Ninja Gaiden Sigma vs Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2

I played and used to own the original Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox(which I loved) and I found Sigma to be more of the overtop action I enjoyed. I only played the demo for Sigma 2 which I found awesome as well but tended to be a bit more button mashy compared to the original. I'm having a hard time conlcuding which one is the superior version. The first one has great pacing while the second one had better weapons. What do you guys think?

Well first off Sigma and Sigma 2 are two different games. Sigma 1 has the better story and gameplay but Sigma 2 has more content. Sigma 2 has..

• Co-op
• More characters
• More weapons
• Trophies

Both games are good and worth owning.

well i had ninja gaiden for xbox and ninja gaiden 2 for the 360 but i have to say ninja gaiden 2,

i plan on getting sigma 2 because all that bonus stuff just sounds too good.. :P and i never got around to beating ninja gaiden 2 on the 360 either

GrandJury

I don't know about better, maybe better, but I thought Sigma 2's gameplay was definitely faster, and what sets it apart from Sigma 1 is that you have to slash the enemies much more to get them, with Simga 1, you could do maybe 3, sometimes 4 good hits and they'd go down, but with Sigma 2, it seems like so many of the enemies take about 7 or 8 good hits before they're done, and the action is more frenzied too, the speed of Sigma 2 dwarfs that of Sigma 1, even though Simga 1 is still really fast, Sigma 2 is nuts.

I will say that Sigma 1 is a better wrapped-up package though. The story flows much better, the levels (gamemap) is more cohesively designed as one "be all end all" environment. Sigma 2 is just more "arcadey" where the levels are just random places that don't relate that you just run into and fight. The story is also scattered, and the levels are just "do this," "now do this," "perform this" and set up 1, 2, 3, 4 wheras Sigma 1's levelled flowed so well into eachother. They were more united in that fashion, wheras Sigma 2's levels seem to be separate and not so interdependant. The music and just overall feel of Sigma 1 is superior, although I can't help but love the faster gameplay of Sigma 2.

First one was a lot better

you're correct on that. Sigma 2 is yet another button masher like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, God of War, Heavenly Sword, you name it. Sigma 2 is more noob friendly and the combos don't require that much precision. Another thing is that Sigma has intelligent enemy AI, Sigma 2 AI is very stupid but it has more enemies on screen like in GOW.

If I had to chose it is obvious that the first Sigma is the superior game. Sigma 2 is a game made to appeal to all those fans of GOW and button mashers in general that don't want to waste time sharpening their skills. Ninja Gaiden is all about the action while GOW has puzzles and better story anyway.

i was exicted to play these when i got my PS3, so after renting, i would not suggest either. Very boring button mashing with cluncky controls compared to other similar games ive played. Ive only played Sigma 2.da_chub

Sigma 2 could be anything from boring to button masher but clunky is not... Cluncky is something like Heavenly Sword that is not even 60fps and the constrolls lag a lot.
