  • Summary: It’s every ninja for themselves in the ultimate battle for the Jade Katana. Fight alone, team up, or take on friends in brutal arena-based combat where the mighty prevail and the weak pay the ultimate price: death and dishonour.

    Ninja Shodown is a party game with a sense of fun and chaos to it but the truth is that it's just not as much fun to play as it should be.

    Yup, there’s no online mode in Ninja Shodown. This means that as enjoyable as multiplayer is, it’s only playable locally in a living room. Combine this with the simple truth that Versus Mode is the only good part of the game, and you’re left with a product I just can’t recommend. If the performance issues were cleaned up and the price slashed down drastically, my verdict might look very different. That’s because, again, the game is surprisingly engaging when played competitively. Games aren’t necessarily outright bad when they’re too hard or even broken; it’s when they effectively don’t give you anything to do that they truly fall apart. And because it lacks an online multiplayer mode, Ninja Shodown fits that description for many players.
