    A great throwback, mixing several different game elements, to create perhaps one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played.
  2. Game Chronicles

    I-Ninja just oozes with a perfect blend of charm, humor, and visual quality that has been long overdue in a platform game. A definite must-own title.
  3. NintendoWorldReport

    It’s jam-packed with clever little touches, and only really disappoints in that it has to end.
  4. GameSpy
    75
    The longevity factor makes it a rental for even vaguely experienced players. On the other hand, as a young player's introduction to gaming, I-Ninja is nearly the perfect tool.
  5. GameSpot
    75
    A short but well-crafted third-person action game with a surprising variety of gameplay.
  6. 1UP
    70
    The controls hold up better than in most platformers, the levels are well-designed, and your character has a good repertoire of attacks. There's a lot of variety, too.
  7. GameCube Europe

    This game has a huge lifespan, as I eventually found it such a pain to play I couldn’t play for more than 15 minutes max a day.

    It's got a major flaw that is just absolutely annoying, they make you got back to the same levels that you already beat. They make you It's got a major flaw that is just absolutely annoying, they make you got back to the same levels that you already beat. They make you do this to make the game seem longer then it actually is. That wouldn't matter so much if the levels were actually fun. It starts off kind of sweet but then it just gets worse as it goes along.… Expand
