3/5 ★ – njja02's review of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.

The interesting thing I find about Sigma 2 is that I find it to be a good introduction to "Ninja Gaiden II (NG2)". Not a good introduction to the true NG2 experience, but good in allowing me to ease into its combat model. This version is much easier and it allowed me to fully grasp the combat controls and the intricacies of each weapon. That's the problem though, the changes in this version (i.e. fewer enemy spawns) are not restored on higher difficulties. So although this was a good way for me to understand and appreciate the combat of NG2, it was the inferior way to develop a true bond with that combat model...
