The Revenge of Shinobi

A good ninja is hard to find. Bad ninjas are everywhere! In fact, they've just killed your sensei and kidnapped your girlfriend!

The Neo Zeed, an army of martial artists, won't stop at kidnapping and murder.

They want to rule the world! Musashi, a master ninja, must destroy the Neo Zeed thugs and rescue the beautiful Naoko in The Revenge of Shinobi. This Shinobi sequel has lots of shu-rikin-throwing action, but it adds so much more. Gamers will love the new enemies, bonus objects and special ninja powers!

Instead of Shinobi's "Ninja Magic", Revenge gives players four "Ninjitsu" powers.

Ikazuchi, the Art of Thunder, protects Musashi in a sizzling aura of protection. Kariu, the Art of the Fire Dragon, wraps Musashi in a column of fire, which attacks all on-screen enemies. Fushin, the Art of Floating, enhances Musashi's leaping ability. Mijin, the Art of Pulverizing, is a desperation move that turns Musashi into a human bomb!

The contents of crates help you get through the game's eight levels and 24 battlefield scenes. They can be opened with the shurikin, the star-like ninja throwing knives, or with a few karate chops and kicks. Crates may contain Power Packs or swords, or endow him with Cross Guard, a move that deflects enemy Death Stars with crossed shurikins. Crates may also contain extra shurik-ins, small and large hearts that lengthen Musashi's Life Bar, an extra life, a Ninjitsu power or even a bomb!

Sound and graphics represent the best Genesis has to offer. The sound track puts the player in the correct frame of mind. The Ninjitsu sequences are absolutely beautiful. The Revenge of Shinobi is a must-have for all martial arts fans!
