This game is not only cute, but addictive and fun!
What drew me to Mini Ninjas in the first place was its cast of interesting characters, the awesome cell shaded art style (reminicent of Zelda: Windwaker), and its fun yet simplistic controls. I will admit that this game is a bit more of the been there and done that routine, but when you are having so much fun...who cares. Its funny how many first person shooters get high scores despite lacking originality. Why do platformers always get dumped on?
Difficulty wise this is not the hardest game to beat, but at least its a fun campaign. As a gamer who doesnt get to spend countless hours on games anymore I tend to prefer easier story based games.
I just want to finish this review by fully recommending Mini Ninjas. I think Io interactive did a great job with this title and I hope it sells well enough to garner a sequel.
