Ninja Reflex, which I own for Wii, is a shallow experience not worth the $40 asking price. It’s fun in very small doses and boasts slick presentation, but it should have never been sold for more than $20. Especially since you can now get a better looking PC download on Steam for a mere $8.95. Dumb. This should have been a $15 WiiWare game, EA. (Oh, and nice Gordon Freeman glasses, sensei.)

The Pittsburgh Tribune critiques the $30 mini-game in shallow but promising fashion.

For a title that’s essentially a collection of party games, developer Nunchuck Games obviously put an emphasis on quality graphics… Despite the supremely aggravating control glitches in Katana and sensei’s repetitive intros — Ninja Reflex offers a lot of kicks.

Game available March 4 on Wii, published by EA.
