    A solid port of Sega's 1987 Arcade Hit ( and first of the Shinobi Series. )
    There are however two flaws - due licensing issues, the Marylin Monroe posters ( Stage 1-2) are gone and replaced with ... Nothing, just an empty wall, boring bricks. And Spiderman ( also Stage 1-2 ) appears to have his laundry day and will attack in his spare green spandex.

    Shinobi isn't worth $5. It's that simple.
  2. Even though I was hoping to keep this review short, the game is still cool for school. Shinobi spawned a variety of other Ninja inspired games during the 80’s and hopefully we will see some of these on XBox Live.
  3. A solid little action game that works beautifully with the 400-Point price-tag.
