Video Game Reviews of I Ninja
Customer Review: I Confused it with Something Stupid, Pointless and Crude.
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a good thing that I replayed this game, because it was much better than I remembered. You have at least that to thank me for.
The game begins a lot like many other ninja games and movies in existence. You, Ninja (yep, that's your name) must avenge your master's death (I think his name was Master). Well, actually, you killed him, but you sort of blame it on enemy ninja-robots (and samurai-robots) and their master Emperor O-Dor. What the game lacks in the way of an arch nemesis, it makes up in fart jokes. Because this game is, overall, funny. It is both droll and amusing, but manages to keep tongue-in-cheek.
The setup for the level select is nicely simple, and reminded me of Ty, the Tasmanian Tiger (the video game stupid, not the man). The Ninja roams about the land, which varies from town to town, righting wrongs. A group of levels (about three regular levels and one boss level) makes up an arena. Each arena has a subplot of its own, the first being the most creative (a giant robot, once the king of the beach, has been disassembled by the evil Emperor. You fight his minions to reclaim the robot's body parts, only to do battle with another giant robot when you've put the first back together (ala Godzilla)).
The advancement system was kind of interesting. With each level you complete, you earn ninja medals, which go towards your ninja belts, which in turn raise your ninja health. I am not sure if ninja mastery is shown by karate-esque belts, but hey, let's keep going. With every enemy robot you take down splurting green robot goo, you earn points toward your new sword, the purpose of which is to take down even more enemies faster than ever.
What the game does lack is extra features. Sure, there are jokes about people's grandmas, but beyond that there is not much else to do. Still, this game has a weird replay value. If you play it some, put it on a shelf for awhile, then take it down again, it still is fun to gruesomely smash your enemy's face into the pavement knee deep in sticky, green robot goop.
