Dismemberment is back tons of weapons new characters and a difficulty that will make you toss your controller to the floor more then once!

People are still mad at NG3 because the first version was just awfull, but Razor's Edge is definetly the way to go if you want a grat H&H experience.… Expand

The game's difficulty and gore were increased, while the QTE prompts were removed. In addition, there are extra weapons, more playable characters, new levels, scattered collectibles and challenge trials. It still doesn't rank up with the first two entries. But it's a big improvement over the first version of NG III. I would give this a 7.5 out of 10.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Slightly more polished turd. That's what describe my feeling about this game. I bought both vanilla version of xbox and ps3 last year and was disgusted by it. I did the same thing for RE. They improved over the vanilla version but the unresponsive controls are still there, the disorienting zooming in camera, bad pacing bad level design too.
   After playing metal gear rising this game feels just weak. In MGSR I can actually feel in control of the action, if I died it was because i did nt responded fast enough on the controls or did a wrong move.
   In NG3RE if I die it's because an off screen enemy doing a cheap grab move. Or the main character did'nt not respond to my control input.
   The game is just not fun not challenging, it feels random and cheap.
   
   The ninja gaiden franchise was ruined by the new Team Ninja management.
   I own ninja gaiden xbox, ninja gaiden black xbox, ninja gaiden 2 xbox 360. Those titles will always be in my video game collection. Ninja Gaiden 3 RE does not deserve it's place in it.… Expand

The game is a little more enjoyable and at the very least playable now, so that's a huge step in the right direction.
   
   The combat has a similar feel to Ninja Gaiden 2, and I am glad they brought back the mechanics that made the previous games fun, even if they feel slower than the source game the mechanics found their debut in. The story is largely untouched (they did cut out a lot of the needlessly edgy scenes that made Hayabusa seem like a dick), and the addition of Ayane and Momiji as playable characters with their own skill tree and progression is the highlight for me. That being said, even with all of this, the game still feels like the weakest entry to the series with its boring level design, short story mode, and extremely long recovery on moves that did not have properties like that in previous iterations. Pick this one up over the original Ninja Gaiden 3 for sure if you are a die hard fan of the series, or you could just pick up Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 instead for the same price as Razor’s Edge if you have not already!… Expand

   I really can't see what is so different other than a couple of new levels and some generally cheap difficulty.
   And before you say "You're just bad at the game", I have beaten Black, 2 and original three all on Master Ninja (ultimate ninja for 3 with dlc). More importantly I've beaten this game on all difficulties and yes, it's got some pretty cheap design.
   
   To me, this is actually less enjoyable than the vanilla version. Why? Because while 3 was dumbed down, incredibly boring and easy, this is the same game, with more weapons and ninpo that aren't very useful. The major difference here though,is that it's still very boring, but it's so incredibly frustrating for wrong reasons.
   
   The actual combat itself is the same, sure there are new weapons and ninpo but that's really it. From my experience, all they did was change the enemies so that the do way more damage and block most of your attacks unless you do something very specific to break their block. Same thing for the Reagent of the Mask. Just like in 3, he's really annoying.
   
   If you like Ninja Gaiden for it's actual challenge, don't buy this.… Expand
