Ninja Gaiden is not your ordinary hack and slash series. This is a very particular series whose audience seems to be partly those who like a challenge and partly those who like to be submissive to the game's complete and utter dominance. But how long until a game's relentless and perhaps nonsensical difficulty spoils the game's overall quality? And is this the game the die-hard fans of the franchise have been waiting for and the antidote to the poorly received original version of Ninja Gaiden 3?
It's been 10 years since the launch of Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge on Wii U - it's about time we received another sequel.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.

NG:RE is good (2 was better though) and I havent played the others. My kids will likely get a kick out of bolt and tembo while I will give the F:13th the old college try.
The games with gold selection is trash. Besides Friday the 13th. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the worse in the whole series. Bolt and Tango...laughable
NG:RE is better then 1 or Black. Waaaaay more options. Better graphically. More playable characters. More costumes. More weapons. More ninjitsu. More enemy variety. In comparison. The first game is basic af.
