A Shinobi follow-up starring a futuristic robot ninja. Well-paced action and varied stages make it solid. Less iconic than its predecessor but a worthy action game for fans of the genre.

"Classic"
In the service of a cyber-ninja future, the music unfurls nervy, rousing themes that galvanise every action level. The melodies, cut for the console's chip, distil a constant heroic energy. This retro sonic punch, faithful to the Shinobi spirit, accompanies the adventure with intact bite.

The European and Brazilian edition of The Cyber Shinobi, the platformer where a cyber-ninja takes on robots in a dystopian future, a futuristic extension of Sega's Shinobi saga. Its desirability rests on its attachment to a prestigious ninja license and the dual Europe-Brazil marking, the latter a witness to the console's longevity in Latin America. Collectors seek it to complete the Shinobi branch on Master System.
