    Mini Ninjas is just purely, simply a great video game. Period.

    Mini Ninjas is for the little gamers. The game has a lot of great humor and a very interesting visual style. But the missing cooperative option is a great miss.

    Mini Ninjas is a rare gem amongst the mediocrity of E-rated rubbish. It probably won't win any awards for its gameplay, but you'll be having so much fun that you won't notice you are only pressing a few buttons.

    With Mini Ninjas you’ll get an entertaining and entertaining action adventure. I can recommend it to children and adults who are looking for a nonviolent game.

    Mini Ninjas is an extremely charming action/adventure game that should appeal to gamers of all ages and styles. The simple infectious antics of these ninja will appeal to the younger player, while the wide variety of ways to approach combat and stealth should entertain the more seasoned player.

    IO Interactive deserves credit for going in such a different direction from their usual shooter fare. Alas, the result is a beautiful game without a soul. Like a piece of gum, everything great about Mini Ninjas can be experienced in the first few minutes. After that, its sweetness is just a quickly fading memory.

    I'm rating this game absed on having played the Demo on the PSN and then having purchased the game the next day and having put in about I'm rating this game absed on having played the Demo on the PSN and then having purchased the game the next day and having put in about 4 hours of gameplay tonight. I love it. If you're into action-adventure, RPG, platforming, and/or stealth I'd be very surprised if you don't like this game. If I were to use other games to describe this one, it'd be a beautiful, huge, awesome version of the better Ratchet and Clank titles of the previous generation. I don't know about it's length, but I know I'm not far into it just because there's so much to explore that I haven't been moving at an incredibly fast pace and that says a lot in and of itself, because the reason for that is that I'm so impressed I don't want to miss anything. There have been numerous times I've found myself just panning the camera to take in the majestic views afforded by the game and welld esigned levels coupled with a well realised and striking graphics scheme. I'm going to get back to it, I just wanted to post something that may or may not be of use because Iw asn't sure if I was going to hate myself for spending the money before I got it and there wasn't a lot of valuable review data out when I made the purchase.… Expand

Think of it as Tenchu meets Samurai Jack. All the fighting, story, and stealth of Tenchu without the blood or gore. The story is fun and the game play on PS3 is very intuitive. Graphic style and music really give the game atmosphere. Hands down the best PS3 game I've bought in months.… Expand

    This game was my childhood and I refuse to give it anything under a ten. It's extremely underrated and is one of my favorite games to date.

The mixture of adventure, fighting, rpg in some great surroundings makes Mini Ninjas, this years big suprise.… Expand

I loved the experience start to finish withWhat Mini Ninjas did for me was create a memorable gaming experience that not a lot of games have. I loved the experience start to finish with all its twist and turns. Being able to gain magic powers at your own pace and slicing through evil samurai is extremely enjoyable, especially due to the great story that fuels your reason to, and something that deserves a sequel. But I could see how this game would not appeal to a mass market. Also, hasn't Dishonored stolen some of the stealth mechanics? Turn into animals anyone?… Expand

    I enjoyed the demo and thought this might initally be a PSN Store '£15' game ... but it turned out it was a full price title I enjoyed the demo and thought this might initally be a PSN Store '£15' game ... but it turned out it was a full price title at £40 - which I have to say, is just too much money. However, I picked it up for £13 in the Game Sale and really am enjoying it. I'm 37 and just enjoy the less hectic pace of it compared to other AAA titles - I need a break from MW2 ! Kids will love it - it's not 'tough' or too challenging. It's bright, fun, colourful and simple to play, but not moronic. At a reduced price, this is a great game - but probably not worth the full asking price - pick it up for around £15 and you'll be rewarded with a cute old-skool game that will relax and entertain.… Expand

Saludos y que lo paséis genial con este juego ^^… Expand
