Hahahahaha, that last boss was a snore. I loved the arena. Most of the areas in Shinobi and Nightshade were just beautiful. I am a huge sucker for any setting with Sakura trees in it. Ahhhh.

I also loved the stage that had broken buildings with the flooding water around them. The music for that particular level was also cool. The beginning levels were also cool. I put the game in a few days ago since this topic was made and finished off that final boss. Now I get the EX stages!

Nightshade/Kunoichi in my opinion was a fine game. Despite the reviews, I really got my money's worth out of the game. I loved how Hotsuma and Joe Musashi were unlockables. The chick with the umbrella seemed like a gimmick, but man she did have some big (.Y.) I also was dissapointed that Kunoichi wasn't as bloody as Shinobi, and some of the bosses didn't have the same class/style as some in the first game. The weird dude with Fireworks was just lame. At least he got to tap her ass... But the final boss fight was awsome. That took some skill in my opinion. Plus his VO was just bad-ass.

Damn, I need to go and get my copy of Nightshade back...

I also agree that Urban Reign is a good game. Very underrated. The playable character roster alone is nice for this genre of 3D Final Fight. By the way, how is that one? I heard Streetwise sucked.
