Nightshade might not offer the freshest experience, but there are few repetitious games on the market that I'd rather spend my time with.

SEGA Unleashes "Nightshade" On PlayStation 2
'Shinobi' Brand Extension Introduces Hibana, a Female Ninja Equipped with Deadly Weapons and a Killer Body
Description
As menacing demons and monsters fill the city of Tokyo, panicked government officials call upon the extreme cunning and power of a new ninja talent named Hibana. The amazing skills of this young female fighter earned her respect at an early age and she was offered masterful training from one of the Oboro Clan's most esteemed warriors. With sharp precision and incredible speed, Hibana battles fierce enemies atop a moving fighter jet, trucks, and more, while narrowly dodging enemy missiles. Her mastery of the ancient Tate Attack allows her to slay an unlimited number of enemies at once. With the Stealth Dash, she leaves her shadowy likeness behind as she runs circles around her lumbering enemies, which confuses them and makes them vulnerable to her fatal sword blows. Hibana alone must power through 13 incredible, destructible environments to defeat hordes of Hellspawn newly awakened by the ancient Akujiki curse. Play as Hibana, the sleek and deadly ninja heroine. Intense non-stop combat action with devastating mid-air assaults and defense maneuvers. Test your ninja skills in Story, Time-Attack, and Survival Modes. Destroy evil and restore health with powerful Ninja Magic. Invoke a ghost-image decoy to surprise enemies in the Stealth Dash Attack. Endless enemies will be destroyed instantly with the mighty Tate Attack.
Notes
"Nightshade" is formerly known as "Kunoichi" (it remains "Kunoichi" in Japan)
