This is the first NG game I've played and I gotta say I am really impressed. This is way better than the GOW series or DMC imo. You really get a LOT for your money. The combat is perfect. The graphics are crisp (although somewhat lacking due to beimg a port from xbox 1), runs at 60fps. The story was actually alright and had a twist at the end I really never saw comming.

One of the best aspects of this game are the enemies and the way you need to improve your playing to finish the game. Now the normal mode is prety challenging (don't be a p***.s.y by switching to easy...) but hard very hard and master ninja will certainly give you some extra beating if you haven't had enough. And the best thing about the harder modes is that the bosses and enemies have the same health! So it's still just as quick to beat them except there are new enemy and item placement, as well as most bosses willl have some buddies to help them out. This is fantastic because it really feels like a new game on every difficulty so the game becomes very replayable. Not to mention it's like 18 hours first time through! It is f*****.i.n.g long!

Gameplay (9/10)
+Fantastic combat system
+Great enemy AI (they all try to kill you while blocking and evading)
+Great boss fights (Doku is prolly my favourite.)
+Good selection of weapons
+Higher diffculties change enemy and item placement, among other things. This makes for a fresh experience every new step up in challenge
-Camera gets a little tricky
-Rachel is not very fun to play as (her chapters should have been optional)

Graphics (8/10)
+Very crisp
+60 fps, no screen tear or lag
+Great character, boss, and enemy models
-Not all that detailed
-Great lighting and bump mapping absent from environments (like I said it's a port)

Sound (10/10)
+Awesome soundtrack
+Sword fights sound incredible (all the clings and slices through flesh)
+Decent voice acting

Value (10/10)
+Only like what 12 bucks?
+Very long campaign
+Very replayable
+Mission mode adds more challenges and value

If you have any doubt about ninja gaiden sigma, put them away and buy this awesome game. If you played the xbox one, I guess it's pretty much the same thing but if you want HD graphics why not snach a copy of sigma.

If you suck at games, play Fable 2....
