An average game that may be backed by superior bonus modes and challenges, but which at heart offers nothing new and, taken at face value, fails to deliver a truly thrilling experience.
-
If incredibly sore hands and a serious feeling of relief after busting caps in countless Shogun hoodlums constitutes a solid console light-gun shooter, then Ninja Assault screams for your attention.
-
Cheat Code CentralIf you were waiting for an intense and long light-gun title, then this one will not disappoint you.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyAn above-average shooting title that feels a lot like Sega's "The House of the Dead" games. [Sept 2002, p.150]
-
The downside to the lock-on feature is -- yep, you guessed it -- it makes the game easier. A LOT easier. Without it, it would have been too hard, and not nearly as fun, but with it, you'll exit the game almost as fast as you came.
-
The voice work in this game is awful and unprofessional.

Game InformerGun games are just going to keep getting these crappy scores until they show us something new, and it sure doesn't have anything to do with ninja. [Feb 2003, p.98]
-
GMR MagazineAs fun to run through once as any of them. [May 2004, p.95]
-
PSM MagazineThere's little depth here even for a gun game. [Oct 2002, p.40]
-
Delivers on the throwback headstrong-ninja motif, but its graphics are lacking, the level of challenge isn’t up to snuff, and the whole experience is over way too quickly.
-
It’s mared in lackluster gameplay and shoddy technical aspects.
-
There isn't enough of the good stuff to keep you interested for long.
-
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineIt's a run-of-the-mill game that's fun for playing in spurts just to shoot stuff, but that's about it. [Oct 2002, p.150]
