Ninja Gaiden 3 for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

This game played like a glorified action hallway. You start out in the streets and you kill everything... then you move down the street and kill everything... then you hop over a building and kill everything... and this goes on and on. And you may be thinking "but that is what you always do in Ninja Gaiden!", but this one is different. It's extremely repetitive with zero to nil on the adventure side of it. You have no control over where you go or how you go... it's just a straight shot, and you can't advance from each little "encounter" until you kill the massive hoardes of enemies that come at you every room or so. And the combat really isn't that gratifying, as most of it is just completely out of your control. Ryu will just go into a killing graphic where you have no control over anything, so you hit square 3 times then Ryu will hit them 12 times in a cool (the first time you see it, and just time consuming by the 1000th time). Compared to the other Ninja gaidens I found this one to be lacking majorly on the adventure aspect as the whole game feels like you're just playing "Survivor" mode. It just throws the same enemies at you repeatedly until you finally die.

First off, i really like ninja gaiden its a pretty well designed game. This game had only to good things, thus explaining the score, the fighting still had that "Ninja Gaiden" feel and the graphics. The bad parts were everything else.

However bought this game, i feel sorry for..... three weapons... A sword, a bow, and throwing stars. Lets not forget we also have only 1 ninpo spell although it is helpful and really awesome that does not help fix our broken down game.

I have an idea to make this game better, change everything from Ninja Gaiden into something else that way they do not ruin the series for hardcore fans.....

If they had different fighting styles and maybe an upgrade system them maybe just maybe from the bottom of my heart i would consider this a playable game.
