'ello GB community. I just came back from playing the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on my PS3. after playing through two levels, i just had to come up and tell somebody. first off, let me sum up what i thought of this demo in 3 words. 
 
ABSOLUTE FUCKING BLAST  
 
yup, that's it. the demo was fucking awesome. now excuse if i'm over reacting because I haven't played the second Ninja Gaiden on the x360 and i'm only on Chapter 7 in Sigma 1, but it was so much fun. I was jumping and yelling obscenities while fucking up a bunch of ninja dudes. i only start jumping and yelling when i play something really awesome.  
 
it started off with some chick in a bar getting taken away by all these ninja dudes, then Ryu Hayabusa (i think that's how you spell it) comes out of nowhere and fucks up a bunch of dudes, which is where i take control. holy hell the graphics are pretty damn awesome. the water looks sexy and the game is pleasing to the eye. i happen to be in some japanese metropolis fighting dudes on a bunch of rooftops. the controls were super responsive which is needed in a game like Ninja Gaiden. i'm currently playing through the first Sigma on PS3 so i was fucking everyone up and never died (yay me :D). i was slashing dudes up for about 10 mins and going through the little tutorial they have, then i meet my first boss. a fucking huge ass statue dude that's destorying a bunch of buildings.  
 
holy shit, at this point i was impressed x2 cause this is some crazy God of War shit they have going on. the boss was easy (ofc) and after jumping on his face and slashing him up. it was all over.  
 
at this point, i thought i had the most fun i've ever had in a demo in so long.   
 
oh? what's this? i unlocked AYANE?!   
 
fer' anyone that doesn't know, Ayane is the girl in my pic. i loved her in the DOA series but i didn't know she was in the demo.. sweet. let's try this out.  
 <------ lolwut fucked up pic (bug? o_o) 
 
one thing that i liked about Ayane, is that she was super fast and had awesome moves. that's no different in Sigma 2.  i had twice as much fun playing as Ayane as i did Ryu, she was super fast and her moves were really really fun to watch. it was exicting. there's nothing that i can say about Ayane's level that i didn't say about Ryu's levels. it was alot of fun.  
 
after beating Ayane's level, i unlocked "TEAM MISSIONS". i didn't try that yet cause i came up here to write this. there's only one complaint i had about the demo. the BLOOD. as many of you might (or might not) know, Ninja Gaiden 2 was gory as all f*cking hell. Sigma 2, is not. the gore has been toned down ALOT and most of the gore has been replaced with purple mist. i could deal with this, but it'll be hard to get used to since seeing all the moves these guys do, must of had alot of fucking gore in Ninja Gaiden II. maybe i'll pick it up when i get my 360  
 
please, download this demo. NOW.

Pretty weak that they toned down the gore. Maybe they're going for a Teen rating? Don't see how they would get it, I mean there are enemies in the game that attack by throwing the bodies of their fallen comrades at you for crying out loud...

Just found out about the demo being up so I'm about to go download it, can't wait to play it. I beat NG II on 360 and loved it so I imagine this one will be that much better. You really need to finish Sigma 1, that game is amazing.

Yeah, I was just googling and I saw that quote from the director. What a non reason... Disappointing.

it's still rated M. they said that they wanted to tone down the gore because they wanted to focus more on the story or some shit like that. that's just a bad reason to tone down gore because the story itself sucks  "

i'm on chapter 7 or 8 right now and it's really fucking hard. i'm loving it but it makes me want to throw my controller everytime. i'm fighting some huge dinosaur bone thing and it's pretty hard. it's so satisfying though. i can't wait to finish it so i can play NGS II  "

I think that the real reason they toned down the gore is just to send a big middle finger to Itagaki because his vision of the game was to be the goriest thing ever. "

 To be honest I never really cared about the decision to use less gore in the game, but I gotta admit after playing that demo I think gore would have been the better option. Seeing that purple shit spewing out of them was just silly. I'm picking up an xbox soon anyway. I'll just play it then.

Ayane is fucking beast in this game.

I loved the demo just like I loved Sigma 1. Here's what happened when I played the demo.... 
 
"Oh, that's Racheal.............she gets kidnapped. OMG! Hey that guy just died. Where's Ryu? Alright I'm in control now. HOLY FUCKING SHIT I have 4 weapons I can use and they're all awesome. DIE YOU FUCKERS DIE! Gore is kind of toned down. Why do these talon weapons I'm using have loads of blood on them and the gore is toned down?" 
 
A save point later 
 
"The save points heal you once now. Cool."  
 
You get it now. So then I unlock Ayane. 
 
In short she's awesome and fun to use.

It makes sense that they have less blood though. You're fighting Fiend Ninjas not humans.

Maybe the gore is only toned down in the demo?
