Of Zen and Gaming

User Rating: 9.5 | Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 PS3
I remember the first Ninja Gaiden for Xbox, and reading an article comparing it to the mindset of Zen. The game was said to force you to keep a clear mind in order to stay alive in battle, and it was true. I almost bought a Xbox 360 just to play this game, and glad I did not, I actually bought the Xbox for Ninja Gaiden, and the PS3 for Ninja Gaiden Sigma. As for NGS2 I could not stop playing the demo on the PSN, I rented it through Gamefly, and ended up buying it today. Make no mistake......I LOVE THIS GAME!!!!

The combat is so amazing and demands your attention 100%, if the first one came close to ZEN in gaming, this one hits the mark!!! It makes it even better with the Japanese audio, and english subtitles. Team Battle is so much fun and challenging, additional bosses fit very well. I can tell that Team Ninja put a lot of time into the game to make it even better. The camera seems a little higher up then the first Sigma which is a good, if you need to complain about it go ahead, I have come to except to just keep hitting R1 when needed.

If you loved the first game, GO BUY THIS!!!! If you have never played Ninja Gaiden play the first one before trying this, you will need the learning curve. It is not easy but the Ninja Gaiden games [going back to the arcade] have never been known for being easy.....

Thank You Team Ninja!!!!
