I Ninja...

[Droo]

anyone played I ninja for the gamecube? and is it worth buying?

[Meh]

Played the XB version. Didn't think much of it after a while, then I was bored one day and decided to load it up again. I'm glad I did.

Good little game, if rather scruffy.

[Seerow]

The video I saw of it looked rather spiffy, but the same moves where used all the time, of course assuing anything from a video is wrong but I want to get to 400 tonight.

I've played it, and I loved it. A charming little platformer with plenty of variation, and those little touches that lift it above the average crowd.

Recommended.

Im playing the Xbox version at the moment. Its a cracking platformer.

The controls remind me of PoP, and the gameplay is along the lines of Sonic Adventure.

It has lots of nice little touches, mainly in terms of the character design. Like the way he finishes a wall run either with a handplant or by balancing on two fingers in true Ninja style

Nope, I have the 'cube version right here. Lovely little thing it is (apart from Egg Shell Skull!!)

i thought the PAL cube version was scratched ... i've seen adverts in EGM showing that its properly multiformat in the states

i was just wondering about PAL releases and NOE ...

I've played it for 30 minutes on the Box.

It's not very innovative, it steals a lot from other games. It does combine a lot of strong elements though.

Jak & Daxter meets Prince of Persia meets Super Monkey Ball.

Very enjoyable.

I played the first few levels, on the Xb, and I think its super. You have just reminded me to play it some more in fact

[Judgement]

i have not played it, but it dose look like a pretty decent game in the long run, should be good fun to play though

Glad i could be of assistance

Now all i need to do is get a copy of it myself!

Any ideas of length yet people?

Im hoping for a sub 15hr game here

[Hoop]

In PAL regions, its exclusive to PS2 for the time being.

It is an excellent game though.

Had a new, sealed copy sat in my house since xmas when i ordered it for my GC but it turned up minus Pacman VS Worth breaking the seal or should i flog it? Any idea what the completion time is cos i'm a gamer on a time budget here? cheers.

Sell it. A lot of effort has gone into I-Ninja but it's been developed by well meaning if creatively abject individuals. All the levels are as blinkered as Crash Bandicoot and it suffers from the same problem as Ratchet and Clank i.e. all the extra mini-games are piss poor.

It constantly surprises me how often people are willing to forgive averageness. That's all it is. The game will be forgotten in two months time, and no one will ever mention it again. Ever.

IMO, break the seal and enjoy it for what it is - a very well put together platformer with a fair bit of variety.

It's possible to see the end in 6-8hrs, but getting all of the grades on the various levels will take you considerably longer if you want to reach 100%.

I don't see how I-Ninja is average. I even enjoyed the Monkey Ball sections more than Monkey Ball! And it's voiced by Billy West! (Fry from Futuama.)

[bomber]

I agree, it's defintely way above average. For a truly average platformer try TY The Tasmanian Tiger.

[M.M.S]

Gonna finish Pacman World 2 over the weekend. No idea why cos it's shite but i want Ms.Pacman Then i'll give INinja a shot a let you know who i agree with...the idea of fry from Futurama doing the voice has purked me up for playing it plenty!
