Shinobi for PlayStation 2

Description

SynopsisA sinister force has been awakened in Tokyo and Hotsuma, leader of the Oboro clan, must save what is left of his clan and seek vengeance for his people in post-apocalyptic Japan. You are hunted by demons and haunted by the dead as you search the streets for answers. With the special Stealth Dash technique, you'll create ghostlike apparitions that confuse your enemies. You can then strike with a lightning-quick Tate in which your blade moves so fast the victims don't even realize they've been struck until they fall to their death. Drawing off the ancient traditions of Ninja magic, you'll use wall running, shuriken attacks and the coveted Akujiki Sword to fight the deadly masked foes that stalk you. You'll experience unbelievable next-generation graphics and unlimited gameplay freedom. Find secret arenas and hidden items in your quest for vengeance. Explore a mysterious and dangerous post-apocalyptic world.
