Much Beter On PS3 over xbox360 minus a few old cut scenes tossed in.

This game was a great redo. Excellent graphics and sound. The reason for the missing star was due to the fact that some of the cut scenes were not redone for 1080p. there is a mix of old school graphics in with the new on the cut scenes only. You can definitely tell the difference. Aside from laziness of dev. team to redo all cutscenes, the game is great and worth owning. I got the game for $30 a target on a markdown so it was a steal for me.

Difficult...but perfect for PS3 owners....

This game is difficult but a perfect fix for PS3 owners who are software deprived. A sleek action game that runs in full 1080p, Sigma includes features new to the PS3 version such as the ability to play as Rachel, new weapons, and a couple of new bosses. The camera is still a bit annoying in some places but is an improvement from the Xbox version. Granted it may be a bit familiar to those who have played Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black on the Xbox, but during the long boring gaming days of summer it is a must buy.

Not sure why this game is so popular

I agree that this game has excellent graphics moves and everything that you need. However I am stuck with the difficulty level and game play of the game.
I believe the game play is quite repetitive and the moves are really difficult. How am I supposed to remember a five or four button sequence just to perform one move. It irritated me. I spent 40 bucks on this game and think it is not worth this much.

Excelente ! Un Verdadero Juegazo...!

Compré este juego con la Consola, soy fanático de la Saga original en Nintendo y puedo decirles que con este SE LA COMIERON !, tremendo juego, gráficos espectaculares, ALTA DIFICULTAD (Si, es bastante fuerte), y los controles del juego muy buenos...
Nota: Hay que tener paciencia mis amigos, los enemigos comunes pueden eliminarte muy rápido si no aprendes a bloquear los ataques, incluso para jugadores de vieja escuela como yo, este juego puede hacerte perder la paciencia.. jejeje.
100% recomendado, compra obligada para los que tienen PS3, esperando que pronto salga una nueva versión...

Same thing over and over.

Do they really think they can release the exact same game THREE times? There's very little difference between this and the original two versions on Xbox, other than bloated up resolution and more bloom. If you own an Xbox 1 or an Xbox 360 already, save yourself fifty bucks and just buy the original Ninja Gaiden for ten whopping dollars. If you have previously played and beaten this game, there's very little reason to spend sixty bucks to do something you've already done before.

However, if you neither own an Xbox 1 or Xbox 360, but own a PS3 AND have never played Ninja Gaiden, then I highly recommend the purchase of this game. Although it's rehashed junk over and over, it's at least quality rehash.

Great game but next to impossible

The graphics and gameplay are fantastic! This game offers no setting as far as difficulty and is so challenging It can be annoying. I think that this game offers a lot of hours of fun however, and if you are a fan of the series it is a must have!

An entertaining game.

Entertaining game, but very tough even on normal/default difficulty. Supports 1080P, but looks gorgeous even on 720P using Component Cable with a 2 year old Dell 24" WS LCD that is not HDCP compliant. Audio is also very good. Gameplay is majority hack n' slash with very minor RPG'ish elements like most modern games, but still very enjoyable. Fetch a needed item and gain access to new areas, collect money to buy a handful of useful items, level up weapons, and gaining additional HP and ninja magic/MP is well incorporated into the game.

Rachel looks gorgeous, a little too jiggly exxxaggerated. Rachel's level are short, but also well incorporated into the game. I didn't care much for it, but still didn't mind it either. While Ryu controls well and is very responsive, Rachel is much slower and her attacks are easily dodgeable by quick foes. She seems to take more damage also compared to Ryu, but her life bar is based on Ryu's. If Ryu has used HP items that add more life bar then Rachel benefits from this as well. Her roped grapple sub-weapon is useless compared to Ryu's selection. Ryu also looks awesome along with the game's environment.

