Wait until Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 comes out. You will yet become a believer in the ways of the Ninja Gaiden 2....

NG2 had A LOT of slowdown, much more than Sigma did. It's camera was way worse because it focused on directly on Ryu this time, so it was a lot harder to trach down other ninjas. If you ever went to the Gamefaqs forums, you'd have seen that other users had problems with glitches too. One of the stages I was on, I had to restart the game because because fiend that I was suspose to shoot down with an arrow had got stuck and I couldn't go anywhere until all of them were killed.

NG2's water fights were just awful. I'm talking Wii-like awful. The Boss fights in Sigma were much more fun and challenging. I'll never forget Alma EVER. And the Doku fight was amazing.

Alma was annoying, not fun. Hence where the phrase 'Fucking Alma' came from.

NG2 didn't have that much slowdown. In all my play times I've only always had slowdown in 2 parts in the game, and its always the same two parts--near the end when you fight the 100 basic ninjas all at the same time when climbing the stairs to Elizabet, and during the second level when crossing the bridge in the rain and your bombarded by the purple demons. Other then that, I've never noticed it if it happens; I guess even the slowdown runs smoothly. I've never had any problems with the camera in the Ninja Gaiden series whatsoever, because there is a 'snap the samera behind you' button that you dont need to move your hand to use. So I can't complain about the camera, since every NG has had the exact same camera for me. The thing was that Ninja Gaiden 2 had much more precise controls then Black and Sigma did, so the camera wouldn't even have been as much a problem if you know what direction to aim in.

NG2's water fights were a single level, and not even half of that level. There was the uber annoying water dragon fight and canal fight with the silverfish. The silverfish were cake, so the only real annoyance was the water dragon and the damn ghost pirhana. But really, 1 fight in the game over water isn't enough for me to be able to complain about; at least they made the fight easier then most bosses, though still a pain in the ass.

1080p at 60 FPS... I prefer Sigma over the original (and Black). but it's still Ninja Gaiden with a layer of HD... but that doesn't mean you should skip it. and I prefer the DS3 controller over the 360 controller.
