I'm picking up a PS3 this weekend most likely and was looking around for some cheap games to stock up on and I was pondering Ninja Gaiden Sigma and I was wondering if its worth getting for people who already played Ninja Gaiden Black on the Xbox, like is there enough new content or change to warrant a purchase of Sigma?
Also completely unrelated to NGS but outside of MGS4 and CoD4 what are some good online titles with good cummunities. I already got CoD4 for 360 and I've heard too many different opinions on MGO to trust it as my sole multiplayer title so I wanted to pick another one up.

I played Ninja Gaiden Black, and after reading the reviews for Sigma here on Giant Bomb, I decided to pass on it.  I picked up Ninja Gaiden II for the 360 instead.

Ninja gaiden Sigma is better than black with the improvements they made in all honesty, regardless of what Itagaki thought of it. NG2 is definitely more fun though imo...slicing guys into little pieces is just satisfying.

I say get Sigma and get Ninja Gaiden 2.  You can't go wrong that way.

I don't think there is a Tecmo anymore. :(

I hear from many people Sigma is better than NG2, it's $30 anyway so it's a win win situation.

It ultimately comes down to whether you place more importance on overall polish or combat.  Sigma is NG:Black in HD which is by no means a bad thing (except for the shitty Rachel missions).  NG2's combat greatly improves on Black's, but brings a whole mess of bugs with it.  Not to mention 2's master ninja mode is wayyyy more unbalanced than Black's.

According to GameRankings, NG2 currently has a flat 82.0% average, while Sigma has an 86.7%. The following big name sites/magazines have igher averages of Sigma than NG2: Gamespot, IGN, 1up, EGM, GI, Gamespy, etc...and as I said, I have also heard from multiple people (friends, family), that they enjoyed NGS more.

And I never said NG2 wasn't awesome, I'm just stating my situation."

If you buy them in bulk it's cheaper.

If you don't mind frustrating, hardcore games. Get this. Great challenge.

I wonder how much Gspot was paid to give Sigma a 9."

If you already have played NGB don't worry about getting Sigma...sure there are improvements like an added Mission mode and the Rachel Missions but you're really not missing all that much.

On the subject of good multiplayer games with good communities I'm shocked no one has mentioned Warhawk.  You should try that out.

Sigma wasn't a huge leap from Black, NG2 is a much better option.
