Get Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge, Action game for PS3 console from the official PlayStation® website. Know more about Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Game. Ninja Gaiden 3 offers for the first time a look at the world through Hayabusa’s eyes, showing what drives him to fight, and kill. At the center of the conflict this time around is a masked man whose motivations and goals are unclear.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a 2012 action-adventure video game developed by Team Ninja and originally published by Nintendo for the Wii U in 2012 and subsequently released by Tecmo Koei for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2013. It is an enhanced port of Ninja Gaiden 3 that includes all downloadable content from the original title, as well as additional enhancements made to improve the game.

Gameplay[edit]

The players can now use the Wii U GamePad's unique touchscreen to select different weapons, perform Ninpo, view additional game information and more. Decapitation and dismemberment from previous titles return, and an optional mode with touchscreen controls similar to that of Dragon Sword is available. Many gameplay elements from Ninja Gaiden 2 were borrowed and implemented in Razor's Edge, while some elements from the original Ninja Gaiden 3 were discarded or completely remade, such as Steel on Bone being a grab counter chain and no longer requiring button spam, and the Kunai Climbing being much faster and easier to perform. Many other gameplay mechanics from Ninja Gaiden II were implemented in Razor's Edge.

The game features online cooperative gameplay mode, with new playable characters, such as the female ninja Ayane, was revealed in a preview of the game at the Nintendo of America Wii U press conference in New York. She has her own set of moves, similar to her Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 iteration, with additional cutscenes produced for her added role. A new Chapter Challenge mode allows the player to control Ayane, as well additional DLC characters, Kasumi and Momiji, in any part of the game.[1][2]

Plot[edit]

The game stars the elite master ninja of the previous titles, Ryu Hayabusa. Like the original, the events of Razor's Edge takes place after the events of Ninja Gaiden II. This time around it also features a separate storyline for Ryu's kunoichi ally, Ayane, who stars in her own set of unique missions in Razor's Edge that involve the return of the Black Spider Clan.

Development and release[edit]

The game was announced at E3 2011 as a launch title for the Wii U.[3] Outside Japan, Razor's Edge was published by Nintendo, making it the company's third title to be rated M by the ESRB after previous titles Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem and Geist. It is the first game to receive an R18+ classification in Australia after the rating was introduced in the country,[4] albeit it did not get a physical retail release. Downloadable content includes both Kasumi (from the Dead or Alive series) and Momiji as playable characters, available for free.[5] On February 6, 2013, Tecmo Koei Europe announced the game would be also released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.[6]

The game received more positive reviews than its predecessor, but overall reception was still largely mixed or average. An early version of the game was well received by Mitch Dyer of IGN, who wrote that it makes 'massive strides toward becoming the game Team Ninja clearly wishes it was on 360 and PS3 earlier this year. [Yosuke] Hayashi and his team clearly took the negative criticism and hardcore fan backlash to heart – and they deserve a second chance.'[20] IGN's review by Ryan McCaffrey stated 'it’s fantastic to see this kind of hardcore gamer’s game on a Nintendo console – and at the Wii U’s launch, no less – and you can forget much of what you may have heard about the original release of this game.'[16] On the other hand, Kevin VanOrd from GameSpot wrote: 'It's harder and more varied than its original release, but Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge doesn't reach the greatness of its forebears.'[14] Likewise, Eurogamer's Martin Robinson wrote: 'This is a better game than Ninja Gaiden 3, and one that does commendable things in atoning for Team Ninja's past sins - but sadly it's far from a brilliant one.'[11] Jim Sterling from Destructoid gave it 5.5 out of 10, writing: 'Nothing this Wii U release does can improve upon the core gameplay, which remains as dry, disaffected, and banausic as ever before. Razor's Edge gives us more, but when the original serving exceeded that which the player could stomach, 'more' isn't a very tasty prospect.'[10]

I was put off by Ninja Gaiden 3 when I first played it, which, as a long-time fan of the franchise, was painful to admit. Subsequent playtime with the title did nothing to assuage my resentment, which grew deeper and more insidious as I attempted to play the game’s arbitrarily frustrating Master Ninja mode and spent time in its janky, awkward online battles.

When Razor’s Edge was shown at E3 last year, I was immediately intrigued simply because of how much better it felt. It was released as a launch title for the new Nintendo console, with no word as to whether or not its alterations would make their way over to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners. Then, finally, confirmation came and now, game firmly in hand, I feel as though a yoke has been unfurled from around my neck.

