The one way to kill all excitement for me
Hopefully it's free to play at least.
Well it might be good.
I dont like this aproach, the arcade nature of crazy taxy was the fun factor
That no good.
But I hope if they reboot Shinobi in 3D then make it similar to Ninja Gaiden, if not then 2D is fine.
I miss Ninja Gaiden... :(
the first 3d shinobi reboot came years before the 3d ninja gaiden reboot.
Oh yeah forgot about that. Played that on PS2, couldn't finish it cause it was average unfortunately
this might be fun
On one hand, this sounds like a good way to release a game that is dead inside of a year.
On the other hand, Crazy Taxi was already a sort of open world game, and I can easily imagine some level of multiplayer being added to the basic gameplay loop of getting from Point A to B while breaking traffic laws.
