    Terrific enemy placement, tough bosses and pretty good graphics. [Aug 2002, p.71]

    If incredibly sore hands and a serious feeling of relief after busting caps in countless Shogun hoodlums constitutes a solid console light-gun shooter, then Ninja Assault screams for your attention.

    An above-average shooting title that feels a lot like Sega's "The House of the Dead" games. [Sept 2002, p.150]

    As fun to run through once as any of them. [May 2004, p.95]

    Delivers on the throwback headstrong-ninja motif, but its graphics are lacking, the level of challenge isn’t up to snuff, and the whole experience is over way too quickly.

    There isn't enough of the good stuff to keep you interested for long.
  7. PSX Nation

    Its precariously short length (half-a-dozen brief stages plus Boss battles) and exorbitant price ($60 packed with a GunCon 2 and $45-50 by itself) couldn’t have come at a worst time.
