User Rating: 8.5 | Mini Ninjas WII
The new story about animals being converted into warriors was good. The game has a very cute aspect to it, in this age where all games are only hardcore violence, gore, blood and killing, this game has a certain aspect which makes you feel good. Fishing for food, collecting from trees and bushed for health is nice.

Boss fights are also good, just plain fun!!!

The graphics are classic Nintendo series, somethings are 3D while some texture is completely 2D, the 2D stills makes the game look nice and the texture also looks nice on it, since it's fixed, so it adds to the beauty of the environment.
Based on the graphic rendering capability of WII , this is the best WII offers( amongst others)

Music isn't out of this world, since it has nothing a lot of to do with music.

Since the number of playable characters are many(5), you have access to many kind of fighting styles, spear, swords, hammer, arrow or claw.
Although moves are pretty limited to all of them, but it keeps the fighting fresh when you make constant switches in and during the fight.

The game may or may not be lengthy. Not all people want a life life map to explore and constantly doing things for 2~3 months( hey, GTA was good till San Andreas, but then it just got plain old boring, nothing new to do, keep moving throughout the city, do useless stuff, it's good if you have that time, but some people have other things to do than to live the game!
If you want you can roam around and complete all the small tasks like collecting stuff, breaking the cages, or lie me, move fast and complete the game in 1 day!

Another good thing was that there is no loads of online content, not all games are meant to be played online, MAG yes, tekken yes, Batman NO, god of war NO, MGS NO, these games have more to do with stories instead of killing another same faced character in a small in story map!

The bad is, that the game has some glitches, specially towards the end where you have to escape from the avalanche, lot of graphic problem, inability to distinguish from the "path" and the "snow".
The fights are pretty much repetitive, lack of different species of foes.
3D has it's own problem since movement of camera is hard and depth calculation specially towards the end of game gets really tough.
I do not find WII's controls to be very nice for generic games. Changing the camera angle was very tedious, pointing the device to the Bluetooth receiver is annoying, as usual, but this is a WII specific problem.


One of the best on WII
