Mini Ninjas

Reviewed by Jason Venter (September 26, 2009)

When there's something to do, which is much of the time, Mini Ninjas can be a lot of fun just because of the number of offensive options that it provides. You're able to sneak stealthily through tall grass and surprise small patrols of soldiers (stealth kills are great), or you can run toward them, leap into the air and then press the appropriate button to unleash a special attack that allows you to dart around in a blur and assassinate several goons at once. Such efforts consume special energy, but your energy is plentiful if you keep the destruction flowing. The game doesn't punish you for attacking just about however you like, either, a welcome fact that makes it easy to decimate entire patrols in seconds.
