Shadow Dancer is the story of Joe Mushashi and his faithful dog Yamoto. Together they go out and beat up the ruthless thugs of the Neo Zeed Corporation and it's boss the Union Lizard. It's a load of confusing nonsense and in the journey from Arcade to Genesis the plot seems to have been erased and events taking place in the game just seem like gobbledegook. All you really do in this game is jump around taking strange-looking villains out with Surikens.

To be honest, the arcade version of Shadow Dancer was much better. The graphics were far superior, the levels were cooler (levels such as the airport and junkyard are missing in this version) and the bad guys less weird.

Plus it's very, very short with only 5 levels all over in a few minutes. As it was such a cool arcade game it's shocking that a game so easy and tepid could end up on the Genesis. It was capable of much more than this and Shadow Dancer is really only a game for Shinobi completists.

EXCELLENT

One of my favorite games. Complete action...tons of action. Genesis is known for opening up to the world of Violence in the game industry until Mortal Kombat dotted the "I". Unlike Nintendo. But this game kick and punch fighting is great, a Classic. And when you need help...get your dog to fight your battles. Fun game, graphic is good. For you youngsters born after 1985....you wont understand the gameplay nor the technology prior to Playstation.
