    I think this game is entertaining and original. Cubic Ninja makes good use of the 3D and is very fun. It actually acts like you have a living thing in the box. Simple gameplay mechanics that you can pick up and play make it a great game for casual gamers.

    It's quirky and new, but in many ways it's quirkiness is it's downfall. It's a fun little game, but whilst the game has obviously been attempted to be designed for the 3DS, unfortunately it simply dosen't work.

Despite all the bad points, the general feel of the game is nice, the concept has a fairly new twist, and there's a few things that will make you smile in this game. Of course, there are many things that will make you frown, like the agonisingly long loading time, but despite all it's flaws, for some reason I don't regret the purchase at all.… Expand

    Good, short game, where it falls is its controls and how quick it gets boring. good for a time waster, not an actual game to invest a great amount of time in.

    This is a fun(ny), quirky and enjoyable game, but isn't really much more than that. The gyro controls aren't really that good but some of the levels are cool, with plenty of references to other stuff as well. I have to give the developers marks for effort but this game has too many flaws to be truly great.

    If you wan't to mod the 3DS this is a must. But it's expensive. And the actual game is another one of the worst Ubisoft games ever made. ​​ ​​

    This game isn't very original. It feels more like a smartphone game than anything. The controls and characters save this game from being completely bad though.

    Nice characters, though. [Aug 2011, p.69]

    It is a creative 3DS game. You control the tiny ninja by using the gyrosensor in the 3DS. That is pretty creative, but a iPad or iPhone has also a gyrosensor, so why has Cubic Ninja been published on the 3DS? There is no real use of the buttons or the 3D effect.

    Cubic Ninja could have been a nice platform, but the control system lacks precision and level design is too straightforward.
