Wow, I was surprised when I played this game. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. The graphics, sound, and gameplay, are all nearly perfect. Keep reading to find out about exactly good this game is.
Gameplay A: The gameplay is almost perfect, your ninja controls perfectly. He is easy to control, and very maneuverable. Ducking, wall jumping, and hanging are some of the things he can do. He can also do a variety of special moves that do a variety of things. Each has their own uses, but I found the blur move to be the most useful. The level designs are great. Each level takes advantage of what you can do. They are simple and straight forward, yet they reward you for looking outside the box, without being a maze. Certain levels allow you to ride a horse, or some kind of surf board. They too, are fun despite being simple. Killing enemies is very satisfying, and it never gets old, thanks to the changing scenery, and satisfying effects.
Graphics A+: The graphics are amazing. The scenery can be beautiful, or have an industrial look, either way the levels are detailed, and always changing their look and feel. The sprites are well sized, and there is no slow down, something you would expect on the Genesis. The visual effects are outstanding as well, while there is no scaling, (does there need to be)? The rotation of the bosses, and the impressive use parallax scrolling. Make the environments immersive, and realistic. I find it funny, how even when you kill a human enemy they explode.
Sound B+: The music is quite impressive, the Asian style music is unique, and not stereotypical. Its catchy, and instrumental. For a system, known for its more electronic sound. This is a big deal. The sound effects are okay, some of them show their age, like the giant fart sound when you kill an enemy.
Replay Value B: There's no reason why you should play this game again. I would because its just so much fun.
Depth B+: There are only 7 levels, but they are huge, and are quite different from each other.
Difficulty Medium: Just enough difficulty to make a good challenge, nothing to hard, or easy.
