A couple of weeks back we got a letter from a Jason Saunders of Corsham in Wiltshire, who was wondering why we never reviewed this game. The answer, Jason, is that Ocean (despite repeated badgering) never sent us a copy. Three months after the fact we've secured one and we now know why they were reticent to send it to us.

Shadow Warriors - currently number 4 in the charts - is a beat-'em-up. Using your ninja skills you've got to slash, hit and duff your way across a New York background on your way to a confrontation with Mr. Large. You have seven fighting moves at your disposal and four jumping movements.

The problem with Shadow Warriors is that it's too slow. What's more, there are far too many baddies on screen at once, making progression through the game a real problem. Animation is only average and the colours are gaudy.
