Shinobi Impressions

Considering this is a thread about impressions on Shinobi, how does my review not fit in it?  Besides, for this review, even though I gave it an 8.0 and not higher because of its numerous faults, i still REALLY liked the game.  Don\'t be so jealous.  You read it anyways

For someone who doesnt have enough cash to buy many games do u recommend it?

If the only console you have is the PS2, and you already own GTA3 or GTAVC, then yes, I do recommend Shinobi.  It\'s just plain fun.  Just buy it at EB, play it out for a week straight, then return it for something you might like better if the game doesn\'t float your boat.  At least then you don\'t really lose anything and you technically get 2 games out of it for the price of one.  Otherwise, you can always rent it and see if you like it.

I am glad someone else enjoyed the game. Ryu I read your review, and it was a nice job. If only Sega had upped the graphics a bit more. Either way it is a very nice game.

Somewhat of a sidenote. After playing shinobi for over a week. I picked up splinter cell. It is now back in it\'s xbox package. It feels so slow, and sluggish I just can not switch from the fast paced shinobi just yet. What a shame I was looking forward to splinter cell, and not shinobi.

Unicron I typicallyy  2-3 games a week. Doing this has made me somewhat jaded towards most games. It takes somthing out of the ordinary to catch my attention. Most of the time it is graphics that do it. I have been, and probably will always be a graphics whore. There are very few games that catch my attention with what I consider subpar graphics. This one most definitly did!!

Devil May Cry was a short game, but I logged more time into that game than I did a completed FFX game. I am not sure if you are anything like that, but if so I would say this is a worthwhile purchase. There are different modes to complete. One of them is called insane or somthing like that, with 2 unlockable different behaving extra characters.

As I have said before though. This game gets rough in some spots. I find myself playing no more than 1 world a day to prevent me from bashing my controller against a wall.

If you want to run on walls, and attack at beakneck speeds though. I would buy this one.

I have always been in love with the shinobi series. This game takes the cake. I played this game so hard i fell to sleep. Sega knows how to make games.

Similar criteria to the ones you mentioned usually make me buy a game(because I am low in cash and dont want to regret buying it).I usually buy games that have a well balance of nice graphics and great gameplay.But if its that good despite its not so good looks then it will certainly catch my attention too.(Actually it is catching it more everyday).

I can live with it

Hell yeah.


Ryu unfortunately there is no EB in my country.And I dont think my local videogame stores would take it back and replace it with something else if I dont like it.They arent renting any games either.Only stores selling pirated games might take it back.Thanks for the advice though.I ll try find one that might accept taking it back(Which perhaps I might not even need to return afterall:)).

Unicron what hell, ugh I mean country do you live in?

LOL

Well...uhm....the hell I live in is a stupid island called Cyprus.Bah!!I want to get out of here.99% of the gamers here dont know even what the hell Shenmue and many other games are.You shouldnt even ask help from emploee\'s in many Video Games stores.They know almost shit about games.(Thankfully there is atleast one or 2 stores that know).
