However, if you already own the Xbox game, getting Sigma may not make you completely happy unless you're a hardcore nut for the game; I say this as Sigma is just a dolled up version of the original with some perks (i.e. playability with Rachel)...
That being said, if you have not played the original, then this game is a must-buy. And from that standpoint, it is also IMO the best PS3 game out there right now. The graphics are superb and the controls are fantastic.
Mind you, I am rather selective of my PS3 titles as this is just my 4th game (I own Resistance, Formula 1, and Virtua Tennis).

I would have to agree with everyone here. NG is one of the best games out for PS3 right now. I had it for the xbox beat it on hard, and still went out and got this. I can see some differnces with level design. I found it kind of fun looking and saying wait that wasent there before. I also picked up rainbow six, good game as well.

And no, you can't finish it in Ninja Dog mode.

Actually, I enjoy almost all the weapons in the game. But, wait until you get the bladed-nunchucks (forgot their name).

Once you are out, use the Flying Sparrow as best you can...if she blocks...roll. And remember, keep those health flasks handy. You can do it!

Like I said, hard enough to be an end-boss.
Heck, Murai as a first boss was pretty danged hard for an inexperienced player.

That stage was not fun with the branch-swinging and wall-runs.
