Underated. Read Pros and Crons on my review :)

User Rating: 8.5 | Shinobi PS2
By jessiwb | Review Date:
I usually do my reviews on games that I consider underated. Shinobi fits on this rule.

In my opinion, even with some problems, Shinobi really worth a try.

Graphics and sounds are just what I expect, so I will not put them into pros or cons.

Pros :
- Gameplay, killing ninja style, no stealth in here.
- Some really tough and interesting stages.
- It has some replay value.
- Interesting enemies and bosses. (At least some of them).
- It can't be finished in one play, will drain some energy of you.

Cons:
- Sometimes, it could be really hard, really hard.
- No checkpoints, in some giant stages it became a real problem.
- Lack of combo variations.
- Sword sucks the player's life if he/she doesn't kill. Really boring if you get lost or searching for secrets or searching for something.

Last considerations :
Besides the problems, the game has it value, and get me into play when I have my first and second PS2. The difficult really makes you work.

My grade : 8,5.

    I have no idea why this game doesn't score higher than it does.

    Look, this game is one of the best games on the PS2, period. That is if you like challanging games with tight controls. The last boss is extremely difficult, even when you know how to beat him. I almost gave up on the d... Read Full Review
