Shinobi: You Want To Stop Playing, But Your Pride Won't Let You.

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2002
The Bottom Line: I had to update this once I got to the end of the game. This game's only a 3 now. And I don't recommend it to anyone anymore.
Review: It's a scientifically proven fact: Ninjas are cool. Recently, a friend and I have been getting into the Japanese anime series, Naruto about, go figure, ninjas. So since Episode 8 ends on a stinking super-cliffhanger, it completely got us amped to...

The Ninja Magic is gone from this series

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: Shinobi is a frustratingly mediocre game, that will serve to do nothing but irritate those who grew up with Joe Musashi. It's not worth it.
Review: Shinobi, what a series of games. Starting in the arcades, before making a trip to Sega's Master System, then onto it's successor the Megadrive/Genesis as well as two outings on the handheld Game Gear, the series came to a grinding halt after Shinobi...

An irritatingly fun challenge...

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: I don't recommend it to mentally volatile gamers.
Review: First off, I've always been a fan of Shinobi from the beginning at the arcade all the way to this point. So...I'm somewhat biased. To begin this "dissertation" of the game we are focused not on the character ninja himself but rather a sword called,...

a great game, for the first few minutes

Date of Review:  Mar 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: At first it's a good game, but then after the helicopter fight I'm sick of fighting, the story line from every game, and the power ranger pose, it sucks.
Review: When I first got the game, it looked great.
When I first played it, my opinion was quite the same, it was fun to play and the graphics were pretty good compared to the other games out at the time.

Then I got to the second group of...

Intensely Difficult, but Well Worth it

Date of Review:  Jul 14, 2004
The Bottom Line: Buy this if you don't mind repetition, an consider yourself a patient person who is good at videogames.
Review: Introduction:

There are very few 3D games being released these days which skip all the fancy stuff we don't really need, and go straight for the simplistic, more abbreviated gameplay approach, reminiscent of old 2D classics, which most...

Shinobi's back!!! Take that Ryu Hayabusa!

Date of Review:  May 2, 2003
The Bottom Line: An old school challenge, with a ninja on the cover. But only the hardcore need apply.
Review: Intro:
I must make one thing clear before I continue this review. I am a Sega fanboy. Pure. I eat everything they make right up and even though I can recognize when a game is crap, this fact can make me biased to forgive to some extent. So...

Do you remember Shinobi?

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2002
The Bottom Line: Shinobi is fun, beautiful, and hard as heck. If you want a classic experience with breathtaking action and beautiful graphics, look no further!
Review: Do you remember Shinobi? Back from the hallowed age of first gen mainstream consoles, back during a time when games were made differently, a time I look back on fondly.

Shinobi is a little slice of that era, packed up in some of the best...

Excellent conversion of classic platformer.

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: If you like a challenge, this is the game for you. It's tough but not impossible. Recommended to avid players who don't mind games that put up a fight.
Review: Many reviews complain about the absence of any save points in the game and normally I would agree with them but Shinobi's different. Games without save points are infuriating when you have to control characters using clumsy interfaces but in Shinobi...

Shinobi's BACK!

Date of Review:  Nov 30, 2002
The Bottom Line: Shinobi is classic gameplay, hack and slash...and speed. But it's nothing new, and certaintly nothing to get excited over.
Review: Backdrop
You're Hotsuma, the leader of the ancient Oboro clan of ninja. One day a massive earthquake hits and reawakens an evil sorcerer who was defeated by your ancestors. He comes back and kills your entire clan. Things get even worse when he...

Very, very tough game.

Date of Review:  Jun 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: Stear clear of this game.
Review: Concept: A game featuring a ninja that sports a huge red scarf.
Graphics: Average PS2 graphics.
Sound: The only thing you can hear is the swishing of Shinobi's blade and the screams of you dying foes.
Playability: I wouldn't recommend...
