Easily the best Ninja Gaiden of all time. Flawless pacing, non-stop balls to the wall action, thrilling boss fights, tons of blood, guts, and gore, a killer soundtrack, a final act that resembles that of RE4, and fun multiplayer modes that are the icing on the cake. The online co-op ninja trials in particular are a blast if you play with someone who has a similar skill level as you.The first Ninja Gaiden is a dated game by today's standards (no dismemberments, lack of checkpoints), and the second one is known for its broken difficulty level, but Razor's Edge fixes everything wrong with the series and serves as a great send-off for iconic gaming hero Ryu Hayabusa. It's not only criminally underrated, it's one of the greatest action games ever made.

Game deserved to be slept on. Izuna drop enemies until your arm gets possessed makes most of the move list useless. Get sucked into Demon Worlds for pointless time wasting fights against regular enemies. Bosses that can interrupt your combos with invincibility frames. No puzzle solving. QTE without any prompts. Linear level design. Razors edge was a step back in everything except gore :camby:

It's a good button masher, which is good when you want to let off steam.

However, the game was too short, the "final boss" was lame, it wasn't difficult at all, and it lacked puzzles.

Ninja Gaiden Black is the best in the series so far.

I'm not going to pretend it's perfect, but as far as manly action games go, this is one of my absolute favorites. It was short, but sweet imo. I enjoyed every chapter and found them absolutely thrilling. Only part of the game I hated was the final boss. It was more cheap than anything, but even that part was satisfying once I passed it because it felt good to finally beat that annoying fukk. The original Ninja Gaiden is one of the most groundbreaking action games of all time, and Black managed to improve upon it, but after playing Razor's Edge, I can't see myself going back and playing it because I prefer my mindless action games to be short and cut out all the excess fat; just get straight to the blood and gore and bosses, and that's what Razor's Edge did for me. The dismemberments were so satisfying, especially with the staff. Felt like that one nikka from Soul Caliber II.
