Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor Edge Demo Live

Team Ninja and Tecmo Koei today announced that a demo for Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, the latest chapter in the series arriving on April 2nd for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, is now available for download on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The demo features separate stages starring Ryu Hayabusa and the female warrior Ayane. All Karma and Ninja Skills acquired in the demo can be brought over to the retail game.

Hayabusa’s stage is set in the scorching deserts of Dubai while Ayane’s takes place in Paris, the City of Light. When both stages are cleared, the characters can be played in Chapter Challenge — and players can even unlock Kasumi in the demo. The demo can be played in Hero and Normal difficulty levels by default, and Hard and Master Ninja levels can be unlocked to challenge even the most skilled ninjas.
