  1. Mini Ninjas on DS is an incredible disappointment. There are clearly some great ideas present in the game, and the story set-up is built upon a solid foundation. Once you push the start button on this machine, however, it breaks down and falls in on itself.

    Although it has a good stab at open-world platforming, this soon turns into a chore. [Nov 2009, p.58]

    Looks lovely but is just too frustrating and slow-paced to recommend. [Nov 2009, p.99]

    It's a cute game, but too many issues make Mini Ninjas less fun than it should be. [Nov 2009, p.81]
  5. Overall, there is a good deal to like about Mini Ninjas.
  6. The result is an uneven hodge-podge where the ninja concept isn't particularly fresh and where the good bits are undermined by the game’s undeniable issues in the areas of feedback, controls and targeting.
