Ninja, reflexes and merciless difficulty: from the NES trilogy to the 3D reboot, Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden is a benchmark for pure action. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Ultimate Ninja Gaiden version with two extra difficulty levels, exclusive missions and bonus content. Even more demanding than the original. The definitive version of one of the greatest action games ever made. Essential for every original Xbox owner."
"Ninja Gaiden Sigma is the PS3 port of the Xbox masterpiece with Ryu Hayabusa at his peak. Ultra-technical and fast action, legendary difficulty, memorable bosses, new content with Rachel. An action genre peak."
"Team Ninja/Tecmo Xbox-exclusive action masterpiece. Ryu Hayabusa against the shadows in a combat system of rare depth and fluidity. Difficult but fair. One of the greatest action games ever made, full stop."
"The European version of Ninja Gaiden under the title Shadow Warriors. Same excellence as the American original: revolutionary cutscenes, frantic action, unique dark atmosphere."
"The European version of Ninja Gaiden II. Same trilogy peak as the original: even more dramatic cutscenes, refined mechanics. Essential in any version."
