I'm part way through chapter 10. Yeah, like FacilityPro said, it's a long, complex stage.

I've beaten the electric worm and drained the red water chamber.


Anyway, regarding Ninja Gaiden's story... Well, the whole idea of "ninja must avenge his slain clan" probably hasn't been original for hundreds of years. For Shinobi, I had some extra fondness for the story, probably as a result of lingering sentimentality on my part for the brothers in that game.

Ninja Gaiden's story is pretty goofy, anyway. Like, in the last chapter, I supposedly put the Viggo (sp?) army in ruin by destroying their radio antenna. Yeah, that's probably the most vital thing in the entire country, and I'm sure it could never be repaired.
