It all dependson how difficult you want your game to be, I'm playing through warrior mode on NG2 at the moment (the second hardest difficulty) and I feel like it's harder than DMD mode on DMC 4 which I had a little trouble with but not nearly as much level restarting as NG. Also in DMC the most you'll be pitted against is 4 or 5 enemies at once and thats only in a couple parts of the game. In NG2 you'll constantly feel like your fighting a mob of enemies. Also whether you prefer gore or story. Ninja Gaidens story might as well not even have dialogue its literally not understandable the plot (if you can call it that...) is complete garbage. DMC 4 has a decent plot, it's still a bit on the cheesy side not as much so as DMC 3 but its definitely not as serious and badass as DMC 1 was. I'd say it's somewhere in between.

Bottom line is Ninja Gaiden has bloodier combat and sick fatalty moves.
Devil May Cry has the lovable Devil Trigger and Nero (whom I actually grew to like as a newcomer to the series) has the Devil Bringer which is also a blast to use.Â

Difficulty-wise

Plot-wise
DMC4>>>NG2
Boss Fights*
DMC4>>>>>>>>NG2
*Who wants a bunch of minions running around annoying the crap out of you while your trying to fight a boss? Plus NG2 bosses are wierd looking and often the size of many of the fiends you'll see throughout the levels. DMC has epic boss fights with enormous beautifully rendered bosses and its just plain fun, NG seems like I'm dreading the next boss fight more than I'm excited for it.

In the end the choice is yours, but just a little extra tid bit, the last weapon you get in DMC 4 (spoilers?????????) Lucifer was a big dissappointment to me, its just not that fun to try to string it in with the combos of the other two weapons. Ninja Gaiden has much more weapons than DMC and they are all melee and feel unique in their own ways.
