 Nightshade: Playstation 2 (PS2) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
When Shinobi was released on the PS2 last year it was embraced by a number of hardcore gamers for the title’s high level of difficulty, a noticeable departure from many of its contemporaries that were cakewalks by comparison.
While this may partially alienate fans of Nightshade’s predecessor, it does allow the game to be a far more accessible title that more casual gamers will greatly enjoy, as the this title is far less intimidating in terms of challenge.
The instant kill combo phenomenon is still present through Nightshade, but by the time you reach the high levels, the required high-flying aerial combos, and strategically defeating enemies for maximum effect will give gamers seeking a challenge enough to enjoy.

I typically find any platformers get old fast, but in Nightshade, the designers were wise enough to not subject you to platform hell, so there's just enough to keep the levels interesting.
While there's not a whole lot to Nightshade besides fighting, spell casting and platforming, it's still a stylish little title that should keep the Ninja fans out there busy for more than a few days.

 Review - Nightshade // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
While there are certainly a small minority of people who enjoyed the mechanics of the game, we found the gameplay to be repetitive and hackneyed, the presentation to be poor and ultimately, the whole experience was tedious, frustrating and unrewarding - not exactly a compelling package in a videogame.
When we first heard about Nightshade, with its shuriken-chucking heroine in her skin-tight ninja gear, it sounded like exactly what the doctor ordered.
Sadly, to describe Nightshade's graphics as underwhelming would be like describing the Atlantic as a bit wet; there has been absolutely no evolution here since the atrocious looking Shinobi, and the outdoor sections only serve to exacerbate the problem, with enemies popping into view en masse only a few feet away from you.

 Bittersweet Nightshade (Solanum dulcamara)
Bittersweet nightshade, also known as woody nightshade or European bittersweet, is a perennial vine or scrambling shrub with slender stems in the Nightshade Family.
Although bittersweet nightshade is not usually the dominant weed where it is found, in some local creeks and wetlands it has formed large, dense and damaging infestations.
Although bittersweet nightshade is not the same plant as deadly nightshade or belladonna (an uncommon and extremely poisonous plant), it is poisonous and has caused loss of livestock and pet poisoning and has caused death in children who accidentally picked the berries, probably because it was growing with flberries.
