I took me literally years to finish this game because of that last maze level. Maybe I just wasn't super smart as a kid, but I would always get lost. The game was so fun that I could always go back to play it all over again. I had the version with Spider-Man on it, so it's a game that always felt special to me.
A slight improvement over the original, but I still don't understand why I'm forced to walk through an entire game where I play a master ninja.
Um jogo lindo graficamente, na soundtrack, na historia, em TUDO, agora a dificuldade é de torar. (usei save mesmo, se eu não tivesse usado eu passaria meses tentando).
I know how much important this game is and I will definitely play it through for completionism sake, but it made me wish to return to the sequels asap.
Revenge of Shinobi, while keeps a lot of the same elements as the original Arcade game, it improves upon some things to make it a decent sequel in my eyes.
The stages are more dynamic, and they have a nice variety of environments. The bosses are alright, but some of them were fun to fight, especially because there's one that looks like Spider-Man and another that looks like Godzilla.
The soundtrack is fine, not the most memorable from Yuzo Koshiro, but decent enough.
And there are no more hostages to save, which doesn't really mean much, because in the original they were always in the way to the end, but still nice to not have to worry about them.
There are only two things I didn't like about this game:
- Some of the enemy placement could get rather annoying, especially in tight areas.
- Some of the jumps are very precise, and you can just barely make them.
Besides that, Revenge of Shinobi, while not an amazing game by any means, was a fine enough game on its own right, and better than its predecessor, but not by a whole lot.

This game wasn't that good but I was surprised spider-man was a boss in this and the last damn stage was a maze of doors that was really really annoying.
