    This game managed to hit my nostalgia nerve, especially because I had a quick action itch, and this game was right there to scratch it.

The grappling hook, the jumping with an almost flying crane style feel, slashing your sword, and throwing shurikens all feel so incredible, and in general, this game was ahead of it's time.

Rewarding stealth and precision moves whilst not trying to be overly realistic. Getting the hang of the grappling hook is a standout feature and quite rewarding when you time your swing to perfection and slash the thug the split second you land. Ignore the horrible box art, this game is pure platforming joy with a great learning curve Full Review »
