Ninja Gaiden 3

Product Description

Team NINJA's most iconic character is set to be unmasked to the world. One of the most well-known killing machines, Ryu Hayabusa's name and legacy resonates with people the world over. And yet, there is so much that the world does not know about the mysterious man behind the ninja mask. Ninja Gaiden 3 aims to take players on a journey with their hero Hayabusa once more, but this time they'll see more from their protagonist than they ever imagined. For the first time in the beloved series, players will get a look at the world through Hayabusa's torn eyes, and find out what drives him to fight, defend and kill. At the center of the conflict this time around is a masked man whose motivations and goals are unclear. Over the course of the game, more is explained and unraveled which will keep players mesmerized. Through mysterious powers, which is seen through his arm, Hayabusa finds himself changing - and the lines between hero and villain, good and evil, are blurred forever. Featuring a new story, new gameplay and new modes, Ninja Gaiden 3 marks a new direction in this fan-favorite franchise. Team NINJA will change the way fans think about ninjas and Hayabusa in this evolutionary game, and promises a heightened feeling and experience during close combat fighting - the act of cutting through an enemy will prompt an unusual visceral sensation. The game will also feature online multiplayer, both co-op and competitive, that will add a completely new experience to the Ninja Gaiden series. The shadowy world of ninja has never been presented this way, and Ninja Gaiden will never be the same! Pick up the Dragon Sword once more, sharpen its blade and hone your skills. An adventure unlike any other awaits you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not horrible, but not worth $60, March 20, 2012
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Ninja Gaiden 3 (Video Game)
Had this pre-ordered and popped it in first thing when I got home.

After experiencing what Ninja Gaiden has built itself into since it was first released on the original XBOX, it pains me to say that this Ninja Gaiden is very disappointing. Each installment (including the Sigmas) just got more and more incredible, adding new weapons, missions, playable characters, etc. This game takes all that away. While there are trials (similar to missions), and while there is supposed to be some extra weapons added via DLC at a later date, this game just feels like it has more than abandoned the momentum of the series.

I won't spoil the story, but let me just say I found it to be just as much (if not more) of a throwaway tale as NG2. Combat is much easier on Normal Mode than ever before (you can pretty much just mash square to dispatch most enemies), but a Hard mode is available right from the start for NG fans looking to maximize their challenge on the first play through...

1.0 out of 5 stars Disaster, March 23, 2012
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Ninja Gaiden 3 (Video Game)
Most fans of this franchise will already know why my review and subsequent reviews are rating this game poorly. In an attempt to make Ninja Gaiden his own, Hayashi-san has stripped everything out of last generations Ninja Gaiden games, leaving nothing but a hollow, empty shell. Multiple weapons are out the window (yes I know future DLC, regardless that is trash design), terrible level design, shallow gameplay, horrendous story, and otherworldy creatures rarely make an appearance. In fact I would have been fine if they took all this out and filled the void left over with something worthwhile. The fact is that they stripped all these features and have nothing else to show for this game. Even the original score sounds scaled back. I fear for the future of this franchise. Avoid this game until it drops to $20.

1.0 out of 5 stars They've destroyed such a good series, March 25, 2012
= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Ninja Gaiden 3 (Video Game)
This game truly upsets me! :(

I've played (own) NG1, NGblack, NG Sigma, NG 2, NG Sigma 2 (but haven't beaten Sigma 2 yet.)
I've only played through 2 boards of 3, and I like some new things...BUT why did they remove so many of the features that made all the previous versions so good!!?

Multiple essence orbs (money, health, ninpo) gone. Muramasa with weapons, upgrades, items...gone! How about the ability to walk around a board and find stuff (maybe hidden areas)...gone. So far it is a one track direction.

I pre-ordered this game, with the idea that such a successful franchise (even without Tomonoba Itagaki) just had to create new levels, new story, maybe add or modify some weapons and boom, continue the greatness like before! Instead they removed most of what made the others great...why!? Did they honestly feel this lived up to the name when testing it!?

I've only played through 2 levels. Maybe I haven't played long enough. But I... Read more
