Ninja Gaiden 3 is the eagerly anticipated third chapter in the unrivalled saga that is Ninja Gaiden, and the sequel to the 2008 released Ninja Gaiden 2. This renowned action adventure game combines all the best aspects of the typical hack and slash genre, blending brilliant graphics with an innovative plot. This game focuses as much on the intricate storyline as it does the heavily bloody action, bringing you the best of both worlds.
The story follows the aftermath of the events that unfolded in the previous game, and you play as Ryu Hayabusa once again, whose name strikes fear in the hearts of every ninja around the globe. Ryu has received a mission from the Japanese Self-Defence Force, who have assigned him to take down terrorists, yet for this ultimate ninja nothing is ever simple. Ryu has been the victim of a blood curse that was inflicted upon his right arm in the previous game, cast as both a consequence and his punishment for all the lives he has taken. Unravel the secrecy that surrounds this mysterious masked hero, as this game allows you to completely immerse yourself in the protagonist, delving deeper into both his past and his present than ever before.
This new game offers a wide range of additional features that haven't been included in previous efforts, setting it aside from all the other games in the franchise. There is even an edit on Ryu's clothing: metal toes. These come in handy for his brand new move the Kunai Climb, which allows him to climb up walls and launch attacks on unsuspecting foes from above. Two new play styles have also been introduced; the first is Ninja mode, which is aimed at players who are more experienced when it comes to the game, giving them no extra help and allowing them to completely dominate every fight they're challenged to depending on just their own skill. The second is Hero mode, which is tailored for less experienced Ninja Gaiden players, allowing them to choose to apply assists throughout the game, such as automatic guarding and evasion.
Ninja Gaiden 3 has also extracted some features from the previous games, for example dismemberment, in favour of more realistic consequences to the opponent's flesh. When a foe is struck or sliced with Ryu's Dragon Sword, the player will actually recognise the resistance of the blade as it hits bone, with the enemy actually crying out in pain. The game balances this gore with more technically executed attacks, such as the Grip Of Murder, which is an Ultimate Technique specified to Ryu's cursed right arm, and can only be performed when his arm is charged and glows red after killing a specific amount of enemies. These additional features play in so well with the game and its incredible storyline, giving all players something to enjoy time and time again.

Ninja gaiden 3
Ninja Gaiden 3 is one of the best games to play. The gameplay doesn't offer anything new, the difficulty is greatly decreased compared to the previous chapters and this is definitely a positive. It has excellent online and an interesting plot. There is some stealth as in other ninja games (like Tenchu for example) but it is still fun.

Ninja Gaiden 3
I don't understand why this game has taken a low review? Ok I admit its not as good as the first two, and many times during the fight you can get confused on where you are, but Ninja Gaiden 3 is still a very enjoyable game.
