In Conclusion…
The purpose of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge was to show the Team Ninja fanboys that the developer and Tecmo Koei could still produce a game worthy of the series. Mission accomplished, as it easily makes up for the disappointment expressed over NG3. Both companies did a good job of restoring the core gameplay mechanics, while integrating some sweet add-ons into the mix. However, the only thing Team Ninja needs to figure out is the game’s difficulty, as it needs to find a balance that will appeal not only to the hardcore crowd, but all newbies.
