Our take on NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge [NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection]

Players who expect every mode to work online may hit a wall when they reach Tag Missions in Σ2 or Ninja Trials in Razor's Edge. The collection also omits Razor's Edge's Shadow of the World and Clan Battle modes, so its online modes have a narrower scope than the included game titles might suggest.

What is NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge [NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection]?

This collection brings together NINJA GAIDEN Σ, NINJA GAIDEN Σ2, and NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge.

The games focus on fast-paced battles against fearsome enemies, with Ryu Hayabusa and other playable characters. Character choices and available modes vary by title. Hero Mode in the first two games adds automatic guarding when health is low or the player is in danger. Σ2 also includes Ninja Race, where players fight while racing against a time limit, and Tag Missions with two switchable characters.

Razor's Edge includes chapter challenges, Ninja Trials, hidden Test of Valor battles, and upgrades unlocked with Karma and Golden Scarabs. Previously released modes and DLC costumes are included. Online multiplayer is unavailable for certain modes, and some Razor's Edge online content is excluded.
