A slight improvement over the original, but I still don't understand why I'm forced to walk through an entire game where I play a master ninja.
Um jogo lindo graficamente, na soundtrack, na historia, em TUDO, agora a dificuldade é de torar. (usei save mesmo, se eu não tivesse usado eu passaria meses tentando).
I know how much important this game is and I will definitely play it through for completionism sake, but it made me wish to return to the sequels asap.
Revenge of Shinobi, while keeps a lot of the same elements as the original Arcade game, it improves upon some things to make it a decent sequel in my eyes.
The stages are more dynamic, and they have a nice variety of environments. The bosses are alright, but some of them were fun to fight, especially because there's one that looks like Spider-Man and another that looks like Godzilla.
The soundtrack is fine, not the most memorable from Yuzo Koshiro, but decent enough.
And there are no more hostages to save, which doesn't really mean much, because in the original they were always in the way to the end, but still nice to not have to worry about them.
There are only two things I didn't like about this game:
- Some of the enemy placement could get rather annoying, especially in tight areas.
- Some of the jumps are very precise, and you can just barely make them.
Besides that, Revenge of Shinobi, while not an amazing game by any means, was a fine enough game on its own right, and better than its predecessor, but not by a whole lot.

This game wasn't that good but I was surprised spider-man was a boss in this and the last damn stage was a maze of doors that was really really annoying.
Jogo muito desafiador, muitas vezes até injusto, mas o saldo final é positivo. Usei todos os poderes do emulador para acelerar meu aprendizado, e depois de um tempo, fui capaz de fechar o jogo sem save state, mas se não fosse por isso, dificilmente eu teria zerado, não sinto que trapaceei da forma em que fechei, só não tenho tempo pra ficar meses num unico jogo que na sua época, fazia sentido ser artificialmente difícil para ser mais longo. (Um detalhe importante é que, foi o anuncio de um novo shinobi que me empolgou para jogar pela primeira vez um jogo da série)
