Funny - I came out of Mini Ninjas will almost exactly the opposite impression. I found the slower, exploratory sections to be frequently beautiful, with a real sense for aesthetic stimulation. The action? Pretty much bland, repetitive and mundane, and what brought the game down to painfully-close-to-average for me.

I guess that just goes to show how ridiculously hard gamers are to please, eh? Half of a game's potential audience will adore the very thing that the other half despises.

True. Though you're definitely certifiably insane for liking the boss battles. Liking the bosses, sure - they reminded me of Hayao Miyazaki's characters. But the battles themselves? Preposterous, poorly explained and painfully mundane nonsense.

I haven't played the game, but I always find Jason's reviews very convincing. He has a habit of naming his audience and his audience's attributes (in this case I really enjoyed the whole opening where he talks about the pacing of the game for the quarter-munching crowd) which I always find locks things in right away for me.
Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic." |

According to Ulrik Hauen-Limkilde IO designed the game for a younger audience (main reason there is no blood). Ulrik also said that they put a lot of detail into the game so much so that even the Samurai speak Japanese.
