Before they pass they give you the little bit of power they still have, so like in a Mega Man game you get a new ability to add to your arsenal. You learn that the enemy has captured them and are syphoning off their powers to fortify their own synthetic army. Once you defeat the boss you "save'' one of the members of your clan as they are dying. The game is linear so you are always shown where you are going next, and each of these stages has a boss. The game is split into levels and laid out on a map resembling the levels in Dr. No matter how many times I died and had to play a part in the level the music was still super catchy and not boring to listen to. Along with the great visuals you have a great soundtrack that is reminiscent of the Mega Man game soundtracks. The colours are bright and vibrant, and the story has cinematic movies just like the Ninja Gaiden games were known for.
