Sometimes a mod comes along that just really enhances the game. One of them was the one by Slice 'n Dice. This Ninja mod reminds me of that one, but it is still unique.

I must warn you that this is an incredibly bloody mod. So if that's not your cup of tea, steer clear of this. Otherwise, download it and play it a bit - even with just a few bots. It's a great mod. Usually when I test something, I just play for a few minutes, but I spent a good half hour testing each weapon and I had a lot of fun playing it. Quite a few things have changed. You have no force. But trust me, you won't miss it. The game focuses on melee and weapon combat. There are some great new special moves for melee and for some of the weapons. There's this one move with one of the star thingies, that is just a lovely spin move. You have to see it. Not sure there's a screenshot down there of it - but a screenie wouldn't do it justice anyway. The HUD has completely changed - for the better. There are no pickups, so there's no point in running from your enemy. You can throw your weapon, so if you're a good aim, you could probably chop someone's head off in one toss of a blade.

This is a great mod that revives JA somewhat for me. If you've grown weary of the same old sabering, give this mod a shot. It might breathe new life into an old game for you. smile

I don't mean to bring you down, but I found this mod pretty dreadful in its current state. Your attempt at realism by forcing the player to "pull the bolt" every time you shoot is annoying but I guess some people will like it.
The Officers' ability to drop toxic gas and artilery is terrible. It's very frustrating to get killed randomly, and it adds nothing of value to the gameplay.
The biggest problem I had when playing was really the red effect when you get hit. It paints nearly your entire screen red and only leaves a small circle in the middle, and it makes it impossible to play. I'm guessing its supposed to limit your vision, but it hurt my eyes to a point where I had to suicide every time I got hit. I hope you guys keep working hard on this mod to improve it. My advice is "gameplay before realism".
