shinobido imashime is a great game...but there is some flaws
graphics:in this game graphics isn't that good... actually it's not good at all you could barley see the details
repetitiveness: missions in shinobido imashime is really bad missions all look same even if there is a little variety like "kidnapping-total destruction-guard" and others but those keep repeating until it gets BORING!
but there is some good things like:
gameplay: gameplay is the best of this game as it's really fun to do stealth and run when they after you that's something that covers the graphics
storyline:storyline is cool as you choose one of the lords to serve and kill other so that lord helps you to re-build your village...sometimes it gets confusing because you must choose missions and in the same time choose which lord you will work for...but bottom line the storyline is great.
sound:sounds in this game are great because it's cool to hear that Chinese music while playing but when you get caught you sometimes FREAK OUT!
gameplay: 9/10
sound: 8/10
graphics : 6.5/10
story line : 8.5/10
with a little more effort shinobido imashime could have been one of the perfect titles on ps2
