It's been awhile since I played Ninja Gaiden Black for the original Xbox, but after playing the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo it made me remember how fun it was!  I enjoyed this game for the Xbox/Xbox 360 and I know I'll enjoy it for the PS3.  I'll probably just rent it though since the majority of the game is the same.  Besides new characters, weapons, levels, etc. the graphics only slightly look better on the PS3 than the ancient original Xbox.  It makes me realize how powerful the original Xbox really was.  Anyway, if you never played Ninja Gaiden on the Xbox, how are you enjoying the Sigma demo so far?  I'm having a blast with it!

With that said, I already know the full game version will be much better.  Can't wait to rent it!

The camera is a bit troublesome in-doors and the fact that you can't save in the demo is a bit frustrating on higher difficulty, but it's a really nice game. Also, when I first played it, I had some trouble getting used to the controls, I always tried to dodge with the right analog stick^^

The demo is also available in the U.S store. I was convinced by people that it was Japan only so I went ahead and made a Japanese account only to find out later they were wrong. I am kind of disapointed though (not with the demo) but with the PSN downloads available today. I thought Calling All Cars was going to be available today. Oh well.....been waiting for it like forever.

I played and beat Ninja Gaiden back on the Xbox, but that demo was sick. I normally don't like to "rebuy" games that I finished, but I'll be getting the PS3 version day one.

It's not really my first time because i played the original one my brother bought up until about level four then gave it back to him but I'm glad I waited because I really like my ps3 and the controller better.  So I think I made the right choice in waiting.

I'd say I'm also happy to see that they are releasing demos for games not released yet... since all the demos that came out so far were for released games...

It plays exactly like the xbox version. This version is a bit prettier....but not by much. People who have never played it will really like it. The game is tough as nails. But i dont consider this a true next gen version of Ninja Gaiden. Its just a xbox game with a face lift.

every game requires getting used to.  Ninja Gaiden didn't become so highly regarded by not being great all-around.  keep playing.  you'll get it down.  once you learn the combos and understand how to dodge and attack, you'll be in love.

understand, it's a hard game.  AI isn't retarted.  Get ready.

Yes I LOVED the demo.  Nice difficulty, and many cool weapons to utilize, as well as a variety of ways to kill your enemies.  It's a great game that i'll definately be picking up the day of release.

I never played a ninja gaiden game before the demo, i thought it was really fun, the combat system is excellent, i don't quite get how to do special moves yet though.  If i had to complain it would be that the attack button is the same as the interact button, so it makes it really easy to accidentaly enter a door when slashing up so ninjas. and the camera angles kinda sucked sometimes, but for the most part they were good. if the difficulty is scalable then that'll just be a cherry on topp of the wicked cup cake that will be Ninja gaiden sigma.

i also havent played Ninja Gaiden since the NES,well... I did play it on the origional Xbox a bit, I just didnt like the xbox controller cause it was huge, the game though is amazing.  I played the demo today, and I am really impressed. i like the fact that to use your nippo, you have to press the triangle and circle button at the same time then charge your nippo using the sixaxis. Cant wait till the implement sixaxis more in games, it makes it enjoyable, hopefully when the "shockaxis" comes out supposively, they can patch this game to use rumble and sixaxis at the same time to get somewhat of the ultimate experience

SLAPS big_boss4life UPSIDE THE HEAD WITH THE UNLABORED FLAWLESSNESS

What the hell kind of rocks are you smoking son?

When playing this game, it is unbelieveably important to keep all the enemies in front of you. Or else, you're going to get hacked up from all different angles from the unforgiving enemies. Use the walls to flee from enemies when they surround you and keep a close finger on your L1 and R1 buttons. Take extra care to keep your finger by the block button. You'll use it A LOT. Plus, by holding the block button down, you can quickly roll around using the Left Analog stick. 

A technique I used to get over the learning curve for the camera is: rolling back from enemies when you're unsure of how many enemies are on screen. Immediately after rolling back, reset the camera using R1. That way, you can see EVERYTHING in front of you. Now, you can use the right analog stick to gently angle the camera towards your periphery. 

The game is fast and the enemies are unforgiving. Just forget about the right thumbstick because you're going to have a really hard time shifting the camera around while fighting. Just like in real life, you can't see behind you. You can only sense it. So stop complaining...Some people never get over the steep learning curve and can't handle this game. You seem to be one of those people. This is an ACTION game. Seriously...don't hate the game. Hate yourself. 

 P.S.

How can you argue that the camera in this game is worse than Devil May Cry...This game is NOT a button masher. You'd be surprised how deep the system is when you add a little delay here and there. Add a couple of jumps and Ultimate Attacks...The fighting system is almost as deep as Devil May Cry. Except...no weapon switching on the fly...OMFG that would be nasty...

I totally understand about using the right analog stick to dodge dude. By having it on the left stick when you have your block down, it teaches you the importance of ALWAYS having your finger on the Block button. Just try and remember that it's not God of War...But in my honest opinion, it is as good, if not even better than God of War. What puts God of War over the top though in my opinion is its storyline...