Josh Engen already touched on the basic differences that make Razor’s Edge a better, nicer Ninja Gaiden 3, but, as is always the case, there’s more to be said.

The surface changes to Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge are obvious. Dismemberment has returned and, with it, the violence of combat is ratcheted back up a few notches. Enemies who’ve lost a limb don’t stumble around in a zombified daze, as almost-dead foes did in the original version, but relentlessly target Ryu (and Ayane, in sections in which she’s playable) with last ditch desperation attacks. Karma is no longer just a number, but a currency with which upgrades may be purchased, from new and more powerful ninpo to upgrades of weapons (there’s more than one weapon, now). Additional costumes and special abilities are also on the menu.

Tied to the Ninja Skill screen, which can be accessed freely at any time, both Golden Scarabs and Crystal Skulls return. While Golden Scarabs serve their usual purpose, opening up new skill options such as expanded health or entirely new weapons, Crystal Skulls now signify challenge rooms. These are excellent opportunities to farm karma, taking down a few waves of relentless foes before tackling a boss, typically from a previous entry in the series.

Gaiden

Meanwhile, Ayane is in the game as a playable character with her own missions. They’re substantial chunks of gameplay in well-designed levels, generally tighter than those Ryu fights in, which allows her to take more advantage of the environment. She’s agile and deadly, though she’s written as an oddly petulant teenager, which doesn’t really seem to fit with her original personification in the Dead or Alive games. The story in these won’t really blow you away, but they certainly clarify one of the more perplexing moments from the original version.

Combat alterations are palpable, though. Enemy A.I. is smarter, with foes dashing in and out of range, some staying on the outside and firing at you as others charge in for the kill. Combat is definitely hectic, but it regains that distinct edge for which previous Ninja Gaiden games were so notable. No longer does monotony take hold, as battles are no longer interminable slaughter boxes in which foes keep coming for ten or twenty minutes at a time as you mow them down in a war of constant attrition.

The very flow of combat has changed, in fact, in part because of some rebalancing of Ryu’s basic moveset. The slide, which replaces the roll and dash of the first two games, is shorter and more controlled. It can also be used to cancel out of the wind down animations from many combos, now, allowing players to respond quickly to sudden shifts in enemy tactics or cover for unfortunate mistakes without leaving a deadly opening. Ultimate techniques are no longer something someone must wait to use, as they can be charged by holding the heavy attack button or a short time. As Ryu’s weapons are leveled, the ultimate charge can be extended across multiple tiers, the highest of which will come out automatically whenever the player’s arm/weapon turns red. The techniques themselves feel less automated than in the original version, requiring initial contact with a foe to set off even the most basic one. They also don’t serve as a guaranteed kill anymore.

The best change to the basic combat mechanics of the game, though, is found in its much-vaunted Steel on Bone maneuvers. In the first game, these were an oft-confusing addition that would trigger almost randomly during combat. Ryu would strike, and suddenly his sword would be caught in his foe. Pressing an attack button would continue the cut and finish them off. Later, when ways to trigger them at will were discovered and it was found that they could be chained together, players abused them relentlessly.

Razor’s Edge turns them into a counter.

It’s a way of punishing foes who attempt a heavy attack. If you avoid the heavy blow (signaled by a distinctive aura) and counter with a heavy strike of your own in a brief window, Steel on Bone is initiated. This limits its prevalence, but makes it a much more satisfying mechanic. Steel on Bone strikes can still be chained together, but there’s a hard limit as to the number of them, dictated by the level of one’s weapon.

Meanwhile, the Ki meter is used for more than just ninpo now. While a fully-charged meter allows one to fire off a powerful magic attack (of which there are now multiple, each with a different length of Ki bar), players can instead use it, if they’ve purchased the relevant abilities, to restore additional health between combat (in the original game, this happened automatically), evade an attack with the press of a button, or aim with the bow in mid-air. This adds a new strategic element to the game. Is it worth it to fire off a ninpo now when it might only heal a fraction of your health, or should it be saved until after combat, for meditation?

The ninpo, too, are somewhat smoother now, controlling as they did in Ninja Gaiden 2, rather than automatically cannibalizing all foes in the current combat.
