Both Devil May Cry series and Ninja Gaiden series are popular but which series do you prefer? What is your favorite games in either series. Devil May Cry 4 is the only DMC game I have played and I have not yet played a Ninaj Gaiden game. Would you recommend I get Ninja Gaiden Sigma or wait for Ninja Gaiden 2? I have both PS3 and XBox 360 and will get a Nintendo Wii when Mario Kart Wii is out.

I prefer Ninja Gaiden. Indeed, Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword for the DS will be the next game I purchase.

I prefer devil may cry series over the (recent) ninja gaiden series due to the simple fact that there has been 3/4 good DMC games to just 1 good NG game. im not sure if the DS game is any good or if it even links to the story in the first. Im however willing to bet that NG2 will be better than DMC4. but DMC3 is still the best of the DMC bunch for me.

the old school ninja gaiden games were great.

Get sigma before NG2 so you can find out if you even like NG. Sigma was great so might as well start there.

Hmm, well the only version of NG I have played is Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and I played the original Devil May Cry but can hardly remember it, as well as now DMC4.

So in a comparison of NGS and DMC4 i would say NGS probably just edges it. I love both because the extreme levels of difficulty make for a very high level of satisfaction when you beat the tougher difficulties (just making my way through DMD mode now, it's great when each level is beaten). The main points are that there are greater differences in the main game when you play through Hard, Very Hard and Master Ninja in NGS than when you go through Son of Sparda, Hell or Hell and Dante Must Die in DMC4: i.e. New bosses and new varieties of enemies. The other main point is that I think Mission Mode in NGS is better than Bloody Palace in DMC4, although that may be just because BP seems the harder of the two and when (if) I get a decent way through it I may change my mind.

Some smaller points include Ryu having more weapons and therefore more moves than Nero and Dante combined, and also the fiend challenges dotted throughout the game (which also change with each difficulty) are a great addition. A trivial point is that less people play NGS so if you beat VH or MN you will be part of a much more exclusive club lol, when I beat Master Ninja at the end of last summer I was one of only 165, not including those who didn't upload a score.

That must sound like I much prefer NGS, but DMC4 has infinitely better cutscenes (the voice acting is hilarious and the action is just amazing) and also Nero's Exceed System provides an almost limitless possibility of improvement of your scores.

Oh and in my opinion you should definitely get NGS before NGII.

Thanks for the suggestions I will give Ninja Gaiden Sigma a go before I get Ninja Gaiden 2. Of the DMC series I heard that all of them are good games except for Devil May Cry 2 which was a huge let down in the series.

i would say Ninja Gaiden because i'm getting it for the ds

I don't like either of those games. I prefer a more open game.

I'm not too fond of either but I would have to go with DMC.

Ninja Gaiden. DMC is garbage.
