The graphics look nicer, the projectile-spamming enemies aren’t nearly as pervasive, and there’s some additional content including bosses. Sigma 2 is actually a better game than its Xbox 360 version in some ways, though. For whatever reason, the blood option for Sigma 2 is not here.
Now, these versions of the Sigma games have much of the content from the PS Vita renditions, such as additional challenges and modes. The game’s PS Vita version somewhat alleviated that by adding the option to have blood instead of mist. The blood spray upon removing enemy limbs was also too much for the PS3 to handle, so that was replaced with a strange, purple mist.
As a result, far fewer enemies appear onscreen at once and they were made spongier. The game originally released on the Xbox 360, and the PS3 couldn’t do some of the same things. The reasons that Ninja Gaiden II is preferred are much simpler. Also, the additional playable character’s chapters are mandatory and, well, not all that great, nor is the character herself. It also made some changes to the game’s balance, including removing some boss weaknesses. So why do fans prefer Ninja Gaiden Black? Mostly because Sigma 1 cuts out content, including puzzles and some fights. Sigma 1, a further version of the first game, released on the PlayStation 3 with better character models, an extra playable character, and some bonus content. If you’re not familiar with all of the hullabaloo, though, it’s easy to break down. There’s plenty to enjoy from the Sigma variants, and even Razor’s Edge is a solid title. To be clear, all three of these are good games. Instead, the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection contains both Ninja Gaiden Sigma games and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, the significantly reworked version of the third game. The installments that fans actually wanted were undoubtedly Ninja Gaiden Black, an enhanced version of the 2004 original, and Ninja Gaiden II, the sequel that took the mayhem to new heights. What’s here, then? Versions of all three 3D Ninja Gaiden games. But the series honestly deserved a lot better, and I’m not buying the excuses as to why it couldn’t get it. Instead, it’s a few bare minimum ports of the lesser versions of two of the world’s greatest action games, plus the not-as-awful version of Ninja Gaiden 3, Razor’s Edge. Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is not a definitive compilation. They have tight, rewarding mechanics, extremely high skill ceilings, and some of the most murderous enemies in the medium. Regardless, they’re two of the best action games you can find anywhere. The first two Ninja Gaiden games are not perfect.
