I really love the live action cutscenes and look of this game. It gives it a life all its own and it looks very distinct from other action platformers. The music (in Shinobi X) is quite good and lends to the games atmosphere. That's where my positives end. This game sucks ass and it's one of the most tedious things I've ever played. It controls so much worse than shinobi 3. The levels in this are absolute cock and ball torture. There is this mine cart level and it just never ends, it neeeeever ends. There is nothing in this game that feels satisfying. I was certainly getting better at it, there is definitely a feeling of being able to get through stuff faster. But my only reward was more tedious bullshit. It's definitely worth checking out as an interesting oddity in the series but I would rather not touch this again.
Just like my Febreeze bottle says: "I take odors from no one!"
Pretty cool and fun Shinobi game with some unique level and enemy design for the series. The later level gimmicks and boss fights can be a bit of a pain though, but I guess that is kind of the Shinobi way. The live action cutscenes make this game one to remember lol.
