The Review Ninjas

Of course we had to take a look at this one! Ken Ogawa is a ninja after our own hearts. He fends off the people of Tokyo after they have been turned into monsters by alpha worms. With his skills at the sword, the twin knives, and the Stonerender, he takes on huge bosses. While there are about 3 bosses per level, the gameplay does seem to get repetitive after a while. I mean, one level is even named déjà vu and goes back to previous levels. Ken does have some sweet moves though and the in game cinematics are amazing. One big downside though, the overuse of quick time events where you have to press the correct button that pops up on screen. If you are not a fan of those, we do not suggest this game. They are everywhere. However with the awesome cinematics we were willing to overlook that. Some elements of the game shows us that the developers certainly did not mean for this game to be taken seriously. As one of the costume choices, you are allowed to dress up as a ninja clown. We are all for using any tactics to confuse your enemy… but clowns?

I give it 3.5 ninja stars!
For great cinematics and combat.
