I don’t know who Tecmo thinks it’s kidding, but removing the blood does not make for a classier game. For a game that was taking itself more seriously than it should have, the buckets of blood served as a dose of much-needed silliness and helped to give the game a sense of gratuitous charm.

In the original NG2, players could paint the floors and walls in the claret of their enemies, as rent limbs and decapitated necks would spray beautiful fountains of the stuff in all directions. The jiggly boobs is but one of the aesthetic changes made to Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, the most dramatic of which is the severe toning down of the gore. That’s not even considering the fact that one of the women whose breasts you can manipulate is supposed to be fourteen-years-old. Tecmo gets points for the creativity of its sexism, but the delivery leaves a lot to be desired. Like two jello cups in the wind, they barely even move and the way do move is kind of creepy and unsettling. Let’s get the most important thing out of the way first: The boob jiggling in this game is absolutely bloody stupid.

Sporting new characters, online co-op and a number of visual tweaks, is Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 the ultimate version of Ryu Hayabusa’s ridiculous journey around the world, or are Xbox 360 users missing out on nothing spectacular? Read on as we put this game through it’s paces … and jiggle some boobs with our SIXAXIS.

Ninja Gaiden 2 has been an Xbox 360 exclusive for well over a year, but as usual, Tecmo has been waiting in the wings to produce Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, a PS3 version of that annoying-but-somewhat-awesome sequel in which a ninja flips out and starts kicking the crap out of demons for no sensible reason. Still, no matter how irritating the game gets, one can’t deny it’s a finely crafted experience, and can be quite empowering in the hands of a skilled player. Personally, I feel Ninja Gaiden relies instead on being “annoying” rather than “challenging,” but that’s just me. When people think of ridiculously difficult action games, they tend to gravitate instantly toward Ninja Gaiden.
