The IGN review does sound like it was written after he played a demo. While some issues regarding the scope of the game are consistent with other reviews, most aren't. Knocking down the graphics for one and claiming that you can't sometimes tell what's going on screen is beyond ridiculous.
Yet, those with their preconceived notions about the game will take it seriously and spread the "gospel". |

That UK IGN review was was way too low. He must have been pissed off or something. How can you give it a 4.0 for graphics when it looks better than the previous games?! |

Some of these reviews seem to be alittle harsh. A 7 is a reasonable number on average, but 5 or below is a bit much. I can't see anything in the game that would make it score quite that low. The fact that this game (as far as graphics are concerned) easily looks better than any previous NG game, yet even that receives low scores for some reviewers is a bit odd to me.
Oh well. I never really took reviews seriously anyways. I usually just use them to see if there is any technological flaws in the games design, or something that isn't completely subject to the reviewer's personal opinion. Most of us will have the game in less than 12 hours, so I guess we'll all see for ourselves one way or another. |

It seems like their trying to send team ninja a message
more than score the game correctly. The message seems to be
we dont like what your doing with ninja gaiden. those scores are really harsh  _________________ "Repent you are in the presence of a greater fiend!!!" |

So more reviews are giving it 7s and 8s, but then IGN comes along and gives it a 3 and thats the universal score of NG3? lol
Same site who overhypes every CoD and Skyrim and GTA games...etc. nice.
I agree with Destructoid, it has some good stuff, but majority of the game is bad. Launch price is not worth it unless you are hardcore fan and have credits at a store, trading old games or want to burn money.
They should wait for a bragain bin price at 30 or 20 or something, which wont be long until that happens.
I for one have alot of credits from a year ago from old games so I can get it at launch.
Anyways, I will be spending all my time, other than one playthrough of SP, on Ninja Trials, use custom music from past NG games, unlock stuff and level up the sword and just have fun.
And of course save seperate slots at the best levels in SP. |

Yup, these reviews will definitely be a wake up call to Hayashi if the complaints are valid (I for one already have the game so I wont bother with checking reviews). |

people have been going at TN on their face book page and on twitter, a lot of "you fvck it up" comments, and also a lot of people dropping Itagaki's name, you cant really blame them but I don't think we really need Itagaki for a good NG you just don't got to be stupid about it, _________________

I guess that those people are either 14 year old kids or adults but immature fanboys. I mean sure, TM Ninja tried to give the franchise a new and refreshing direction and hit rock bottom. I guess everyone from us failed in his life at some point terriblely. And I´m pretty sure that most of us, that got an honest opinion about our failure with a following positive reinforcement were a lot more motivated and full of beans to try it again.
An honest opinion must be send to TM without glossing over the horrible design choices.
Though constantly bringing up the name Itagaki and using "profound" arguments like "you fvck up the franchise" doesn´t do any good at all. At least as far as I´m concerned. _________________
