If you're an action gamer who doesn't like Ninja Gaiden, you belong in the video game nerd-house. However, this version adds eyestrain and nerve-twinging challenge to wither the will of all but the most determined Gaiden followers. Oh please, don't let it end here!

Ninja Gaiden III is a great action game that outclasses the first NG Lynx title by virtue of the great playability. Too bad they skipped right over Ninja Gaiden II, which I considered to be the best of Tecmo's original NES trilogy.

Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)

How's this for a surprise? Ninja Gaiden III is a decent translation from the popular series. Play control is very good with precise movements. The graphics are simply brilliant on the Lynx's great screen. There are lots of hidden surprises to find and the magic really helps out in tight situations. But, alas, the characters are microscopic, making the game almost a choice to play. A rare gem, but a bit tarnished.

All Game Guide

Ninja Gaiden III is an enjoyable and challenging addition to the Lynx library. The presentation, with its flawed graphics and horrible music, leaves something to be desired. But otherwise, Ninja Gaiden III is worth your time.
