This is a great game and awesome follow up to the original NG 2 (on the 360). All of the content found in the 360 version is here, albeit with one omission, which is the blood. Many will argue this reason alone makes the PS3 version inferior, and while that's a matter of opinion, you can easily overlook this minor detail by the amount of additional content Team Ninja added to this version of the game. To begin, there are 3 additional female characters joining the fray. All three females have their own unique weapons, magic, play style, and levels. In addition to this, the developers added new levels and boss battles not found in the 360 version. This translates into a rather long single player campaign. 10+ hours on the single player campaign depending on your skill level. Last, but not least, there is an on-line component, which features you and an on-line partner in a co-op mode. Many have labeled the co-op as just "OK," but in my experience, it is a lot of fun taking on the baddies with a partner. At least Team Ninja listened to the fans and included some form of online component, which they can only expand on for the 3rd game, which is still officially unannounced. Simply put, if you're a Ninja Gaiden fan or fan of action games, and have a PS3 this will not disappoint. It's arguably the best action game on the console, at least in my opinion. At least for 2009.Read full review
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is an immensely satisfying action game. If you enjoy a good challenge it offers plenty of content to keep you happy. Beating the game will take a few days, but mastering the escalating difficulty levels could take weeks, or in my case, many months of enjoyable practice. IGN Ratings for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3) 8.0 Presentation The storyline is nonsense but that’s secondary to the beauty of the overall package. 8.0 Graphics It’s a shame the occasional screen tearing interrupts this otherwise excellent visual display. 8.0 Sound The music is appropriately dramatic but fades to the background against the screams of dying ninjas and the clash of swords. 8.5 Gameplay Some bosses are repetitive and fighting the camera can be painful, but you won’t find many action games that stand up to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 in terms of overall quality. 8.5 Lasting Appeal This is a meaty adventure, and one that is worth repeating. 8.4 Impressive OVERALL by IGN.com http://ps3.ign.com/articles/102/1027436p1.html This game is selling at a reasonable price at: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Mariio128-GamemateRead full review
This is a great game similar to Ninja Gaiden 2 for the XBOX 360. The first Buddha boss was unforgiving challenging, where it's hard to get an attack in. Unfortunately, they got rid of the blood despite being a mature rated game. The cinematic are stunning and excellent. A must buy for Ninja Gaiden and Action Adventure Open World fans.

I was referred this game by a friend of mine. He stated it was the most awesome game. After receiving the game, I can see why he said that. It definitely is a great game. It is Dynasty Warriors and Devil May Cry combined. You unlock various weapons and if you want to become a professional, it will take patience and time. There are many combinations to learn and techniques. The A.I is not made for you to just kill and get by, they are made to kill you and give you a "game over". It is a hard game, it might be difficult for others who don't have the patience to learn moves and just press buttons happily. This game emphasizes how important blocking is. It's a must play if you love third person action games.
Both the 360 and PS3 got Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, with the 360 having fabulous bloody gore and scenes with decapitations and bloody awesomeness, the PS3 got extra bosses and extra characters to use with more weapons, Ninja Gaiden is the type of series that reminds you why hack and slash games are awesome, Ninja gaiden is up there with Devil May Cry and God of War, the 3 giant slaying kings, Kratos, Dante and Ryu. This is an excellent game for those PS3 owners who were jealous of 360 owners who got it for the 360. I would have to say that even though the gore is heavily toned down in the PS3 version, and it's a little easier, and the projectiles are now unlimited, it's still a slightly superior remake. Just as equally good, in it's own way. a 5 stars out of 5 stars type of game.
