ninja gaiden 2 and ninja gaiden sigma 2

those 2 games are not getting enough credit as they should. they are truelly amazing games. the fighting system is amazing it is so deep like a fighting game also the controls and gameplay in unrivaled it is so smooth and extrememly responsive, i know some people are complaing about difficulty but play it on easy and for newcommers this should be as hard as any other game on normal.

also the graphics are extremely nice specially in sigma 2 (the visuals in sigma 2 looks AMAZING), the colors are amazing and the resolution and animation is amazing. i find it strange that no one ever even hinted that sigma 2 it is one of the best looking games this gen, it runs smooth, the weapons look amazing with there blur effect adn the gaem is very flamboyant also the level the ninja gaiden 2 world in general looks great. everything from graphics to gameplay to the ai is just perfect. ninja gaiden 2 and sigma 2 did not sell very well, ninja gaiden 2 sold around 1 mil and sigam 2 sold around 0.5 mil. those games deserve better sales because theya re truely usique no game (maybe bayonetta a little) come even close to the deep fighting and easy to learn fighting system that ninja gaiden 2 offers.

the game in motion even looks 10 time better than these. u hav to play it to admire it.

btw those are ingame images

Crap, how the hell could i forget about NGS2.

I let off getting NG2 because i thought Sigma 2 would release and completely forgot about the game.

Thanks for the reminder TC, il do some research now. The game looks gorgeous and if its anything like NG1 combat, its still leagues ahead of everything on the market.

No gore=no buy. I was a huge fan of the first on xbox but they gimped the PS3 verson. I'm not buying it.

A lot of people are turned off by NG games because they actually require skill and reflexes. The average gamer doesn't appreciate not being good at a game at first and then taking the time to improve. Most just like a consistent EZ Mode in every game they play

the game has enough gore tho the ninja gaiden 2 gore feels nicer but sigma 2 makes uo with uotstading graphics. also i dont know why people keep saying the first was better. i think ninja gaiden 2 is much better than 1. play ninja gaiden 2 or sigma 2 and then go back and play ninja gaiden 1 and u will see that it is a much better game they dont even compare.

Are you serious? Blood is so important to you in games that you will completely ignore every aspect of the actual game?

Btw there is blood in NGS2, just not as much as NG2. The purple/blue/green/gray mist just accompanies the blood. After you're done killing a bunch of enemies, Ryu's weapon will have blood all over it as well until he swipes it off

I played Sigma 2, it was great but I wouldn't recommend the easier mode for that one. It was mostly too easy, and I'm far from an expert.

Meh i acctually put in Sigma 1 into my ps3 today and played it. Only did the first chapter tho as im kkinda pissed that i have to beat it on normal to unlock the other difficulties when i was half way through on the difficulty above hard when my old ps3 ylod and all save data went bye bye. I put it in not remembering i wouldnt start being able to choose difficulties.

Oh well im interested in getting the second one but not sure for what system. Sigma 2 is too expensive but i dunno.

I left this series when they changed the blood to purple. That is just so much fail.

eh Im still trying to figure out why they remove it. or dont have a filter system like gears had.

But I think the game lacking in new game + is even far worse then game not having gore. I hope to see new game + for NGIII.

What do you mean by New Game+? Just playing through the game again with all your upgrades?

The core gameplay in NG2 is friggin' awesome: fast-paced and brutal. Killing enemies with executions is incredibly satisfying. It's too bad they screwed up so bad with crappy levels and cheap enemies.

Sigma 2 is actually on my "to get" list once i get another PS3. I figure that and all three GoW games should fix that genre right up swell for me.

Nothing is wrong with that. It's just they had this in Sigma 2. I mean you couldn't play straight through, but by doing each Chapter Challenge you could have all of your upgraded weapons. Idk if this was in NG2

Yeah, but to completely disregard a game due to less blood? The gameplay is still there and you can still cuts off heads and other limbs. Blood and gore and everything is nice but its definitely not something I consider essential to any game

I have both, i enjoyed both, I noticed more flaws in the sequel but i found the combat more satisfying.

No joke, my friend bought a 360 on craigslist just so he could play the "real" version of NG2. Back to the game though, it was good, but disappointing compared to NG1. I felt the exact same feeling when I played RE5. RE4 and NG1 were just amazing games and the sequels didn't carry on that flair or magic.-RocBoys9489-

How crappy has the level design become?

One of the main things i loved about NG1 was how the world all felt connected and you were unlocking abilities to go to different parts as you progress (like a tightly compressed Zelda world).

Very crappy, you end up in different cities after a bunch of missions, no explanation to how you even got there. I played NG2 and did find it a little disappointing, partly due to hammering the Y button will kill almost every enemy instantly. Boss fights were not properly optimized in some areas, and enemy AI was incredibly cheap compared to NG1. NGS2 did rectify alot of this, and the co op mode was seriously fun (except not many go online for co op any more).

I remember I was so hyped for Sigma 2 before it came out, but then I just never brought it and got Bayonetta instead (which imo has the best combat system for a hack and slash that i've played). I love Sigma 1 and today I saw Sigma 2 for $29 at Game (normally $100 since I live in AUS) I might have to pick it up, but I've brought so much already I don't know if i'll have anytime to play it.

I always assumed that series was wayy to hardcoreish hard so I never played it...couldn't even get passed the demo so I knew it was a no go.

I disagree highly on combat. NG still outshines for being balanced. NG2, you can tap Y repeatedly to kill majority of the enemies in a matter of 2-3 hits. Also, I found role to be in NG to more useful then the dash in NG2. not saying the combat sucked, but i think NG was certainly alot more balanced.

[QUOTE="infamousxii"][QUOTE="Im_single"] One of the best parts about NG1 was this, and the level design in NG2 is terrible (All stages), the boss battles are bad too, and the enemies are cheap, it isn't half as good as NG1, but I'd say it is worth picking up for the price it is now.Disturbed123

[QUOTE="infamousxii"] The combat in NG2 is done almost perfectly iIhavent played Sigma 2, but that wasnt it downfall. Like people have said the level design and enemy AI is just retarded. It's seems like the development team ran out of ideas after the combat. Who ever thought it would be cool to give ninjas rocket launchers should be shot. infamousxii

I dont think you could counter enemies like those dinosaur creatures, and those 1 eyed cyclops as they tend to hit you underground in NG1? I agree you could use flying swallow to kill anything, but that issue was rectified in NG;Black. Not every enemy dies with an Izuna drop in NG1 however, but in NG2, its pretty much an instant kill.

A lot of people are turned off by NG games because they actually require skill and reflexes. The average gamer doesn't appreciate not being good at a game at first and then taking the time to improve. Most just like a consistent EZ Mode in every game they play

This is true.
