Right off the bat I notice that the camera is a bit more dynamic in II, working more to enhance the action than simply portray it. The environments look far more detailed as well, and the animations seem a tad bit more fluid. Now that I've seen them side by side, Ninja Gaiden II is looking like a definite improvement over Sigma. Nicely done, Team Ninja."

GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
With over 5144 games on the PS3, it is easy to miss out on some great games. Here are some of the best unknown games on the PS3.
I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.
Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.
WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly
It had a lot of potential
Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
FLAME ON !!!
Amazing how games just look better on the 360.
personally I am going to wait in till NG2 is released before I compare it to NGS
Here's my take on the situation:
The environments do look a bit better, as well as lighting/camera effects, but it's too insignificant to impress me. I'm looking forward to this game and I wanted the graphics to be knock-down drag-out better than sigma, mainly because I'm a graphics whore + a BIG fan of the game.
Oh well, Sigma suited me just fine, I can deal with sub-par graphics*. And I guess when you think about it, you dont really notice the graphics when you're playing the game anyways, because its just so good.
In short, even though I'm dissappointed with the 'updated' graphics, I'm also just fine with them because I get to play another Ninja Gaiden game :)
* as for me saying sub-par graphics(read above), please dont attack me. When you look at games like GeoW and Killzone 2, this game kinda falls out of the forefront in the graphics department. <--OPINION
The reviewers are quick to point out the "Supposed" improvements of NG2 over sigma, but how come they don't point out that Sigma has self shadowing on everything, while NG2 doesn't have any shadows on the moving characters!
To me they look just about the same, what I DO like about NG2 is that the dead bodies don't disappear after a few seconds.
