GameShark: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Review

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is an enigma in that it manages to both improve and detract from the original Xbox 360 version. The game offers both new and improved features that address some criticisms of the original, but they come at a curious expense of either not fixing or outright removing features in other areas. Far from the definitive version of the game, Sigma 2 ends up doing little more than tread water rather than genuinely improve upon the original material.

This review is trash. It is definitely the definitive version. What was removed? Answer: nothing except a little blood here and there.

"The camera system is just as broken as it was before, combat still has plenty of cheap aspects to it, and nearly all gore has been removed"

All incorrect. The camera system is factually NOT just as broken as it was before, in fact, it has been improved. Granted, it still isn't great, but if you play the two games back to back, you'll see that it is factually, objectively, provably better in Sigma 2.

Combat is also not as cheap. There are areas that had way too many enemies at once attacking you from all sides in the original. They scale it back a bit here, and as a result, it's not as cheap, and it doesn't have the slow-down issue anymore.

And finally, "nearly all gore has been removed"? Total lie. It's still one of the goriest games out there. Blood splatters about and body parts are severed and at the end of every battle there's gore and blood and limbs littered all over the place.

On the other hand, it has vastly improved lighting, textures, and frame-rate, and it has new online features, co-op, and additional characters and bosses and gameplay segments.

It's completely crazy how they just make stuff up about this release.

Probably the "reviewer" didnt even play the game.

The definitve version is the one you pick is you have choice. I'm sure most multiplat gamers would go with Sigma2, better looking, more content and 60fps smooth. The blood is just tone down but is still there.
