It takes a lot, and I mean a lot for a game to make me quit in fustration, but this one truely takes the cake. Maybe 30 mins into the game, and I encounter The Boss. The kindof boss that makes you wonder how many hits from the economy-sized bong the creators of this 'game' took. Within 10 minutes of fighting(and dying) this boss(multiple times), it struck me that simply, I couldn't beat it. Even the Law of Averages is hiding in it's closet in the face of a craptacular challenge as this. I tossed down the controller, shut off the PS2, and did something else.
As for the rest of the game, it's only subpar. The music is horrendious - some techno crap that completely clashes with the feel of the game. And there's no option to turn it off besides muting the TV. The control and flow of the game is good. Too bad it doesn't block out the half-assed attempt at a storyline. Also throw in the difficulty level. It just gets too high to be fun. Dying right before the boss and having to restart the entire level over isn't enjoyable. Then the game tosses on the soul eating sword you wield. So you better start killing those enemies, else you'll be it's next snack. The ninja-attacks are also only subpar, hardly raiting, 'cool' like they should be. (No stealth at all. Wtf is that? I thought Shinobi was a Ninja.)
In closing, the game gets about as fun as glueing big slabs of meat to your skin with honey, and dropping yourself into a bear cage.

Eh, it's been getting lots of good ratings.
Maybe BM just sucks at it.

What weapons do you have? What attack pattern does the boss follow?

Using the tate system makes the game easy, if you have decent twitch reflexes/are developing your twitch skills.
Then after gaining control of the world, I'll reveal my plans to a young man with spiked hair who forms a party and eventually destroys me.
Remember the most important part of being an evil villain, is revealing your plans to somebody who can stop you with a mysterious past that you happen to be involved in.
