Ninja Reflex Wii and DS Hands-On!

If you think Ninja Reflex may help lead you to your dreams of being a ninja at some point, probably best you start to think again. I spent many hours with Ninja Reflex on both Wii and DS format and as far as game reviews go, this isn't that great.

Not to say it's completely dire, there are a couple of nice touches and it's clever the way it makes use of either format whilst keeping to the same game, but there just isn't that much of a game there. I got up to almost black belt within a couple of hours on each and found the games to be repetitive.

A nice addition to the title though was the guided meditation, which worked surprisingly well given the overall format. It won't do much for you if you're not into meditating, but still a nice touch.

If you were considering a purchase of Ninja Reflex on either console I'd hold back for awhile. Try it via rental first, chances are you'll finish it in a rental time frame anyway and you can keep your cash for something else.
