You just can?t keep a good ninja down. Shinobi is returning for a new graphic action extravaganza.
At long last, Sega?s classic ninja has been reborn, and in grand style. It?s the near future and a new ninja embodies the Shinobi name to defeat the menace of the Oboro clan. This game will be rated Mature for intense battle scenes in which Shinobi?s blade literally slices his opponents to pieces. The preview version?s incredible graphics showcased Shinobi?s sleek new costume (including futuristic body armor, throwing darts on his forearm, and a lengthy scarf that seemed to be alive), awesome cinematic cut-scenes, and well-rendered 3D environments that will take your breath away. The hip, techno soundtrack kept pace with all the onscreen action, too. The camera angle and perspective got a little unwieldy in the midst of the fighting and required some practice to master; however, different challenges will require different attacks, so it won?t be just a button masher. From the looks of it, Sega is creating an incredible ninja game deserving of the Shinobi name.
