good game
great old school action. really reminded me of old sega games, especially the bosses, and how you had to figure them out. these bosses were a bit too nice though. perhaps a little more variety in the boss movement would have been good -- like a change in behavior after half their life meter is gone. overall, difficulty was about what I'd expect from a wiesi game. not really hard, so that most people can finish the game and see everything in it.
decent
The controls are okay and the music is great but the game is extremely difficult. It's hard to block the weapons and life doesn't replenish enough to make up for it. It's a good idea so maybe make another like it with some changes.
love the music and sound fx
Enter the Dragon was the greatest!
Flawed.
I didn't have the problem with the controls the last reviewer did, as pushing toward the direction you are jumping while airborne will scroll far enough that you can tell you need a double jump (at least as far as I managed to get). However, the difficulty level of this game is, in a word, obnoxious. I felt like I was playing the NES version of Shinobi. I was getting hit with a barrage of knives from offscreen enemies, blown up when the stupid TNT happened to be sitting on a platform with a knife chucking jerk on the other side, and my favorite flaw: apparently your dinky life meter doesn't restore when you drown to death. Nice.
Dude
Its art can look better, plus the way of the game is kinda weird, well normally ninja's dont do day or better yet open fighting. They like to stealth it so if you put in things like shadows and rocks you gotta crouch by the would rock. Also so what I hear you cant swim, get a animation to swim and also let him go under water to escape being spoted and stuff, also when you press S let him keep his sword out and if you can let him run with Shift being held in, hope this helped out on making this game alot better and alot more fun. If you want more depth in my idea's just PM me peace dude.
