Depends what game you like

Assassins Creed= Slow paced, repetitive, but good story

Ninja Gaiden Sigma=Fast paced, average story, not that repetitive and awesome fighting

AC is kinda hard to describe. I would rent it. Its really kinda cool one time threw. But its pretty dried out after that. And it needs a few fixes here and their. Would love to see a well made, more perfected sequel. And its the perfect game "Besides uncharted" for a sequel. Because it showed alot. But could give so much more.

NG is a last gen game that was cool. Kinda hard! And last gen games look fantastic when redone for this gen. Its kinda cool. But it has a last gen feel. Which is not a bad thing. In fact I would like to see some developers kinda balance out between the two on certain games. to get crytal clear graphics.



Was not huge one other or. But I would say AC. Its something kinda new, and interesting for a while.

Ok controller is charged, have a day off tomorrow. More GTA time!!!!

ninja gaiden, without a doubt. the controls are responsive. the combat is fast and brutal. the game doesnt shy away from a good difficulty level. its a must buy assuming you havent played one of the older versions.

assassins creed is incredibly overrated on this site. the gameplay is boringly formulaic. each time you enter a city, its: find the map points, do the same sidequests, kill the target. they never mix up these elements. the targets are never have any variation. once you gather your case, you just find the target and stab him. thats it. theres no replayability on the ps3 version. there are tons of flags to collect, but no incentive to do so (360 version gives you achievements atleast. the ps3 version wont even go as far as to pat you on the back for your trouble). the story starts off well but the cliffhanger ending will leave a bad taste in your mouth. though its not all bad. the game is pretty and the free-running system is both innovative and fun. it just doesnt have much else backing it up.

I own both those titles, as much as I love the both of them if you were to force me to choose I would have to say NGS, it's just so bada$$, not that AC is'nt. It's just I'd rather play NGS. But if you can you should really pick up both of them.

AC just frustrates me, how did they mess up such a great template for a game. NGS has a frustrating camera for me. They're both good rentals. You should also consider DMC4.

Neither, to be honest.

Rent 'em both. I own both and kind of regret it. If I wasn't a packrat I would trade them in.

AC is sweet, the story is pretty cool, the environments are amazing and the sandbox elements are wicked - running across rooftops and climbing everything in the area is an awesome gameplay element. The combat is kind of fun, but it gets repetitive in a hurry, and the missions are incredible mundane and repetitive. Overall the game has elements of greatness and elements of suck, and they come together in a fairly uneven package. A lot of potential, but a pretty unfinished game imo.

NGS is fun, but completely repetitive, to the point that you see the same exact levels 5-10 times in a game. You will find yourself backtracking and walking through the same areas over and over, killing the same bosses, hearing the same music. The story is completely lame, the Rachel parts are clunky and thrown together and the whole presentation (music, sound FX, level design, menu screens) are way last-gen. Overall I had fun and don't regret sinking time into it, but it's not something I would buy again now that there are better games to play on the 3.

The obvious answer here is BUY GTA, you won't need another game for a while, but if you're dead set on a game that involves swords, go for Heavenly Sword or Devil May Cry 4, I found them both to be much more enjoyable than NGS or AC, regardless of what the reviews here say. Heavenly Sword is unbelievably cinematic and has character and uniqueness oozing from every pore, while DMC4 is more about being hardcore and demolishing your enemies with as big a combo as you can manage. It's a game for the hardcore that can still be enjoyed by the novice. The fighting system is insanely fun, the story is actually quite good for a game like this, and though it's short and rather repetitive, it seemed to beckon me back to play it again and again. Conversely, I got so sick of backtracking in NGS that I totally lost interest in the game and STILL haven't even finished it, which is partially why I haven't traded it in, come to think of it.

My recommendations: GTAIV (I recommend this for everything, even the common cold or measles), Heavenly Sword, or Devil May Cry 4.

Which are you more in the mood for: Action or Adventure? Ninja Gaiden is all action, and Assassin's Creed is all adventure.

Assassin's Creed, hands down. NGS was ok, but it was pretty much the same game from the previous Xbox versions, only thing different was more weapons, enhanced graphics and Rachel's "physics".

Ninja Gaiden is great, but it's really difficult. Assassin's Creed is easier, has better graphics, but isn't even close to as good.

well ok atleast both sound like good games...sounds like i cant go wrong either way cuz its like 50/50. but the reason dmc4 and heavenly sword are outta the question is that their both like $60 still and i heard that HS is definately a rental since its so short and possibly no replay value? ANYWAYS i plan on buying all four its basically which to choose first and since AC and NG are both $30 now i fig ill get one beat it then get the other maybe..
