After beating Data East's Rampage and seeing how awful the game was, I vowed to never play another Data East creation again.<BR><BR>But now I just got finished reading Dr. Boogie's review for this game. He seemed to enjoy the game a little, so I decided to give Data East one more chance. I then downloaded it from I-Mockery.<BR><BR>I'm very glad I did.<BR><BR>You see I've always been a big fan of the fighting genre. I've played all the big ones. Double Dragon,<BR>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, even Battletoads. But I have to say I've never played one as fun as this.<BR><BR>Originality:8<BR>You play as two dudes. One named Blade, the other named Striker. Your mission: to save the President.<BR>Because this game was made in 1989, my guess is that your saving Ronald Regan. Among many great accomplishments, he also worked to stop global terrorism. And that must've ticked a gang of ninjas off. So they then proceed to capture the pres and of course you have to rescue him.<BR><BR>Game Play:10<BR>Both Blade & Striker control the exact same. The only way to tell who's who is their outline. Blade has a red outline while Striker has a light yellow one. The moves in the game are easy to pull off. Press B once to throw a punch. Press it a whole bunch of times and they throw straight left right punches and some times kick. And if you press A and B at the same time, you can do a truly devastating move; the SPINING AIR KICK. It kinda reminds me of Ryu or Ken Masters Hurricane Kick.<BR><BR>Music:10<BR>The music is so stinkin' great! It fits right in with the game perfectly. But the sound effects are a different story. When you get chopped or kicked by a ninja, it makes this odd 'blup' noise. I'm not even going to talk about the downright EVIL roar that he emits when I defeat a boss. He HAS to be under demonic control.<BR><BR>Whether you download this game, or buy it, I don't care. Just get it!!<BR><BR>
