Shinobido: Way of the Ninja - [ Playstation 2 ] - Intro & Gameplay
Continuing the theme of the great repeat of video 1-10, this is;
Shinobido - Way of the Ninja
Released in 2005 about two years after Way of the Samurai 2, Shinobido is Acquire's way of recapturing their long lost glory after losing the rights for Tenchu to From Software ( HOW?! HOW DO YOU LOSE THE RIGHTS?! AND THOSE BASTARDS DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH IT!!!! ), because yes that's right. Acquire were the developers of the original Tenchu series.
Shinobido shares many similarities with Tenchu therefore but not only that, it's firmly rooted in the world of Way of the Samurai series, so much so that a character even shows up in Way of the Samurai 3.
But is the game any good?
... Well it's not Tenchu. It has flaws that bug me a lot at least the PSP version Shinobido: Tales of the Ninja does. I feel it also goes rather overboard in certain aspects and just doesn't have the same interesting stuff as Tenchu had. This is the curse of Shinobido, it'll always get compared to Tenchu.
But overall, it is an adequate game and well worth a play.
