The original third person Ninja Gaiden is pretty much a modern classic. It just felt so right. 2 may technically have improved control and combat, but not it's not as memorable. I trust your judgment, so I'll have to try Razor's Edge eventually. Played the original NG3 demo, and I wasn't impressed. Felt way off, budget even. RE is supposed to be an improvement.
I do wish I could cover up that arm though. I don't want to have to look at that gnarly thing for hours.
