		Shinobi's main weapons of choice are the shuriken (or throwing knives), but over the course of the series the emphasis gradually shifted to a ninjato.The ninjato is said to be a fictional sword.

	Shinobi
		Shinobi presents most of the action from an above and behind the player perspective, which allows you to see the majority of the action on a single screen.
		Shinobi's auto-targeting system was the other major technique to learn, while targeting enemies wasn't as easy as one would like, the ability to switch quickly between them was appreciated.
		Unfortunately, Shinobi falls a tad short of expectations thanks to its pedantic level designs, which become predictable and monotonous quickly while the difficulty curve is a paradoxically steep.

		After a series of earthquakes in Tokyo in which a giant golden tower appears in the center of town, the city is devastated along with the village of the Oboro Clan.
		Shinobi is leading a pack of three ninja-themed titles to be released before winter is over.
		The game’s score, however, is often quite awkward, with some weird combinations of organs, electric guitar and bad synthesizer that, although not grating, becomes annoying after repeating a level for the seventh time after dying cheaply.

	Inside Hotwire 3D - Reviews: Playstation 2 - Shinobi (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Shinobi's levels can be quite long and they tend to get even harder toward the end.
		Shinobi's high degree of difficulty may be considered a throwback to the classic games of the past; but those old games did not have these sorts of camera issues.
		Shinobi's musical score consists of lots of Japanese flutes and percussion accompanied by synthesizers, making for an original sound and an old-school kind of feel.

	Hardcore Gaming 101: Shinobi
		The original Shinobi is a pretty straightforward arcade affair, putting in the shoes in ace ninja Joe Musashi (who, lacking a cool mask, looks like a bit of a dweeb.).
		Revenge of Shinobi has some spectacularly cool boss battles - one early battle is against a room of lasers controlled by a human brain locked away in a machine.
		Revenge of Shinobi also saw several re-releases - other than the budget "Sega Classics" release, it was stuck on the 4-in-1 Arcade Classics disc that came bundled with the Sega CD, and later packed in a 5-in-1 cartridge.

		Shinobi isn't the most original game, but it's kinetic and fun, and it became a bonafide arcade hit.

	IGN: Shinobi Review
		November 12, 2002 - Shinobi is the most retrograde of this fall's retro efforts, which is something that's going to lead to mixed reactions.
		Shinobi's boss encounters are easily its strongest suit, since that's where the game loosens up a bit and offers more varied patterns.
		Shinobi is rife with bottomless pits, and avoiding them requires extremely careful manipulation of the double-jump and wall-jump maneuvers.

	Silicon Fusion >> Reviews >> Shinobi
		'Shinobi's' controls are so good, that they leave the fault for repeatedly dying against a particular boss or difficult chasm jump entirely at the player's hands.
		Graphically, 'Shinobi' looks great but sacrifices are noticeable from endlessly-repeated textures applied over the endlessly-repeated hallways and corridors to what looks like lowered polygon counts on our Heroes and enemies.
		'Shinobi' is not for the light hearted, impatient gamer who hates dying and memorizing areas or patterns.

		New to Shinobi is the addition of a cursed sword, Akujiki.

		Story: In the village of Shiroyama, Shinobi are trained from birth to become honed assassins meant to carry out necessary missions all over the country of Iga.
		This tale follows Kagerou (Kenji Matsuda), the arrogant student at the top of his class, and Aoi (Maju Ozawa), the token whining female, and their battle with the law of Shinobi – to be unquestioning, mindless, expendable animals, who’s only purpose is to serve at the highest cost.
		Tanigaki’s execution as director separates SHINOBI from the likes of the aforementioned films by maintaining an appropriate balance between the cheesy and cool factors.

