"Those of you who loved the music from the second game will not be disappointed, as Shinobi III boasts some great songs throughout, all done with a bit of an eastern flavor to them."
I hate to get all technical, but Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi (1990) came after Revenge of Shinobi. Otherwise, great review. I think the added moves, as you said, make him more ninja like. The game was a vast improvement over Revenge, though, in every way. My only real complaint is that the timing on the double jump can get a bit frustating, having to do at the peak of the first jump.
