Like the original console games? Forget this...
I loved the original Playstation game, and thought I couldn't go wrong with picking up another version of the franchise for the DS, looking forward to how the stylus and split screen might be put to use in such a stealth-based tactical game.It was very dissapointing to discover the answer to the above question is 'not at all'. But worst of all, this plays nothing like the original at all - it's not first person, for a start, and plays more like a poor version of an 80's above-viewed cheap arcade game. There is no interaction with buildings or thier roofs, and there isn't even the option to 'creep' about; you just run about at one stupid speed. Not very 'ninja' really.Finally, the fighting is cheapened by having only one chopping action. Even if you sneak up behind someone - the animation doesn't change; just a stupid same old swing of the sword, and a same old silly death. If the graphics were just everso slightly poorer, I could imagine playing this exact game on a ZX Spectrum or Commodore 64 - it's that unsophisticated.Avoid. A real turkey.

Simple but entertaining
I am currently playing the game and it's quite easy to play for amateur gamers.
