REVIEW:
It was pretty epic to see the star of Ninja Gaiden make it to a fighting game. His fighting game incarnation wasn't a bad design, but honestly, I've seen better designed fighting game ninjas... Wait, isn't it impossible to "see" ninjas? Ha ha. Cheap joke, I know.

In all seriousness, his fighting style in the DOA strikes me as "average" along with his personality... He was pretty cool in the next gen Ninja Gaiden games though.
