Is it still worth playing?
The early lives of the Azuma ninja Rikimaru and Ayame are the story of this 2000 PlayStation stealth game, as they and a fellow ninja, Tatsumaru, confront a militant force called the Burning Dawn. The player controls the chosen character in a 3D world from a third-person view, using ninja tools and stealth to dispatch enemies. Missions are set in varied places and at different times of day: farmland, bamboo forests, mountains, beaches, ships, villages and caverns. After each mission a rank is given for things like enemies killed and times spotted, and high ranks unlock gadgets. A Mission Editor lets players create their own missions, with level layout, characters and objectives. Creeping up on guards is still the point of it today.
