Description
I-Ninja™ is an adrenaline-charged combat action-adventure game featuring rich and expansive environments that are uniquely designed to challenge the games’ protagonist, Ninja, and his special abilities. The game is set in The World, a small, earth-like planet somewhere in the realms of legend that is cohabitated by diverse inhabitants including Ninja Guardians, and Ninja’s Master whom he calls only “Sensei.” The World’s islands have been invaded by Master O-Dor’s evil army of robotic Ranx and all of the cohabitants have been imprisoned except for Ninja. Sensei must rely on his highly arrogant, yet consummate warrior-student to recover the four lost Rage Stones - relics of an ancient, evil power that corrupts anyone who possesses them. Follow Ninja on his journey from island to island as he fights fearsome enemies; overcomes enormous obstacles and mini-bosses to gain new Ninja Belts, recover the Rage Stones, and ultimately face his nemesis on the Moon. In true gravity-defying game play, Ninja can run on walls, "shred" on extreme rails, hover great distances with a "sword copter" spin, throw shurikens, blow darts, and utilize specialized manga-style ninja moves to navigate through each dynamic environment.

I-Ninja is a terrific treat for the eyes, but the gameplay is a little simplistic

Namco’s new ninja game should provide a fun addicting time by combining ninja action with extreme sports.
