LAST NINJA 2
VARIOUS, 1988
■
Nothing like The Last Ninja was ever produced by System 3’s rivals in the years after its release, which made its sequel all the more anticipated. Given that it was bound to be a big success for System 3, it’s admirable that so much effort was spent on distinguishing Last Ninja 2 from the original with a modern-day New York setting. Other innovations include stationary enemies with ranged weapons, such as a clown juggling knives and a foe dropping plant pots from a top-floor apartment. The end result is a fantastic sequel that arguably improves on the original in every possible way.
