Excuse, if any were needed, to buy yourself a decent gamepad. If anything, Namco has undersold this one, for not only are the graphics far more vibrant and detailed than the console versions, but the price is almost stupidly low. In all honesty there isn't anything blindingly new or innovative here (some sections are strongly reminiscent of Mystical Ninja on the N64), but in terms of variety, energy and fun, you definitely won't be left wanting. As well as fast-paced swordplay, youĬan take control of turrets, throw explosive darts and shurikens, bound between walls, use a chain to swing between ledges and even guide exploding barrels and metal balls around the place. A fairly typical cartoon-style adventure, it puts you in control of a diminutive assassin with Gallagher eyebrows to fight against hordes of henchmen, robotic dogs and other baddies. That's why we get crap like Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior and Red Faction and very little of the interesting stuff like Ninja Gaiden and Super Monkey Ball. This may be true for some, but certainly not for all, and yet whenever a console publisher raids its catalogue for a game PC people might like, it always opts for the shooter. Game publishers seem to assume that all we PC players want are shooters and historical strategy games, and if they're set in World War II, so much the better.
