This game is one of the most fun I've played in ages - it has all the elements to keep you entertained whilst presenting quite a challenge to even hardened gamers.

The immense variety of gameplay alongside the constant promise of the next belt and better swords throughout the game keeps you playing into the small hours, and the opportunity to play bonus levels plus replaying levels against the clock etc. allow for days of enjoyable gameplay.

Yes it's a platformer, one of many in a broad genre that has been spawning games of all qualities for decades. However, I-Ninja draws on the experiences of the past to present a distillation of the best aspects of platforming fun. And he's a Ninja with attitude - what more could you ask for?!

If you enjoy platform games, like messing around as a cartoon Ninja and are looking for some fun to occupy you for many, many hours, I-Ninja is well worth checking out.

Harken to the words of an actual gamer, someone who recognises originality, variety, fun and gameplay when he sees it.

This game rocks. Its quite simple really, the control method is intuitive and easy to master, making complex-looking moves and combos easy to execute. Running up a vertical wall and kick-jumping between buildings and platforms is just as easy as chain-swinging over ravines or slicing an enemy in half, either vertically or horizontally.
Battling enemies is where the game comes into its own. The combat system is a cinch to learn and use and you soon find yourself fighting up to 10 foes at once. And winning!

Of the 64 levels, there are only a few I've not finished yet, due to the addictive nature of the game. just hopng it unlocks something cool! There are sword upgrades a-plenty, and defeating bosses teaches you new rage skills, which help give you a further edge over the enemy.

The speed of Sonic, the variety of Mario and the sword skills to best Zelda. How can this not ROCK?!!!

First off, I really like the cute ninja guy. This game is pretty hilarious, and fun to play. The only real gripe I have is that some of the challenges are impossible. For example, there's this one test you can take, that unfortunately, is on a time limit. (Time limit challenges are abundant). You have 30 seconds to slingshot around this track and then rail grind to the finish. I've got the slingshot down pat. But, the rail grind part is really hard. It has these spiky bombs on it, and you have to use your sword to helicopter to the last platform to get the grade. The only problem is, the time limit is cut SO fine, that it's practically impossible to complete. I spent about two hours trying to get the grade, but finally threw my controller on the floor and gave up.

I don't normally play platformers, but I had a lot of fun with the Ratchet and Clank games, but I just can't handle the time limits in I Ninja. I do recommend this game for hard core platform gamers, though. You'll get a kick out of the ninja's sarcastic comments and funny story. There's not anything really new here, it's pretty standard fare where platformers are concerned.

The bottom line: Great (and cute) character, but very difficult in places.
