At one point in the opening mission, a cutscene shows an enemy mercenary surrender. After all, Ryu is a Japanese Dark Hero.Īfter her presence was teased at in Ninja Gaiden Sigma II, Kasumi doesn’t actually appear in the story of Ninja Gaiden 3 (she had a few short, disguised cameo appearances in Sigma 2), but becomes another playable character in multiplayer, effectively replacing Rachel even though her fighting style lies somewhere between Ryu and Ayane’s.Īfter Itagaki’s extremely brutal send-off and the subsequently tame Sigma 2, Ninja Gaiden 3 makes a 1080 on the gore, but follows a very twisted and disturbing concept of violence. Of course that offers just as countless opportunities to hammer down ad nauseum how Ryu is just as bad as his adversary each time the two meet. Well knowing that it has to be a trap, Ryu faces the masked antagonist only known as The Regent of the Mask, who puts an old Eastern European curse on Ryu that causes the Dragon Sword to be absorbed into his right arm, which is then filled with the spite of all the countless people the ninja has killed. They actually demanded Ryu to show up at their location, for nebulous reasons. That’s right, no ancient superhuman demons this time, just terrorists, even though they call themselves the Lords of Alchemy. In his home, Ryu Hayabusa is approached by the members of a military force, who inform him of a terrorist attack.

It rather seems that he since graduated from the Hideo Kojima school of writing, so the new game is full of boring exposition, pretentious moralizing and a weird kind of half-realism. Series veteran Masato Kato had been brought back on board to pen the story, but somehow that didn’t translate into a rediscovery of old virtues. Starting with the very premise, Ninja Gaiden 3 oozes the desire to be darker and grittier just for the sake of being dark and gritty, best exemplified by Yosuke Hayashi’s constant insistence that Ryu Hayabusa was a “Japanese Dark Hero” now during presentations of the game. Ninja Gaiden 3 is just a poster example of a horribly misguided sequel, both in terms of tone and game design. Unfortunately, they completely fumbled it.

Ninja Gaiden 3 was Team Ninja’s first all-new series entry in their post-Itagaki (and also post Hiroaki Matsui and Katsunori Ehara, which is overlooked too often) world, to prove that they could create a great action game from the ground up on their own. The latter are taken from, ign.com and. Only those showing the on-screen displays are real screenshots. Attention: Many of the screenshots on this page are promotional materials and differ in presentation from the actual game.
