The Revenge of Shinobi is one of my favorite Genesis games, so when I booted up Ganryu 2 and realized it was basically just The Revenge of Shinobi, I went from six to midnight faster than when I've got a fresh bowl of oatmeal sitting in front of me. From the visuals to the music and, most importantly, the gameplay, every aspect of Ganryu 2 knocks it out of the park, making it one of the best games I've played so far this year. Maybe it'll get super repetitive or cheap or do something to ruin my love as I keep playing, but as far as my first impression goes, I can't recommend Ganryu 2 highly enough.
