Review of Mini Ninjas

I had heard a few things about this game and thought I would give it a try.I wasn't really expecting much but was definitely surprised.This game is really fun and highly addictive.The title tells you who you control, mini ninjas.Don't get me wrong though, the characters are still really cool.But they can also be rather cute at times.Thats what really helped me fall in love with this game.The art style, colors used, and the whole concept of character design gives you a game that is very refreshing.What I mean is that so many games these days are dark and gritty with copius amounts of blood and gore, where as this game is usually bright and vibrant and has cut out blood and gore.Even the levels that are supposed to be darker tend to be beautifal in there own way.When you beat enemies in this game theres no blood, theres this poof of smoke and the enemy is transformed back into what they once were, cute little animals.All enemies except bosses were once cute little animals that have been transformed into bad guys.But it gets better, your main character has the ability to take control of these animals which is fun but also important if you want to get all the items in every level.The items are highly visible to animals and can be really hard to find for the ninjas.All items you collect are either used to make items or are consumed to restore health or energy or some other stat.Experience is gained from defeating enemies and freeing captured animals.Meaning that if you want you don't have to fight.You can try to sneak through the levels and free the critters to get your XP.Each ninja is unique in the way they look, act, move, and fight so getting a new character can change the way you play.So if you want to use the character with the big hammer go ahead, or maybe the one with the flute is more your style, but the best part is that they all use the same controls so there is no confusion when you switch between characters.There are quite a few different levels with different features so it doesn't get old.But that probably won't be a problem because the game is rather short.The gameplay is really fun but there is only a very basic plot that tells you why your fighting.I prefer games with a story and character interaction and there is none of that in this game.Overall the game is a fun family friendly game that can be enjoyed by just about any one.
