In short, this game is behind the times. It kept my interest well enough... but it was still a terrible game. I remember caling the programmers quacks at numerous points in the game. The gameplay is something I would expect from the Super Nintendo/Genesis days.

The major problem in this game is not enough story, TOO MUCH SEX APPEAL. It seems this game was made only for sex appeal, with the too-short kimono and thong, and tight black clothes later in the game. Every time you look up or crawl into a small space, you get a thong shot. This disgusts me, personally. If you want sex appeal, go rent a porno.

It was rather difficult, but in a bad way. Its one of those games that you get pissed off at for not jumping when you tell it to (since the game takes a while to process your commands >.<) I had to look up how to beat a few bosses, and they were still challenging. But they were a bit too difficult, since you are given no clues as to how to beat them.
On a side note, there is one level that I spent a full day trying to beat. I hept seeing images of that Buddha statue as I tried to sleep.

There's NO replay value, since once you beat the game, you're done with it, unless you want to go on a higher difficulty level. There are minimal secret areas, and no bonus stages after you beat the game.

One thing I must give this game credit for... its poorly planned design gave me the inspiration for a comedy about ninjas, which I have posted here.

If you want a stealth platformer... go play Tenchu.

Yeah, I heard it sucked.

I didn't know there was a Game Reviews forum, though....

Oh yeah.

I remember hearing about that. It was marked down for alienating females as it's so voyeuristic and making the reviewer playing it feeling like a "dirty old perv" :chuckle

I've seen some shots though - even Rikku would blush.

I read it was complete garbage. I believe the actual words the reviewer used to describe it was 'digital vomit'.

I don't think I saw anything higher than 4/10 on this one.

sex appeal with a 5 for graphics.
thats sadder than sex appeal with a 10 for graphics. Its taking sad, and shitting on it.

It's like slapping a crying mother. sad.

Well it kept my interest, unlike Legacy of Kain, so I can give it some credit. The only reason I rented this game was because Blockbuster was out of every other decent game, and I saw this and thought, "Hey, a game that fits with my femininity AND my ninjaninity!"

>.< so terribly wrong...

Wait what, you posted this in 2005? No wonder I didn't remember it.
