Cyber Shinobi's a lot like the other Shinobi games for the Sega series of consoles, except that the scrolling is naff and blocky and the graphics are crappy. The MEAN MACHINES lads didn't like this one much when they reviewed it.

What we said then

Presentation
73%
A fairly straightforward title screen and little in the way of options.
Graphics
61%
The dire animation and mediocre backgrounds fail to impress in any way.
Sound
57%
As with the rest of the game, the sound is diabolical and weedy in the extreme.
Playability
62%
The gameplay is repetitive, dull and predictable and lacks the thrills expected of a beat em up.
Lastability
49%
Despite the number of levels, Cyber Shinobi won't be played for long due to the reasons above.
Overall
58%
A very poor effort indeed which is bound to disappoint even the biggest Sega fans.
JAZ
Cyber Shinobi features some rubbish graphics, with gaudy and badly defined backdrops, jerky scrolling and very poor sprites.
MATT
As for the music... well, let's just say that Mozart's got nothing to worry about.

What we say now

JAZ
It must hove been charity to Master System beat em ups month! Cyber Shinobi is absolute cack - there should be a T between the I and the N - and deserves 25% off all the marks.
RICH
Arghhh! Two years on and I had almost forgot the sadness that was Cyber Shinobi. Now I have been brutally reminded. Cyber Shinobi's rubbish. Everything about it is awful. I'd deduct 20% from each mark, including the overall percentage.
