CheatCC says, "Players expecting a wildly different experience from what was featured in Ninja Gaiden II will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you've been holding out to play this game on the PS3, you'll be happy to know that your patience has been rewarded. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 has enough extra content and polish to make it the hands down, definitive version of the game."
Tough as nails, solid as a brick, and as annoying as a rooster at dawn—this list has it all. Here are the hardest PS3 games.
This list has nine games....
And if these are the "hardest", that's a bit alarming because I'm pretty average and I've managed to 100% more than a third of this list (Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Hard Corps Uprising, and Catherine).
Grab your katana, and slice your way through this list featuring the best hack and slash games the PlayStation 3 had to offer.
Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.
I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.
I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.
Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.
Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.
Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?
I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.
heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.
I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
Great score. Much better than IGNorant's review.
Awesome score. I've never played any of the Ninja Gaiden games so i'll definitely be picking this one up.
Loved Σ1, the NGΣ2 Demo was awesome too. Will pick this up eventually.
Why did they get rid of the blood from this game?
of course, you won't get a wildly different experience from what was featured in Ninja Gaiden II
is it better than Ninja Gaiden II, though? yes, and the score should reflect that.
that's why it's BS that IGN score Sigma 2 lower than the orignal with their lame excuse that games look better now. no, it does not. Sigma 2 looks better than Batman AA, for example, which got a 9 for graphics.
