    Unfortunately, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is far too much Ninja Gaiden Sigma and not enough Plus, and it just doesn't fly all these years later. Only purists will truly appreciate what's in-store.

    You've probably played this game before. If you haven't, you probably don't want to, and this isn't the best version to start on. It doesn't add enough for old fans or do enough to reel in new players.

  1. Brilliant Game for the Vita I am one of the few that missed this the first time round I was never an xbox fan; PS1, PS2, PC and PS3 although i have seen the light and got a 360 eventually roll on next gen Its a tough game but you can get by with less skill and persistence. The game tests you and lets you develop your skills regularly adding upgrades/weapons/moves. Each fight can be fatal in a dark souls kinda way maybe not quite that tough but us old skool gamers like a challenge!

    Action, fighting, combos, good boss fights, whacky story very minor camera issues and unnecessary touchscreen stuff but this does not detract form an A* game which you can really tell was made to the highest standard when it was developed. Worth a play for anyone currently one of the best Vita titles.

    It's very challenging, but very fun. It'll keep gamers occupied for a long time. The graphics are great, the mechanics are great, and Ryu is very responsive. Full Review »
  3. Same great game I remember for the Xbox. Great graphics and smooth gameplay. Difficulty meant for an old school gamer that is used to really being skilled at a game in order to pass it. Camera works way better than it did back on Xbox. Have had a blast revisiting and enjoying the great work done on this remake of a classic game. If you are up for a challenge this is definitely the game for you. Full Review »
