Ninja Gaiden Sigma

a highly underrated game, suitable for hardcore action gamers. How ps vita many games have this degree of responsiveness, and AI. The learning curve is gradual then steep then the mastery becomes enjoyable. Graphics are smooth and fast and the sword slashing becomes a course of mini beatemups. levels are well designed and the userr can explore and interact well. For me it beats all the swathe of repetitive and commercial childish cartoon like games for handhelds. This game is one of the few games that can appeal to adults. If you have played this on the xbox, i can understand how this vita game adds little. But if you haven't played a ninja gaiden title, you will find this hard to put down.

I played the PC version of Sigma. I guess it was alright for the time, but the character designs are incredibly generic and the story is pretty meh. Still, it's a lot of fun.I struggled with the difficulty, but that's because I'm terrible at it.

I've played through two versions of this on the xbox and its follow up on the 360. This version has some issues that were not in the original. It pauses to load in the middle of fights which did not happen before and should not happen now, fighting the enemies is hard enough... fighting the loading as well is a real **** This also causes enemies to re-spawn as soon as they are defeated in areas where their spawn point is close to a loading point... The new touch additions are a pain in the ass rather than an enhancement, its easy to touch the screen by accident as the left thumb-stick is too close to it resulting in a first person view when you least want it. The right thumb-stick also hinders the buttons above it so I never used the guillotine throw during this play-through. They may have removed a save point prior to the fight with Alma in the cathedral, I could be wrong but I don't remember such an awful trek back to this difficult fight when I lost in the older versions? There are now more life bar boosts than the game will allow the use of which is poor... The final chapter has always been frustrating but I thought when you got out of the volcano in the original that, should you lose the final fight, it would restart you at the fight rather than at the bottom of the bloody volcano, again I might be wrong. Either way you would not play through this chapter if it were near the start, you would turn the game off and trade it in for as little as a £1. To top this off once completed it just throws you back to the title screen after the credits have rolled with no final save, so you can't go through it again with all your gear etc... WHY!!! A very bad port **** game, a bit of modern TLC could have made a big difference... instead the conversion team who got hold of this have taken a butchers cleaver to it and hacked it up. Probably the same guys who made Ninja Gaiden 3!

I don't know if it's a port issue, but the controls are awful, to the point that I'm starting to think my Vita's buttons are faulty because it's driven me to despair at times... Add to that the terrible loading screens and the frame rate drops, and you've got it all.

I was getting pretty sick playing this, like literally physically. The graphics are so old and with the limited small fps and the motion blur on top I was getting pretty motion sick and eye draining playing this that I had to stop playing after 7 minutes... Gameplay wise, well, the game is pretty old so the mechanics are pretty out of date and simplistic now. I don't think its worth playing at all in 2025
