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.

Just pick up NG Black...it can be had for cheap these days. And besides, finishing it is a rite of manhood.
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).

I suppose, if you die enough, the game downgrades you to Ninja Dog, right? Or has that been taken outta Sigma...?

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.
