Ninja Spirit: Good concept. Player has several weapons: sword, stars, torch with a hook thing, razor noose (looks like the extender arm on Bionic Commando)...all weapons are infinite in number: applic. The player has total control of attack while jumping, and can manuever in air. As the player progresses, he can gain a snazzy "upgrade" to his weapons/self. So far, there is the ability to make your sword nicer and get a shadow dup. of yourself. Hence, twice the attack ability. Unfortunately, you get one chance at the two listed items, and if you die, they are gone forever. The game is unwinnable without them, so although you have 4 lives, if you die, you might as well kill yourself off. The game gets basically impossible, and thus loses its enjoyment factor kinda quick. I pride myself on game playing adaptability, so I speak from the heart. Graphics: I give it a 5 out of 10 Overall: blue light special this baby. ...Sage
