Yup Kunoichi plays exactly like Shinobi. The chakra guage is new, but it been a while since I played the game, so I odnt remember exactly what it is. I'm pretty sure it was some way for you to power up the sword while killing, I guess to substitue that you weren't using Akujiki(coolest katana name and sword ever).

As for reviewers and certain games I say if I have fun, its worth it. I'll be the judge on Final Fight Streetwise. I've played plently a game knowing the major reviewer public didn't like it, and I've kept my copy.

Brave or Grave