I never played the orginal XBox versions, but being a owner of several other consoles and handheld I was not deprived of similar games. To me this game is not the best hack n' slash adventure game ever, but a darn good and entertaining one still though. The game did not look as smooth as I was hoping for, especially for a game that is a few years old and started life on a weaker console. Anti-Aliasing seems to be only 2x, and their is noticeable lag randomingly even when not a lot is happening on screen. I'm not sure about the 60 FPS standard promised by Team Ninja or Tecmo, but the game does not always run at that frame rate. Game camera is also not very good at auto lock as the play moves around so much. Camera can be the cause of death a lot of times. Several bugs, but on rare occasions only. Load times can be terrible between gameplay and cutscenes (CS). On a few occasion the screen turns white and takes over 10 seconds to load a low resolution pixelated CG or in game graphic CS. The game locks up randomly and I never know when it locks up due to differing load times. I wait for a couple minutes and if nothing loads I reset the game, but again a rare occasion. On my PS3 this only happens with NG3S, which should have been more polished prior to release. Not a great XBox port to the PS3. $60 + tax for a decent port that didn't include all the original content from the previous XBox versions on a Blu-Ray disc and all new content is weak on the dollar value scale. I was disappointed when I read about the unlockable contents from the original XBox versions like the original NES playable series and a movie mode (CG & cutscenes viewable probably).

I also thought I would be able to start with the equipments I had once I completed a difficulty like Devil May Cry series, but not the case here. Start a fresh game on a different difficulty setting with nothing, but experience from the previous play through. Fighting techniques and moves are unlockable so your favorite slash attack is locked again once you restart another adventure. Rachel's wigs are locked away again, which the hard work to unlock in the first place was not worth it. Her adventure is short and unlocking accessories and hairstyle/wig is not really necessary nor worth it a second time around. I'm currently playing through Hard mode and I actually struggle less compared to my first time through on Normal mode, but still a tough game. I would consider this a rental if you are a decent casual gamer and just want to complete this game. The length time for this game is moderate, but once through the replay is very low on the value scale. I mean unlocking new customes doesn't make the game any more different or enjoyable and not having the ability to swap between customes at will once a new game is started is even lamer. Even PSOne games like Resident Evil allows custome swapping during game. With very little to no interaction with NPCs and going from fight scene to the next becomes repetitive like most games in this genre. Overall, buy this game if you enjoy challenges and hack n' slash'em adventures. Otherwise, rent it and be entertained a one time through.

A must-own for PS3

This is a fantastic game! Each level is challenging and the controls are extremely intuitive and easy to get used to (i.e. no button mashing). The graphics are very pleasing and the sound is great. I would compare the overall gameplay and enjoyment of this game to the Devil May Cry series. BTW - you have an option to download some of the game to your console for quicker load times and smoother gameplay; I would highly recommend doing this.

Great game for the PS3

This is one of the best games to come out for the PS3 so far IMO. They did a great job bringing it to the PS3 so that it doesn't feel like a port from xbox. The visuals are stunning the controls are quick and the fighting is a lot of fun. The game is rather hard though and can be frustrating when you are getting overwhelmed with bad guys so be prepared for that.

Great, but not perfect!

Being a huge fan of the Ninja Gaiden series since it firts came out on Nintendo, Graphics, Story, gameplay,..everything was superb.
You can figure out how please I was to get Ninja Gaiden Sigma on PS3. I never onwed an Microsoft console so I was happy to finally get my hands on this so acclaimed game.
Running at 1080p, the ingame graphics are great, but not the best I've seeing. The FMV are bad. The ingame cinematics are much better. One thing I've noticed is that in the middle of the action there will be a loading time witch kills the pace. There are some camera issues aswell but it doesn't affect the overall experience. There are plenty of melee weapons and projectile weapons, But I ended up using the default weapon.
The game is not easy but not That difficult, specially when you get through few chapters, you increase your life gauge, upgrade your weapons and get to know the mechanics of the game, DEFENSE is the key, a good one at least.
I'm giving the game 4 stars instead of 5 simply because of the storyline. There is basically nothing and it is not engaging at all unlike the old Ninja Gaiden ones, at least to me. I ended up skipping the fmvs Thanksfully, the gameplay is great. I really dig the storylines in videogames as well as the gameplay.
Oh and one thing, don't know if it is considered a spoiler the his outfit in the first chapter is great and feel's ninja unlike the rest of the game where he wears a latex type of outfit witch I hate! But again, it is just me.
