After seeing this game on TV commercials & on GTV (Games TV on Digital Cable CH.136) I decided to BUY this instead of renting first which you should not do. Anyway, The graphics are looking 32 bit (Genesis) and the gameplay is just like a typical sega genesis game! I agree with the guy below, Falling in a pit is gaurenteed more than your satisfaction with this game. You can tell this was a rushed project! The cutscenes are the highlight of this game, they were cool but the graphics during gameplay ....! The enemy AI is worse than Ninja Turtles & GTA, They might as well be mannaquins! The obstacles were harder than the enemies. The first boss is a helicopter which is lame! I highly recommend Way of the Samurai & Devil May Cry 2 instead if this game. Dante will be able to run along walls in the upcoming sequel! Rent this before buying!

all flash, no substance

i had high hopes for this game, and bought it the day it came out. i absolutely loved the old shinobi series, and was glad to see a new installment. but this game fails to take advantage of the 7 years of progress in gaming since the "shadow dancer" hit the streets for the genesis. the potential was there for this game to follow in the footsteps of the tenchu, metal gear solid, and siphon filter series - open-ended levels, a need for stealth and intelligence, and an arsenal of cool weapons and items. instead, this game is a basic hack-and-slash affair with very little room for improvisation. you have a couple of cool moves, but can fly through levels just jumping around and swinging your sword. aside from the graphics and cutscenes, this game was a HUGE letdown.

Shinobi Rocks!

Shinobi keeps it old school, but with a new feel. Bosses really aren't that hard unless you are just horrible... Walking on walls can lead you to some really neat secrets. Also, your sword gets cursed and you must kill almost constantly kill to feed it. Dashing is really cool and allows you to avoid attacks. Your sword is very powerful when purple, and kills bosses very quickly. It is very fun and a ninja game that is not stealth oriented at all. If this sounds fun, don't even rent it... buy it!

Awesome game!!!

It is great to see old characters from the nintendo/sega era back in action. Especially when they make them as cool as Shinobi! This game has lots of cool stuff, everything from the quick dash to the wall running, it all rocks! While this game can never be as excellent as Dynasty Warriors 3, which is almost impossible, it is still a great buy.

Awesome game!

Even though I can't beat the last level, this game is still awesome, and earns of one of the 5 stars that I gave it. I usually don't like games like this, but this one is awesome. The graphics are beautiful, and the game is extremely fun, though difficult at times. I would say that it is definately worth a try, even if you don't like the real-time hack-n-slash type games.
