Игра Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus

Taking up the way of the ninja is to accept a life of constant challenge and sacrifice, as death dealing is a ninja’s foremost priority. While many will try, very few will ever hold the necessary skills it takes to walk this path alone. Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus has slashed its way onto PlayStation Vita as a launch title and puts the skills of the ninja right into the palm of your hands, but staying true to its form, few will have what it takes to survive.

The power of PlayStation Vita can put a home console gaming experience right into the palms of your hands and Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus brings the blazingly fast hardcore action that we’ve come to expect from the series onto Sony’s new portable powerhouse. Whether you’re new to the series or training for Ninja Gaiden III, NGSP challenges you to journey down the deadly path of the ninja.

The original Ninja Gaiden has seen more re-releases and special editions than some Capcom fighters. Ryu Hayabusa has been on almost every system since Team Ninja resurrected the series back in 2004, so why should the Vita be any different? Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is the latest version of the original masterpiece, and for the ten of you who haven’t played it; it could easily be the best one yet. Sure there isn’t much here we haven’t seen over the past eight years in other forms, but this is still one of the best action games of the past decade.

+ Awesome action in your hands + Fast-paced + Looks fantastic + Plenty of content

A good console launch always brings a variety of games, and the launch of the PS Vita is no different. Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is a slightly enhanced port of a PS3 game that was an enhanced port of Ninja Gaiden Black, an Xbox game that was a director's cut of the original Xbox game released in 2004. Despite being a game that is essentially eight years old, it stands the test of time and delivers plenty of challenge and action.

At its core, Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus is an excellent action game for the new Vita. The main game is still fun, and the combat, while difficult to master, is very satisfying once you've tamed it. Adding Hero mode makes things easier, but the game remains challenging if you go with this easier difficulty level. Even though the graphics have aged, they still look fresh on the console, and the music is just as good as it was before. It isn't a perfect port, though, with the missing Japanese vocal track and frame rate dropped to 30 instead of 60. Unless you're a big enough fan of the series and need to collect every version, it'll be difficult to convince owners of Ninja Gaiden Black or Ninja Gaiden Sigma to fork over money for a few more challenges and the ability to take the game on the go. However, if you've never played the game or have only been exposed to the original release on the Xbox, you need to play this title before delving into Ninja Gaiden III later this year.

A superb game no matter how you -- or Ryu Hayabusa -- slices it.

To the summary...

The core experience was released eight years ago on the Xbox and it was great then and it's still a great game now. Certainly this version is different from the original, and the two versions in between then and now. The Vita-exclusive controls work fine, but I didn't find them necessary, personally. The Ninja Trials are neat, but my favorite addition for Plus is the Hero mode. It's wonderfully smooth and crisp on the Vita. It may not have all of the technical bells and whistles new AAA production games have, but it still looks and plays fantastic, especially for a handheld. Audio is also very good, but doesn't make the same impression as the graphics in this case. Any action fan should play this one, but if you already bought and played Sigma, the differences here are marginal. If you're like me and never finished Sigma, this is even better, and of course newcomers to the Vita who have never experienced Ninja Gaiden will be blown away by this excellent game. The infamous difficulty is still here, but you can play on Easy or better yet, Hero Mode. It's enjoyable no matter how you play it.
