than the Xbox 360 version, Team Ninja manages to add enough substance to please PS3 gamers who haven't (or didn't want to) played the game on 'the forbidden console'."

Pros

+ Non stop-action!
+ Additional levels
+ Cooperative play either offline or online
+ Difficulty level has been toned down
+ Combat, even though feels different, remains incredibly satisfying
+ Crisper graphics compared to XB360 version..

Cons

- ... but suffers from several texture tearing and occasional framerate drops
- Questionable use of the SIXAXIS fonction
- Camera remains an issue
- Lots of modes and options were either altered or removed

This list has nine games....

And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds932d ago (Edited 932d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds932d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya932d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman932d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
