This game did NOT make it to the Dreamcast, however it made up for it by being on the PS2 instead (marking the start of hack n slash games across all other 6th generation consoles). This is now on PSN , so I recommend purchasing it.
   The storyline CAN be a bit slow if you're not too speedy with finishing each level (the story is divided into cut-scenes that are shown AFTER completing a level).
   The camera can be annoying. The game CAN be hard, but REMEMBER that without this game, alot of hack n slashers like Ninja Gaiden / Bayonetta wouldn't exist (Ninja Gaiden: Black Edition even nodded to this game via an unlockable costume).… Expand

   This game is awesome, any shinobi fan would be open minded to this, this game may be repetitive as hell, but yet it is fun as hell, great This game is awesome, any shinobi fan would be open minded to this, this game may be repetitive as hell, but yet it is fun as hell, great controls, amazing game play, and a little flawed, but just enough for you to have fun, the first two levels are kind of lame, then it gets reallly fun and challenging. Reviewers gave this game low scores because those sissies, claimed "it is to hard", my ass dude, i am playing the game on hard mode, and it is a decent difficulty level. If you watch this game, you may think it looks repetitive but don't let looks decieve you, trust me, i was disappointed when i sawa my friend play it, but when i put my hands on it i was in love with the game. Crappy level desighns, Bleh, seriously, as long as you know where to go you guys should not even care. If you are a real shinobi fan you should really try this one out. It is a great thrill and an amazing, underrated game. Buy this one, or at least give it a rental.… Expand

   It makes me feel like a badass, plays silky smooth, and looks goregous. That pretty much says it all.

   This game is TrueOlDSkool! Lets face it..Gone are the days when games used to be played for the sake of being just played. Nowadays Everyone This game is TrueOlDSkool! Lets face it..Gone are the days when games used to be played for the sake of being just played. Nowadays Everyone wants an interactive story that keeps changing every 5 secs. and will ultimately lead to the end of the game within, oh say, 5 hrs? The game is to REMIND you...This is how it all began! The Old HArdcore amongst us (me included!) will definitely remember the helicopter boss from the original or the Spiderman/Bot thing crawling on the walls...(sigh) Graphically not too hot, but lets face it compared to its 2-d counter parts its evolved a million years! The tunes all typical of the era back then (but again evolved to suit todays game music standards) BUT the Movies "Ay Mon! Tis the True Spank Business!" it has all the frills of the old classic anime i.e. Brothers, outcasted maiden ninjettes, resurrection etc. and in some cases the movies out do some of the box office smashes in terms of special effects (wait till you see the matrix-type scene...It had my mates & I in bouts of laughter! Dodging bullets in slo-mo? Pffft, only for wusses!) Gameplay? Just like the original: no thinking, all slashing (I dont use the ninja stars...too bothersome) but I like the combo-sequence idea I especially like the TATE slash thing (1. coz its cool and I can dispatch bosses in one hit and still have it look cool 2. TATE in my language means...male testis (how I laughed!) and that proves it...you need balls to play Shinobi-and if you dont like the game then you dont have balls! Simple! … Expand

   Seriously people, who would pay $49.99 to play as some gay ninja who wears skin-tight clothing and a mile long scarf that he probably stoleSeriously people, who would pay $49.99 to play as some gay ninja who wears skin-tight clothing and a mile long scarf that he probably stole from Santa Clause? Kyle B, even though your taste in games is clearly shitty for giving this "game" a 10, you aer smart for at least writing SOMETHING on this game. I suggest that you (Kyle) just read and not play video games, you're clearly way too sophisticated for us gamers. Unlike Tarik T and Vern V (if those r ur real names) who mispell everything and write shitty one-liner reviews like sentence one of both their reviews. And how dare Tarik T compare Devil May Cry to this worthless piece of repetitivness. On top of you two both having shitty ass taste, you both can't write a goddamn review. I wouldn't spend shit on a game because two idiots said it was the shit. Why don't you two go back to playing Antz Extreme Racing and let the big boys play the real stuff. … Expand
