Opening Snide Remarks: I played the arcade version and absolutely loved it.  
I hope that this game is good, as well.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Descripion: Shadow Dancer is basically just Shinobi with a dog.  If
you like Shinobi, which I do, then you'll love this game.  You can use your
canine companion to dispatch bad guys and sometimes he will alert you to an
enemy that you can't even see yet.  This game rocks!    
Liked: The fact that this game is like Shinobi with a dog. 
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Shadow Dancer is a great looking Genesis game.  It has
some well-detailed sprites with some huge bosses.  This is a great looking 
game.
Liked: HUGE Bosses.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Shadow Dancer has some pretty good music.  It's not 
as upbeat as Shinobi's, though.  The sound fx are good.  They're very 
reminiscent of Shinobi. 
Liked: Good music.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: This game controls perfectly.  The controls are 
easy to learn and they respond well.  The game design is good.  This is 
simply a great game.
Liked: Great controls.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Improve: A Dreamcast sequel to this game or Shinobi would be awesome.

RIYL: Shinobi series

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Shadow Dancer is still an awesome game.  The use of your dog 
makes this game so unique.  If you still have a Genesis, then keep an eye out
for this game.
