I don't have too much health either, I don't see how it can break the flow of the gameplay that much. For me those negatives points do not really bother. The worst problems with this PS3 version: framerate issues Input lagg I red a bit the forums, and people keep saying the Sigma version has a better framerate than NG2 Xbox I don't know, I havent played the Xbox version for a while, but I did not remember it to have so as much framerate issues as the PS3 version.
Framerate has problems in combat, and it become seven more noticeable during the killing mooves. The game is really laggy, I don't think I have ever played such a laggy game on PS3. But this is not the only problem, there is a significativ input lag. I just started again the first level of NG2 on Xbox, and I can tell the difference.
The game feels overhaul slower on PS3, and I don't like it. Sure it looks better, but fluidity is much more important for a Beat em All, and I think I will change my mind about which version of the game is better, just because of this issue.
Coop missions on PS3 are definitly not a goog point. It forces you to play with a dumb coop IA, that makes you lagg even more. The game is alwready lagging when you ar eplaying alone in the story mode, but just imagine the mess it creates when you have a second character performing the same mooves on the screen. It becomes unplayable.
I just finished 10 missions to get en extra costum, and I will never touch this game mode again, I'm done with it. I don't event want to imagine the mess it becomes online on top of that. I remember hating the Xbox version after finishing it for some reasons lol, maybe frustration. Less ennemies in encouters: this is not really a flaw in the game, it just makes it different, and this is a matter of taste. It's not the lower amount of enemies that breaks the flow, it's the fact that they have a lot of health as compensation.
In the version you can power through hordes of enemies in no time, but in Sigma 2 some rooms drag on and on because the few enemies take forever to kill. Incidentally, Ninja Gaiden 3 has the same problem.

I hated the PS3 censored version, because of the lack of gore, so I chose the Xbox version I prefer fewer ennemies, but stronger ones, instead of lots of weak ennemies.
I like hard bosses, but not cheap bosses, so the PS3 version was overall better un terms of gameplay and balance. Now I wonder if I would prefer Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 over Ninja Gaiden 2, even withtout the gore, which was the only thing preventing me from buying it. Now that I have finished Ninja Gaiden 2 on Xbox, I know that gameplay and balance is more important than having lots of blood, even if it is at the cost of having a censored version.
Does it spoil the pleasure of killing the ennemies with finish mooves? Ryu returns home, cautioning Sonia not to follow him. Heading to the mountain's summit, Ryu finds Genshin waiting for him at the crater's entrance and the two ninjas fight to the death. Genshin falls and Ryu leaps into Mount Fuji. Ryu fights past hordes of Fiends and singlehandedly defeats Zedonius, Volf, and Alexei, and rescues a captured Sonia.
He instructs her to stay put and to not move. Ryu heads into another room and finds a resurrected Genshin, transformed into a Fiend, and dispatches him. The mortally wounded Genshin hands him the cursed Blade of the Archfiend to use, and dies without regret for having allied with the Fiends. Ryu finishes her off, claiming the overlord had more to live for than she ever will. Traveling deeper into the Underworld, Ryu confronts Dagra Dai, who is nearly finished with the Archfiend's resurrection, and defeats him.
Ryu takes down the monstrosity and heads to the surface with Sonia, but a drop of his blood from an open wound accidentally spills onto the fiend and revitalizes Vazdah, who ascends to the summit in its true form. Amidst an erupting Mount Fuji, Ryu squares off with the Archfiend in a climatic duel to decide humanity's fate and wins. Sonia and Ryu reunite and climb to the top of the mountain, sharing the sunrise together.
In a post-credits scene, amongst a field with countless number of blades embedded into the ground, Ryu plants Genshin's Blade of the Archfiend into the ground and bows in respect for the Black Spider Ninja. The Dragon Ninja takes one last look back, noticing Kasumi from behind, before taking off into the fog. The game's native resolution became p, compared to the original p in the original Xbox version, with an increased use of bloom lighting effect.
As a trade off for increased resolution, the amount of on-screen action has been reduced in the PS3 version to keep the game running at an acceptable speed. Eurogamer pointed out that there are fewer enemies spawned at one time in the PS3 version of the game, and the developers "blatantly remove polygons in the Sigma edition in order to maintain frame-rate. Those who purchased the Collector's Edition of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 were treated to a comic version of the prologue, titled The Vampire War , and the original soundtrack.
Pre-ordering either edition at GameStop warranted a code for a special Sigma 2 costume, mildly resembling Joe Hayabusa's own outfit, which that costume along with others can be purchased from the PlayStation Store.
