I recently picked this up for my Xbox 360 and it's a pretty fun game lol. Some of the attacks are pretty crazy... over all it's been an enjoyable game so far. Anyone else play or own this?

I use to own it, a friend bought it from me, it was a pretty fun game.

I thought you meant this:

Lol, I had heard there was an older version of this series before... I would love to play it but I don't think I'd be able to find it anywhere lol

Yea, I've beaten all of the older Ninja Gaiden games. Now I'm workin on the newer ones. Good games!

I've played through Sigma 1 on PS3 and LOVED it. I also beat Dragon Sword on the DS and loved that one as well. Such ingenious gameplay!! Am looking forward to Sigma 2 on the PS3 as soon as the price goes down, $60 is just too much for what a typical game is worth if you're paying for it yourself.
A nice little snub how PS3 owners sort of just wait a little longer yet get a more refreshed and upped version of NG games.

I thought he meant that too . Ive beaten the 1st Ninja Gaiden for NES, I own 2 and 3 and mean to play them, but 2 is really freakin hard to beat.

I also have Dragon Sword, and Ninja Gaiden Black for Xbox, havent played them either, as im a purist and want to beat the old series 1st.

The original game designer of Ninja Gaiden Black for the Xbox up to Sigma for the PS3 quit Tecmo and a new designer led for NG2 and NG Sigma 2 for the xbox and ps3. Am playing through sigma 2 right now and definitely not as good as with the old lead designer. The PS3 version for some reason is pretty much bloodless (which takes away from the enjoyment lots more than I thought it would) and characters feel less heavy and more "cheap" feeling, the gameplay is way more linear and the difficulty factor is not there like before.

I have a demo of the first one. I could never figure out how to beat it though, I was just stuck in one place. But that could have just been where the demo ends, I don't know. I got really annoyed with it.

I think that's just where the demo ended, the original Sigma is one of the PS3's greatest games, don't pass it up because of a little demo problem

Me too! I was all set to talk about the classic (which I STILL have for NES), and then....letdown. LOL, oh well, I have the newer Ninja Gaiden Black for XBOX, maybe when I eventually get a 360 I'll snag that one too
