I-Ninja

"Sleeper hit, great price!"

Tired of playing the same game over and over again? Want a little varitey in your gameplay? Do you like comedy and action, even a little bit of drama? This is the game for you! I-Ninja has got to be the sleeper hit of 2004, it has a great blend of many types of gameplay and they all seem to come together seemlessly!

Graphics (10) The graphcs set the mood for the game! They are rather cartoony, but very descript! Everthing is very clear and defined and well lit. The graphics are not the most realistic I have ever seen, but they are perfect for this game. Great job!

Sound (10) The sound is wonderful, the music keeps you in the action mood and the sound effects are very fun!

Controls (8) This section got an 8, not because of the controls tehmselves, but for the camera. I am not saying the camera was horrible, it was actually rather nice, but it still has a little room for improvement. The controls themselves are really nice, never overly complex at all, which keeps the game fun and not frustrating.

Replay value (9) This may be a rash since i havent beat eh game yet, but I give it a 9/10! I think it would be fun to run around and kill ninjas after beating the game a few times, so there ya go!

Gameplay (10) This is where the game REALLY shines, the moves are easy, combos flow naturally, but it is not too easy. There is a challange there, more than just go around and collect everything like most games have been lately. Also the gameplay varies depending on what you are doing! There are parts in the game that play similar to super monkey ball or marble madness, parts that play like tony hawks pro skater that have you grinding rails, and parts that play like Ninja Gaiden and have you running on walls!

Overall 9/10 This game is very deserving of a 9, go to your local game store, at the time of writing I picked this game up for $20 brand new! There isn't a better deal out there!
