Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Shinobi series (3 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Sega
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Action
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          A popular series of arcade games involving a Japanese
                  warrior and his faithful hound ported to the Genesis in
                  order to boost the platform's slow sales.

IMPRESSIONS:      Impressive in their day, with neat 2D sidescrolling
                  graphics.  Animation is rather limited, but it's the
                  wild gameplay that everybody remembers.  The series gets
                  better as it goes, but they're no match for the arcade
                  originals.

VARIATIONS:       The first game in the series, Shinobi, was released for
                  the Sega Master System in 1987.  It is not available for
                  the Genesis so far as is known.

                  Revenge of Shinobi (1989, aka Super Shinobi - the most
                    faithful "feel" of the original arcade ports, according
                    to the Rage Games writeup - also features a cameo by
                    Spiderman - both English/Japanese in one cart, set
                    console accordingly)
                  Shadow Dancer - The Secret of Shinobi (1990, a side story
                    that pits Shinobi against a reptilian evil bent on
                    enslaving New York)
                  Shinobi 3 - Return of the Master (1993, aka Super Shinobi
                    2 - fast-paced, challenging, and playable, according to
                    the original Rage Games review)

Revenge of Shinobi - A very fun and hard game in which you play Shinobi and have to rescue some girl. Spiderman and Batman make an appearence in this one. Though they both take their names litterally in appearance :) Lots of cool attacks and great music, don't miss this title.

Shadow Dancer - This a side story quest in which Shinobi actually get's a dog to help him out! This game is MUCH more like the original than Revenge of Shinobi. It's because in Shadow Dancer, you have one hit kills and you have rescue people, like in the original. Another great game.

Shinobi 3 - Wow, this game has some really fast paced action scenes and it's lots of fun to play, adding new elements to the Shinobi series.

Definately get these games. On a side note, Shinobi was released on nes, but was horrible because of all the missing stuff from the arcade version. You can also pick up the good ports for sms and game gear. The last shinobi game released in the US was the sub par Shinobi Legends on Saturn. Sega liscened it to Vic Tokai, so osme of the original charm is lost. Just like in Virtual Racing by Time Warner on Saturn.....

I only played Shinobi series in SMS, and the shadow Dancer,

The Shadow Dancer are far more similar to Shinobi(SMS), objective(rescue people) and the boss mode.

The game play is great as recommended by many action game playeres. However, there are some drawbacks in the games i think...
The usage of the dog rare, and also, the weapon is so less (even compare to shinobi of sms verseion:( )

Nevertheless, the game mode on using kanata only can solve those drawbacks.

The game level is quite easy, not many changes in enemy, but the background graphics solve that problems.

There are another main problem with the game, the ending is too short (only a picture for nothing!:( ), can't fullfil the need for "first few time players"

But in general, the game play are very good!! must try for action gamers!

Shinobi 3 was a very fun game to play. The music at times was very heart pounding and fit the gameplay. This game deserves a lot better review than it got.

These games are soo amazing! They are really fun to play! And playing as a Ninja is really cool! The third game in the series is really great! The grafics are quite good to! The Saturn version of the game is better thought.

This is a really fun game series that is still realistic even though you face Spider-man and everybody blows up as if their robots. But I find it a little to hard on certain points. 8.5!

To me, Revenge of Shinobi was excellent because it brought NEW life to the Shinobi series and became the blueprint for further Shinobis (if that's even a word).

If it weren't for Revenge, we would have never seen the great gameplay additions such as double jumping and multiple shruiken throws. As well, the sense of style that Revenge has would not be seen in Shinobi 3, Legions, or the 128-bit versions.

And of course, the tracks on Revenge are outrageous--from the great 1st level music (The Shinobi) to Chinatown to one of my personal all time favorite game musics--Sunset Blvd.

But for playability, I'd have to pick Shinobi 3. Revenge was good (I don't think it's as impossible as the last guy said) but could have used some gameplay improvements and Shadow Dancer was more in line with the arcade versions of Shinobi.

I loved the Shinobi series. They all had great graphics for the time, I mean, Shadow Dancer looked 3 years older than it really was! And Shinobi 3... wow! That's my fave.

Revenge of Shinobi was okay. The game is difficult, that's okay, but at times I just want to shut off the game and go do something else. That damn maze toward the end of the game is enough to make you go crazy.

Shadow Dancer was an average port of the arcade version. The dog is a big bonus, as it allows you to get some of those tricky enemies. I love Shadow Dancer because of its non-shriken(sp?) mode which allows you to attempt the game with just your fists, feet, sword, and dog (except boss stages).

Shinobi III was the best in the series. The music, graphics, and game play are excellent. Even though this game tried at new things (jet board, horse, the jump kick, running slash with the katana...) it scored big in my eyes. The only regret I have is that the game doesn't have a no-shuriken mode like Shadow Dancer. Yeah, you can set the amount to 0 in the options, but it's too easy to pick them up.

Graphics: Enmey sprites need more detail, as does many other things.
***
Sound: Music? It's alright. Sound effects? There O.K too.
**
Game play: Great fun but some time be a bit annoying.
***
Storyline: One second you are a strange looking milertary aitcraft fight a brain in a jar. The next, you are in a scrapyard fighting the Terminator. And THEN you are fightng Spiderman who then turns into Batman. Then you must battle Godzilla. Confused? So am I. The intro is kinda misleading.
**
Life span: Hmmm... its so-so.
***
Overall: Great fun but dosn't last very long.
