About this product
Product Information
Battle through a post-apocalyptic landscape, defeat demons, and manage the power of an ancient soul-stealing sword as you balance the forces of good and evil. In Shinobi for PlayStation 2, you control Hotsuma as he slashes at enemies in search of answers about the mysterious sword he possesses. This action genre game is packed with stunning graphics, anime-style videos, and awesome slash action gameplay. Shinobi for PS2 follows the adventures of Hotsuma, who is the leader of the Oboro ninja clan. The ninja warrior became leader of his clan by wielding the power of Akujiki, a magic sword that holds evil powers. Akujiki steals the souls of those it kills and can slowly steal the soul of its possessor if it is not fed with new souls. After an earthquake, Tokyo is overrun with hellspawn and the Oboro clan is destroyed. Hotsuma must beat demons, reanimated ninjas, and other enemies in battle while claiming new souls for his sword. The gameplay in Shinobi for PlayStation 2 offers an action video game that features a classic hack and slash style. You use the controls to make jab and slash attacks on each enemy. As the game progresses, the enemies become harder to defeat. After each kill, Akujiki consumes the enemy’s soul, but if you go too long between kills, it starts to consume Hotsuma’s soul. Hotsuma also has a few other powers up his sleeve. He can use ninja powers to use fire and shock waves against his enemies, become temporarily invincible, paralyze attackers, or run and jump at his opponents. You must learn new powers to beat enemies in harder levels. There are eight levels in the game, and each level ends when Hotsuma defeats a boss. Shinobi for PlayStation 2 is the product of Overworks and Sega. The development and publishing team originally created the game for Sega Dreamcast games systems, but released it on PlayStation 2 when Dreamcast ceased production. Overworks and Sega launched the game for a November 2002 release date in the Japanese and North American markets. This product is the Japanese version, which is playable on Japanese and European Region 2 PlayStation 2 consoles. It is not compatible with other games systems and versions such as Nintendo 3DS or PS4. The game features an M for Mature rating due to violence. This Shinobi game for PlayStation 2 is the 10th game in the popular Shinobi series, which first launched in 1987. Previous games in the series include the original Shinobi arcade and PC game, Shadow Dancer, and The Revenge of Shinobi. Subsequent versions include Nightshade and Shinobi 3D. The original games were arcade games and featured a lead character named Joe Musashi. This classic character appears in Shinobi for PS2 as a hidden character. You can unlock him by successfully completing missions. You can find Shinobi for PS2 games at a variety of budget levels. The game is discontinued in disc form, but you can still find collector’s discs to add to your collection.Product Identifiers

Interesting update into the 3D era and moves away from classic Shinobi, but still works
This game is overall good, even more so when you consider the time of release. There is quality to the artwork albeit an overall dark aesthetic/environments. The biggest drawback of the game is the camera, how "flimsy" it is to move and stay at a rough angle and/or its inability to keep up with the intensely fast-paced action. You can move the camera with the right analog stick but if Overworks had been able to implement a Tomb Raider/Soul Reaver-like camera, it would have been SO good.

Game review
One of the most bad ass samurai games of PS2 with an epic storyline, sucks they don't make them like they use to. There is also another game parallel to this called Nightshade. This game really gets you on the edge and gets addictive very quick.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Good Then, Good Now
I loved this game when I played it years ago. Though I hated it because of how hard it was. But it's a fun game and, even if you put aside the story, it has good, engaging gameplay. In case you're wondering, the story is akin to the 1st NES Ninja Gaiden game except it's more concentrated on the protagonist's clan.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Beast of a game.
I'm going to say it. I think this is the hardest game that I've ever completed. This game is alot of fun, but it will test you. The later levels are ungodly hard. If you want a great ninga game, and a real challenge, it doesn't get much better.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
