Ninja Gaiden 3
Previous Ninja Gaiden games assumed you were a master swordsman. They gave you the tools to succeed and expected you to use them, having you bounding from walls before plunging a sharp blade into your enemies' bowels in a series of dizzying attacks. The challenge was steep but surmountable, and the thrilling acrobatics you witnessed onscreen were a direct result of your skill and finesse. Ninja Gaiden 3, on the other hand, has little faith in you. On medium difficulty, you don't need to do much but hammer on a few buttons and occasionally block or dodge, yet every last kill is a cinematic event. Where previous games rewarded you for how adeptly you manipulated the controller, this one rewards you for pressing X. Forgot how to climb a wall? Ninja Gaiden 3 reminds you every time. (Do yourself a favor and turn off tutorial prompts after the first few levels.) Was your mind boggled by having multiple weapons and ninpo attacks before? Never fear: Ninja Gaiden 3 gives hero Ryu Hayabusa only a single weapon and a single ninpo. If you came to this series for deep, challenging combat, be prepared: this is no longer your Ninja Gaiden.

If you're more interested in visual spectacle than combat depth, however, you'll find plenty of it here.
Ninja Gaiden 3
Fans of Ryu Hayabusa's last two adventures can't be blamed if they approach Ninja Gaiden 3 with a certain amount of skepticism. It's the first of the modern entries in the series that Tomonobu Itagaki hasn't been involved with. Moving away from the series' trademark difficulty, it promises to be more friendly to newcomers. It nixes decapitations and severed limbs in favor of general blade wounds. Many of the decisions made during Ninja Gaiden 3's development have raised the eyebrows of fans, and the end product is a mixed bag as a result.The first two 3D games in the series required razor-sharp reflexes, a healthy knowledge of useful combos, and the patience to endure countless deaths. Casual action fans understandably had issues completing these games, and Team Ninja has made good on its promise to make this sequel more newcomer-friendly. Hero mode is a new setting that turns Ryu into an invincible dynamo once his health meter gets low. As I type this, I'm watching the ninja auto-evade grenades and blocking bullets with his sword while my controller sits untouched on my desk. This has been going on for a good 30 minutes, and there is no indication that Ryu can or will ever die.

Ninja Gaiden 3 feels like a departure from previous games in the series if only due to the fact that it feels much more forgiving in its difficulty. Combined with what attempts to be a focus on dramatic narrative, the toned down difficulty seems geared at pulling in a wider audience to travel the path of the ninja. The game repeatedly throws out the question to its players: Is Ryu Hayabusa a murderer or a hero? Sadly, the story never commits to one or the other, and even cites this fact itself. Fittingly, the actual game the tale is tied around suffers from this same problem of uncertain identity. The story in a nutshell is that Ryu is faced with the moral conflict of killing all of the people he kills, and the solution... is to just keep on killing people. Unlike the story of Kratos, however, who dives headfirst into this tragic spiral with gusto, Ryu's story sputters along in an ill attempt to make him out to be a brooding, tragic hero. Oh, and there are scientific experiments meant to destroy the world. While in the past, Ryu wielded a variety of weapons, he is limited to only the sword in this title, as well as a bow that feels very tacked on to the mechanics.of a ninja—but there are some good spots here.
Ninja Gaiden 3 Review
Ninja Gaiden 3 is the first game in the series that really wants to explore the story around its mainstay hero Ryu Hayabusa and his wipe-clean latex bodysuit. This is quite a tall order, actually, seeing as this is a developer who spent its last game trying to squish a four-armed werewolf into the narrative.Still, you'll sit through a few aggrandising cutscenes as long as the action is good, right? In doing so, however, Team Ninja strays from the series' true calling. It certainly doesn't help that cutscenes - and there's loads of the bloody things - are riddled with the kind of nonsensical twaddle that does little other than make you want to slide your phone out your pocket and check Twitter, and the game's hyperactive aesthetic has you bouncing around increasingly bizarre environments that reads like the kind of story I doodled in the back of my maths book at primary school.I can only imagine the meeting where the development team worked out the game's middle section: "So, yeah, you're in like a Japanese ninja anti-terrorist squad and you've been cursed and absorbed your sword into your arm, and it'll kill you eventually, and, uh, you're fighting a T-Rex with LED eyes and it falls over, and then becomes metal, and then it chases you and you blow him up with a rocket, sort of like in Jaws, and then you're in a virtual reality simulator but the simulator is real, and can also kill you, and you're fighting monsters made out of the real virtual reality once it's possessed dead people who live in big tanks like something from Resident Evil."All of that actually happens.
