![]() Unfortunately the game’s voice work is still very underwhelming and although Ayane has been given more of a role, her voice actress is actually a bit of an annoyance more than anything else thanks to the way that the character is voiced. The game’s background music is mostly forgetful though the overall sound effects of combat are rather impressive. Thanks to the revision in enemy behavior, the enemies that the player fights against no longer will simper on the ground or beg for mercy repetitively, however instead they will now often repeat the same lines in combat, usually cursing the player after critically wounding them and setting them up for an obliteration technique, so ultimately the company has traded begging for cursing in this regard. Unfortunately while the character models and enemies are great looking, the environments themselves are very sub-par in appearance and while they are varied enough to keep things interesting, every stage tends to feel very superficial. Ryu and the new girls added to the cast, Ayane, Momiji and Kasumi are well designed and features fluid move-sets which look great in action. Being playable for the first time in NG3:RE, Ayane’s storyline runs alongside Hayabusa’s and while it doesn’t add much to the storyline, it does help freshen things up for those who have already experienced NG3’s predictable and underwhelming storyline.Īs far as graphics go, NG3:RE remains as impressive visually as its predecessor with highly detailed character models and an actual increase to the amount of gore in the game thanks to the new executions and the various dismemberments that occur pretty much against every enemy. Outside of that, Team Ninja has also added a couple of new chapters to the game’s storyline which focus on the female ninja Ayane. This does create some disconnect from the game’s whole demonizing of Ryu’s murders though which can be a bit confusing and feels un-finished. The original title featured enemies which would moan and cry for mercy after being critically wounded and even enemies begging for their lives and Ryu ignoring their pleas and murdering them in brutal fashion. One thing removed entirely from Razor’s Edge is the whole demonizing of Ryu’s slaughter. However despite this curse, Ryu continues to struggle against the alchemists and must put an end to their plans which will throw the entire world in chaos if they come to fruition. This alchemist then curses Ryu with a curse called the “Grip of Murder” which fuses his signature Dragon Sword into his body and feeds upon the deaths of others. Upon investigating the situation, Ryu finds that a masked alchemist called “Regent of the Mask” is responsible for everything. For example, the game’s entire prologue sequence has been removed and although the title’s whole curse aspect still remains, it isn’t as ham-handed as before.Īnyways, the story follows Ryu Hayabusa who has being called out by a terrorist organization that is threatening the lives of a number of hostages. ![]() However a few aspects have been removed while a little bit more has been added in. However now the company has brought Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, originally exclusive to the Wii U, to these consoles, has the company managed to salvage the Ninja Gaiden name?įor the most part, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge continues to tell the same storyline of the original game. However despite this being the first numbered title in the series (not counting re-releases) in four years, both fans and I found ita lacking experience that suffered from terrible gameplay decisions which ended up ruining the experience for many. Platforms: Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 (Reviewed)Ī little over a year ago, Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja released Ninja Gaiden 3 onto the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
