    This game is a deep and heart-filling masterpiece filled with mind-blowing plot twists and amazing set-pieces. I could sit here for hours - Nintendo have made the game of the centu- Wait, what? Ninjabread Man? Oops, wrong game.

    I am seven and thought this would be a great game. i am so sad I got it. It made me sad for a few days. It played really badly. The weapons didn't work and the controls didn't work, it was ugly. It's hard for a seven year old to get money for games. They should try harder to make better games for kids.

    This is a EXTREMELY crappy game because it is made by Data Design Interactive who made awful games. The level designs are horrendous, baffled me. The graphics are JUST GHASTLY and terrible. The gameplay is a wourthless piece of crap with salt water. The controls are COMEPLETELY awful. DO NOT RENT THIS GAME; it is crappy and awful, and MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT BUY IT AT ALL COSTS!!

    This game is terrible! Has to be one of the worst Wii games out there. The graphics are awful. The level designs are horrendous. The controls are very broken. The enemies are way too tough. Ninjabread Man is completely unplayable and please do not buy this game. It sucks.

Even as a wide-eyed child, the controls frustrated me beyond belief. I will say that I actually enjoy the concept of a ninja/gingerbread man hybrid, but that's about the highlight of the game. And for that I give it a 2/10.… Expand

    The way to make the character jump is by shaking the nuncheck - whichever game developer or producer thought this was a good idea should be fired and then hit in the face repeatedly with wii nunchucks. Also, the camera is beyond terrible. If I could rate this negative I would.

    Actually the only good thing about this game at all is the chuckle you get at the clever name, so um YES IT IS.

    Ninjabread Man for the Wii is quite simply a bad game. There are 3 levels in it (4 if you include the training mission). However, this isn't too bad if you can get the game for a cheap price.

The graphics look like they're from an average Nintendo 64 game, and the sword motion controls barely work. (although you can get through the game by using ninja stars) the enemies are cupcakes, jam sponges, wasps, and other sweet snacks. In each level, the objective is to collect electric rods (I don't know why that happens in a gingerbread and cake universe) so that you can activate a time machine for Ninjabread Man to escape to the next level. The game is about 2 hours long (with no additional modes) and has no storyline outside of being plunged into Candy Land to fight off enemy cakes. Ninjabread Man is a bad game that can be enjoyed, but only if you are in the mood for killing sugary food.… Expand

    I'm not going to dignify such a poor platformer with anything above zero points, the main character seems promising on paper, but is poorly implemented in a buggy, irritating and massively overpriced game, would be considered bad value for money even at 500 points on Wiiware

    This game is a pile of crap. Not only it's the worst Wii Game, it's also one of the Worst of All-Time. The graphics are awful. The gameplay is unforgiving crap. The controls are the worst. Ninjabread Man is the worst Wii Game ever and you need to avoid it at all costs because it sucks and it's a waste of your time and money. Buy Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 instead.

    This game and all the other Conspiracy Entertainment games make me actively angry. This is literally the same game as Anubis II, Trixie in Toyland AND Rock n Roll Adventures with a re-skin. LITERALLY THE SAME GAME and all 4 are being sold at the same time on both the Wii and the PS2. That is just plain despicable.

    The reason I bought this game originally was because of Namco's I-Ninja (PS2) of which I played as a kid and is underrated gem, in my opinion. Anyway much like most things on the Wii this was yet another letdown for my 11-13yr old self.

    The Good: The character design of Ninjabread Man himself looks kinda cool/cute and I could definitely see being a mascot for Data Design Interactive or gaming in general had the product/game been good.

    The Bad: The difficulty. I don't know if it's just because I was still a tween playing this game or if it was actually hard but I remember the enemies being relentless, a crappy jump, and one of gaming worst cameras. I want say much about the graphics since it's Wii shovel wear but just know there is nothing in this game that is creative.

    The Ugly: This game is a reskin of Anubis II (or vice-versa) like the exactly same layout and everything. They changed nothing from the two. Oh, and to make things worse two year later the game was reskined again as Rock N' Roll Adventures. I haven't played the other two but once you've played one of these then you've play them all.    … Expand

About the camera, it's very slow to control. Not to mention, it can zoom into the player so many times. Not to mention, sometimes after you land on a platform edge, you will be stuck and there will be an endless falling animation, and you cannot walk on them until you turn into the opposite direction. Hell, if you jump into some small holes, you will get stuck on them forever, and the only way to get out of them will be restarting the level. Also, in this port, to jump, you must swing the Nunchuck, which is one of the worst ways to jump in a video game. However, the game has an interesting protagonist design, and it can even fit on a TV show, or even comic series, and the cover is cool. These are the only good things about the game, the rest suck. Seriously, do not buy this game, and if you will see one copy, stay away from it and do not even bother buying it.… Expand

    No. This is the BOTTOM OF THE BARREL BAD. One of the worst video games ever released for the Wii. The only reason you would buy this is to see how bad a Wii game could possibly be. It's too short, too glitchly, too awful for ANYONE to play. The best part of the game is when you break the disk in half. Thank god, it's shorter than... well, any game really.

    This game is little more than a candy-themed tech demo. It has horrible combat mechanics, terrible level design, and don't get me started on the glitches. This game is one of the reasons the Wii was known for 3rd party shovelware.

    Very basic platform game with a promising lead character. Not actually awful but it's overpriced at 20 pounds and a little frustrating for younger players. [Christmas 2007, p.65]