	Japanese Movie Review \| Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (2005) Yukie Nakama, Jo Odagiri
		Essentially a familiar story about duty-bounded souls caught up in circumstances not of their own making, the film is an excellent example of not re-inventing the wheel, but rather taking what is there and making it work nonetheless.
		The two are members of opposing ninja clans that have been at war for 400 years; she of the Iga, and he of the Kouga.
		At less than 2 hours, "Shinobi" is sadly too short, and a longer running time is needed not only to explore the film's many fascinating ninja characters, but also to fully delve into the reasoning behind the Shogun's decision to kill off the Iga and Kouga.

	Shinobi PS2 Review
		Shinobi is the first game I've played to visually express the designed momentum of a Japanese sword, the unstoppable cut and flow that seems to find its own natural path through any situation.
		Shinobi is like none of the ten previous games in the series, and yet it's inspired by the same themes and so it fits right in.
		Recently placed at the head of the Oboro Clan, an ancient ninja organization still operating in modern Tokyo, he is given possession of Akujiki, the clan's sacred and mystical katana.

	UGO.com Games - Shinobi PS2 review, screenshots and cheats of the ninja action game from Sega
		A big hit in the arcades, the first Shinobi was a ninja sidescroller which bore more than a striking resemblance to its martial arts cousin, Ninja Gaiden.
		Once you have it down, Shinobi turns into a button masher, which is appropriate for the series, but is somewhat unwelcome for modern-day gamers.
		Shinobi’s levels are consistently repetitive to the point where you feel you are making no progress, whatsoever.

	Kikizo Games: PS2 Review: Shinobi
		Overworks' Shinobi, the namesake of Sega's classic 80s arcade title, retains the same basic design sensibilities of its decade-old forebear, while at the same time introducing a modicum of fresh new ideas to make it palatable in today's fickle marketplace.
		Overworks' incarnation of Shinobi will not attain the 'classic' status of other titles in its lineage, but it is a solid action title, that, frustration aside, is a lot of fun to play.
		Shinobi is short, it's hard, it's frustrating and it's not that pretty.

		Shinobi's graphics are quite simple when compared to most games of its generation, but they are beautiful in that simplicity.

	Shinobi Review PS2
		Shinobi was a scrolling platform game that featured a deadly ninja armed with the obligatory ninja sword and accompanied with a trusty dog.
		Shinobi most of the time encourages quick fighting and lots of dashing around, but this is easier said than done as Shinobi is a pretty tough cookie to break.
		Shinobi has a high difficulty rating but you shouldn't find yourself frustrated by this because Shinobi encourages skillful and tactful play due to all Hotsuma's moves and the properties of his soul slurping sword.

		Set in 1614 and based around popular historical figures and events Shinobi is a fantasy action-adventure story which concerns itself with two opposing ninja clans, trained in the deadly arts of shinobi.
		A time of peace has settled upon the land and these mysterious warriors whose villages and power are unknown to all but their own have for 400 years been sworn to an agreement which prevents them from fighting one another.
		With four skilled warriors on each side travelling alongside their clan leaders and holding the belief that without the option to fight there is nothing to live for, you have a recipe for disaster in the best possible sense of the word.

	Shinobi (Playstation 2) Review at RewiredMind.com
		Its quite obvious to anyone who has played the original Shinobi games on the Megadrive and Master System that times have changed, and Sega seem to be desperately trying to bring the series up to the current standard of platform/3d roaming/action-adventure titles.
		Whilst, for the most part, they have done a pretty decent job, there are reasons to believe that not all of the development team were that happy with the transition from 2d to 3d.
		A great deal of your time playing Shinobi is spent wandering through straight corridors, beating hordes of opponents, collecting the odd Shuriken boost or energy power-up, until you reach the boss.

	Shinobi (ps2: 2002): Reviews
		Completing Shinobi is not an issue, but doing it with the style deserving of the series certainly is. Achieving those impressive A rankings will keep the dedicated occupied for the foreseeable future.
		There are plenty of cool moves, and the lead character is lots of fun to control, but boring level design and highly repetitive gameplay steal a lot of this potential hit's thunder.
		Overall, shinobi is an awesome game that may not appeal to some people because of its somewhat monotonous gameplay and bad graphics.
