    I will start by saying I am a mega fan of obstacle course style shows like The Ultimate Beastmaster and American Ninja Warrior. In this gameI will start by saying I am a mega fan of obstacle course style shows like The Ultimate Beastmaster and American Ninja Warrior. In this game the career mode had more depth than I expected and they achieved the perfect balance of being fun and challenge at the same time. I had quite a lot of excitement when I saw the game was arriving onto the Xbox One. I was definitely eager to play the 10 seasons and fail many times. The excitement is in the career mode and maxing out your character as much as possible in American Ninja Warrior Challenge style. Does it fully capture the true feel of the show, no... but did I have a blast with this game? Absolutely, and I will be back for more. When played with friends and family it is very fun to say the least. The solid career mode, the custom courses the 2 difficulty play styles, the array of challenges and thriving thru an entire career all made for great fun in the end. I must admit that I didn't expect this much fun from a game that could have easily been much much worse. The high price of the game is a bit much, but in the end I'd say I got the asking price out of it. I was truly disappointed in the lack of online multiplayer. In terms of the presentation everything is a little basic and it lacks atmosphere and hype in several areas which hurts the fun factor. In summary American Ninja Warrior Challenge is a games that’s perfect to play every now even after finishing its main meat and potatoes. I have likely played this game more than anyone as of yet as of this writing, as I am the only person in the world to have completed the hardest difficulty ranked run and posted a completion time for it. I highly recommend the game but you may want to wait for the 1st sale if you're not a mega fan like me. would love to see some DLC for this one as free add ons.… Full Review »

    The controls are awkward and dull, not only are we expected to feel excitement by simply pressing a single button when the game tells us to,The controls are awkward and dull, not only are we expected to feel excitement by simply pressing a single button when the game tells us to, but pressing B to make a character jump at the time the game tells you to, and instead watching that character flail and fall into the water over and over begins to take its toll on the human psyche. The character models are straight out of 2010, the fact that this game was made and released in 2019 in an embarrassment to how far video games of come. I'd expect this game to have come out in a bundle pack with the very first Xbox Kinect, but at least then the motion controls would give you some sense of control over your pixelated character. The character also doesn't move like a human being. There were times when I'd simply fall from lack of stamina and my character would fly backwards as if they'd been shot, when the laws of physics state that he would simply fall straight down into the water. The camera cuts to the announcers every once and a while, which wouldn't be an issue except their facial expressions rarely change, even when I'm struggling or just fell, and they are speaking as if they are upset for me, if the camera cuts to them they are seen grinning widely as if I just beat the game. Perhaps they have more than one facial expression and the game simply never deigned to show it to me. I know I had only one facial expression as a played, and that was a mixture of confusion, frustration, and boredom. I've seen better digitally rendered crowds in PS2 games. Their awkward, non-human limbs flew all over, their arms often went through each other, and the same character models could be seen multiple times at once on the screen. The fact that this game was released is a shame. It shows that the creators were simply instructed to make the cheapest cash grab possible. I just thank god that I borrowed a friends copy rather than shell out the exorbitant 40 dollars that could have been better spent anywhere else. If I had taken 40 dollars out of my wallet, set them on fire, and dropped them in a puddle that would have been a better use of my money, because at least it would have provided some semblance of entertainment, and it would have looked much nicer than the crap they smeared on my screen and called a video game.… Full Review »
