I'll look into it, but I heard it was essentially a port and I'm not that into pure action games to begin with. Truthfully I don't know much about either 360/PS3 'cause I haven't put the time into it seeing as how I won't be getting either until I get an HDTV which won't be for at least another year. |
The graphical increase is easily noticeable on a normal TV. This myth that you have to have an HDTV to enjoy the graphical enhancements really annoys me. I've seen the games on both and even if they do look better on HD they still look significantly better on SDTVs compared to last gen. To me, it's worth getting the system and then getting an HDTV later to enjoy it even more, but HDTV really isn't necessary.
Anyway, Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a lot more than a straight port. They have completely redone the graphics and added new moves and weapons (including twin katanas). Also, instead of 15 there are now 18 levels (or it was 16 and it's now 19) because there is a new playable character in Rachel with a completely new move set. Ninja Gaiden was already arguably the best action game, with the only close competitors being God of War (or now God of War 2) and Devil May Cry 3. Despite the graphical enhancements, the game will still run at 60fps.

Seriously, though, I've been really excited about this game since I saw it on the cover of PSM. And just like Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, if you haven't played it before this is a great chance to do so. Unlike Oblivion, though, a lot of content was added in.
