25) Ninja PRO: Ninja's decidedly better than its Ninja-themed counterparty in the days of older in that it's actually playable. CON: Everything else. Whereas Ninja Assault (and every other Ninja-themed game for that matter) is too hard to be worth it, Ninja makes Kirby's Adventure seem like Battletoads. The object of the game is to charge right and survive. You know Action 52 scrolling? This is the one time when it definitely plays to your advantage since your guy moves very quickly across the screen, and since your enemies (those guys in red at the left edge of the screen in the shot to the right are the only enemies in the game) don't kill you to the touch (only the stars they throw are deadly), those coming from the right will probably cross you before throwing a star. Most stars will come from the left, and since no less than 80% of the screen is to your left, you should usually have more than ample time to react. This whole thing makes it ridiculously easy. Scary as this might sound, this incarnation of Ninja might do more to advance the ninja-related cause than any other ninja-themed game. Because your ninja easily and quickly conquers this game, he looks like the baddest ass who was ever crass. This is in stark contrast to every other ninja-themed game where the challenge is so high you'd think it was inspired by a throng of moronic Maddox fanbots, naught but their undesirability surpasses their pro-pirate passion. So yeah, a total failure. |
