Last Ninja 2

The Last Ninja 2 is the sequel to the original game (as featured on Play It Again Sam 12). The scenario has moved on in Ninja 2 from the Dark Ages in the Far East, to the 1990s in downtown New York. Here your adversaries are somewhat different, but are still just as difficult to overcome.

There are various levels to work through in your quest, from the paths of Central Park alive with muggers to the streets of Manhattan with its down and outs.

Graphics and gameplay in Ninja 2 are very similar to the original. If you enjoyed the first game then you will probably like this one too. For myself, I found the game enjoyable but the key combinations, as in the original, sometimes left me in a state of some confusion with the inevitable loss of a life. Don't let this put you off though.
