It may not live up to the series' impossibly high standards, but it's still a gem in its own right.

Ninja Gaiden 3 is not a complete train wreck, but it does suffer from a multitude of problems. The action can be fast-paced and engaging at times, but many design decisions significantly bring down the experience. Dumbed-down A.I., a limited arsenal, the series’ notoriously difficult camera, no inventory/currency system, and an incoherent story combine to make this the most disappointing title in the series.

In trying to break free of Tomonobu Itagaki’s considerable shadow, Team Ninja crafts a tepid take on Ninja Gaiden that satisfies no one.

All flash and no substance: Ninja Gaiden 3 is a shallow action game with little of the series' challenge and depth.

Ninja Gaiden 3 is a gash on the face of the franchise and one of the worst games the action genre has yet suffered. It has no consideration for its fans’ wants or what a new audience may have enjoyed. It’s a nightmare that’s as easy as it is uninteresting, and it abandons what used to work for awful new ideas that don’t work together.
