FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

Tecmo announced today the impending release of three new downloadable survival modes for the definitive action adventure game, Ninja Gaiden Sigma. Available only on the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system, the first of the three downloadable modes will be released on the PLAYSTATION Network on August 30, 2007 at a price of $2.99.

Extending the critically acclaimed gameplay experience, the new battle-oriented survival modes feature three different themes: Weapon Master, Speed Master and Rachel Master. In the Weapon Master mode, the player must master their chosen weapon to fight off relentless enemy attacks. Choices are limited, so choose wisely. Speed Master, available the latter half of September, features a theme of speed. Players must defeat enemies as quickly as possible as both life and time are limited. The ability to move quickly in this acrobatic stage is the key to success. Available the latter half of October, Rachel Master features five survival battles where the player controls Rachel. Only the winner of these battles can claim to be the best Fiend Hunter. Rachel’s new hair style also becomes available with this download.

Critically acclaimed and world renowned, Ninja Gaiden has evolved once again for the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system. Featuring more ninja content than ever, Sigma offers new weapons and combos, new enemies and bosses, new stages and missions, and, for the first time, Rachel the Fiend Hunter as a playable character.
