Lovers of oriental artistry, pay attention, as this superbly
put together offering is now available on the cheap side.
The mission, as before, is to battle your way through four
levels of gruesome adversaries, rescue the President of
the USA and fly him to safety, before the villains can do the
dirty on him.
Utilising some excellent graphics and very atmospheric
sound effects, you start off with the usual martial
arts skills of punching, kicking and jumping.
A little mastering of the controls will also afford a very
handy flying kick and a power punch, enabling you to knock
down more than one enemy at a time.
As you progress, look out for the evil shuriken throwing
Ninja Assassins. There are also some pretty nifty
Women Warriors and guard dogs to deal with, before you
come face to face with the end of level bad guys.
These consist of a firebreathing Fat Man, an armour
clad giant and the Green and Gruesome Giant
Ninja, who has a terrible habit of multiplying himself, much
to your chagrin.
Each of these guardians can only be dealt with by
multiple blows, so be prepared for a struggle.
To help you out a little, keep your eyes peeled for
extra weapons in your path and, be sure to pick up the
capsules offering extra time and energy, or you'll be hard
put to complete each level in time.
All in all, a top notch conversion that'll totally hook
Ninja fans, as well as lovers of a good old beat-'em-up.
Well worth getting hold of on the budget label.
