Still Getting A Kick Out Of This One

Okay okay, you asked him, you begged him, you pleaded with him, some of you sent him money, the more sensible of you sent him threats, so at last 'Orbaum of the Warped Mind' presents the re-review of Ninja Warrior.

Firstly let me say re-reviewing is a pain in the derriere. However, with a good game the retread is not such a task, and this is a good game. The graphics are simple in motion but well-designed, and the game is simple in concept, but I have yet to see anyone complete the fifth belt. You are the Ninja Warrior, and as the game progresses you jump pits, smash boulders with your bare feet and generally do lots of ninja-type things to gain belts. The game can be played by many people at the same time, and I find it very good fun.

I invited a group of idiots who presume that they're my friends but won't be paid for helping me with this review, and we played it solidly for a couple of hours. The verdict? I was the only one who liked it. I believe their words were "Dash this, it's rather blooming boring", but I may have misquoted them slightly.

Still, I like it, and Computape are plugging it like crazy and selling it rather cheap, so I'd say it's well worth while getting your hands on one.
