    The story is not too bad for the genre, it has its cliches but also some surprises and a purpose to keep you in the game for the approximately 12 hours needed to finish it. There is quite a lot of weapon but most are expendables and I would have preferred more ninpos over weapons. An other good point for the game is its bosses, there is a lot and most of them offer nice fights, but most of all what I liked about the game is that Ryu truly fights like a ninja, his movements are smooth, class and lethal, it only lacks some infiltration.

    On the bad side the camera isn't perfect and the platform phases are horribles (I think I died more times because of them than fights). Add to a difficulty that can prove to be too challenging even for the best players Ninja Gaiden Sigma is not a game for everybody, but it sure is a good one, with qualities that some players will be craving for.    … Full Review »

Ninja Gaiden Sigma has one of the best combat systems I have ever tried in a video game. The movements of Ryu Hayabusa are really fluent, resembling those of a real ninja.

    This first Ninja Gaiden game was already a great game. Arguably, it may lack some extra game modes or online options, but I frankly do not mind that too much.    … Full Review »
