    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.

    I love what this game offers - classic 3D platforming with a supercool mini-ninja dude. The problem is, I-Ninja doesn't offer a whole heckuva lot of it. You can blast through the entire game in a few sessions. [Dec 2003, p.192]

    I would call I-Ninja a beginner action platformer, something excellent for a young niece or nephew. It is a really easy game, all things considered, even though there were a few times when I cursed the thing.

    Merely an average action platformer. There are some bright points, such as an abundance of moves, and some interesting levels, but this is overshadowed by bland presentation and disjoined gameplay.

    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.

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.… Full Review »

The game has a variety of many differet types of levels. You'll find yourself trying at one level over and over again and be so frustrated. This game was very fun while it lasted.
