The graphics in Razor's Edge are a mild improvement over the Wii U version, with a better frame rate, sharper details and only a few minor glitches to speak of. You can mix and match too, changing weapons on the fly. The gameplay feels great, and being able to unleash all kinds of ninja bad-assery is a lot of fun, whether it's a ninpo attack that lays waste to those in your vicinity or more powerful weapons that can really dish out some major damage, like the Wolverine-esque Falcon's Talons. But at least there's some extra content to keep us entertained with the silliness, such as additional costumes and other playable characters who enter the fray, including big-boobed warrior Momiji and Dead Or Alive beauties Kasumi and Ayane, who have battle tactics all their own. That said, the story is still utterly ridiculous, with a lot of head-scratching moments and encounters you never expected to see, like a run in with a cybernetic T-Rex and a helicopter encounter that most people – hell, anyone but Hayabusa – would not survive. It's not a ninja game unless you successfully have limbs flying all over the place. And the fact you can now make bloody sushi out of your opponents…well, there's a certain satisfaction to it. And things have improved greatly upon part three, with the inclusion of new challenge realms that keep you on your toes (rather than just stabbing enemy place to place like in the previous games) and better defensive mechanics when it comes to dodging and counter-attacking. Like prior Ninja Gaiden games, Razor's Edge is all about stylish combat. But, hey, nothing's stopped Hayabusa yet, so what makes you think these things stand a chance? The master ninja finds himself struggling from time to time as a result, but manages to exude his prowess the best he can as he battles enemies ranging from biker ninjas to flying terrors to large, unstoppable beasts that will take a lot to bring down.
The game follows Hayabusa as he battles an evil terrorist who has somehow infected him with a strange demonic power. Far from perfect, but if you've been looking for the definitive return of Ryu Hayabusa and his bad-ass ways, this is it. Now Razor's Edge is getting one more chance at redemption, this time on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 – the native platforms where the first game arrived. Still, problems with the graphics and camera made it not such a hot purchase to some. Then, in November, Tecmo Koei released a "director's cut" version of the game, Razor's Edge, for Wii U, a game that improved upon the model with plenty of flying limbs and minor improvements here and there. But some people were turned off by problems with the controls, not to mention the inability to use some of Ryu's better weapons right away. When Ninja Gaiden 3 came out last March, I found a lot to like about it, despite the inability to chop off limbs and a story so ridiculously hokey that Jackie Chan films looked legitimate next to it.
