When you’ve got Splinter Cell and Ninja Gaiden, something so mediocre is inexcusable. Gameplay is rote and uninspired, and the graphics feel dated and clunky.
There’s some story about recovering a sword to save the world – told throughout with poorly-acted cut scenes. But who cares, really? What we want is hot ninja-on-ninja action! And we get that in spades.
A complete package in every sense of the phrase. It has enough game to keep you occupied for months, and it just so happens to be the best 3-D fighter made.
