But more importantly Ninja Gaiden 2 released on XBox 360 back in June 2008. The XBox 360 owners have played this game for over 18 months  before the PS3 owners finally get the game. It does not matter really the PS3 game is better in terms of graphics and whatever. In my opinion: 18 month wait for a game is a long time. The developers had longer time to work on a delayed PS3 version of the game?

I don't really mind waiting for a game to come out on PS3. Usually this means the devs have more time to take advatage of the Blu-ray format and the hardware on the PS3. It's always like getting the Ultimate Version or Director's Cut.

I am kinda curious to see if this version sells more copies, not that it matters.

Was not ninja gaiden sigma 1 also way sharper and brighter than the 360 version? I read something about them not porting the game but making the game again for the ps3. Obviously, if they do not port ps3 version will be much better.

Not a multiplatform release, it's a remake.

If it didn't look better, it would be laughed off the forums.

That said, if they didn't fix the camera, it's all moot. The 360 version was shite, and shite don't shine, no matter how much you rub it.

Since it's called Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, not Ninja Gaiden 2. Since it adds a ton of new content, and fixes multiple problems with the original game. Since it adds functionality, as well as new gameplay mechanics and better graphics.

It's not a port because Tecmo says it's not a port. Technically, this is Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma, and another game was called Ninja Gaiden 2.

It's not a multiplatform release, because it's not the same game.

And the graphics are not comparable, because the graphics running off the same code. They've been polished over a year.

When ssj12 said that "this time around" the PS3>360, in most peoples minds, it implied that a multiplatform game looked better on the PS3 this time around.

However, the fact that the developers remade and renamed the game, as well as revamped many aspects of it over the course of a year, might have a little something to do with that implication seeming misleading to the common entheusiast.

Just like Ninja Gaiden Sigma was a PS3 exclusive, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 is a PS3 exclusive, and the reason this game is so much better on the PS3 is because it was remade over the course of a year, and nearly every aspect of it has changed for the better in the remake.

Other examples of different games that aren't ports, but instead enhanced exclusives:

Ninja Gaiden Sigma

God of War PS3 remakes

You can offhandedly call it a multiplatform title that looks better on the PS3, but that isn't correct. Could be considered spin.

Sigma 2 looks great! Better lighting, textures, richer colors, etc. Less than 2 weeks to go to play the complete version of Ninja Gaiden 2. Can't wait.

The graphics do look nicer but not that much of a improvement for 18 months extra development time. The main visual upgrades are the vibrant lighting with the warm glow and higher resolution textures on nearly everything, mostly on Ryu Hayabusa. Everything looks sharper also.

It will be good if they fix the slowdown but none of us know yet. There aren't enough enemies to crowd the screen on chapter I.

I probably won't purchase it again simply because the PS3 controller is a pile of trash (IMO). The controller is to light, creaks and bends and you need decent analog sticks and triggers for a Ninja Gaiden game. The PS1 and PS2 joypad was so much better. I wouldn't be too suprised if the difficulty was made easier either. I already beat Ninja Gaiden II on MNM.

If I can pick up a Xbox 360 controller adapter for the Ps3 cheap I may buy it again.

I may not be able to make Ayane/Rachel/Sonia's boobs bounce up and down with it but that's not the reason I purchase Ninja Gaiden. I buy it to dice up Ninja's/Demon's in the most awesome, spectacular way!

PS3 version looks sharper, but I'd be deeply disturbed if it didn't look better.

I take it you haven't played Ninja Gaiden Black then. Since most people that has played both Sigma and Black will tell you that black is better. Sigma added stuff that sucks and cant be skipped, changed some parts of the game that was actually good into something worse, so no Sigma is not the "ultimate version". Sigma 2 will be better than NG2 though (i hope) since NG2 was laking everything but gore and difficulty. They usually need a extra year to perfect it, with NG1 it was black this time around is probably Sigma 2.

Hmm.. I have both but I have only played sigma. I think it "looks" better and is less difficult than black so probably better for me. Its difficulty level is what most people like about it.

I would much rather have a game where I am not inclined to throw my gamepad every five minutes :).
