This game won't make you a "Ninja"

Unlike the title, you don't have to have the reflexes of a Ninja in order to get through this game. But what I wanted was some more games; this one's got too little content in it.
There are six mini games in this collection and some are fun: throwing ninja stars at targets and catching flies with chopsticks are quite enjoyable.
But others are boring: hit the A button when you see a firefly. Next.
While others can be frustrating: I had trouble swirling the nunchuck about and using the sword.
But the biggest problem is the game's too short for $40. I unlocked all games in 2-3 hours of game play, and have no desire to play most of those mini games again.
If you happen to see it in a bargain bin for $20, then it's a good deal. But at full price, I say pass.

I don't have a wii but i played this game and beat it it a couple minutes.Everything about this game is boring.The multiplayer is the most boring. There are only 9 events in multiplayer! Don't waste your money or your time.

Kinda fun at first, then quickly gets old

After earning my first five belts in about an hour and a half of play time, I just didn't want to continue this game. I found the controls finicky, and the sensei's droning quickly became annoying. Also the unlockables aren't that inspiring. If the game had some humor or a story it might have been redeemed. Sadly it doesn't.

Might be fun for a rainy afternoon's rental, but I doubt anyone would enjoy this for long enough to purchase it.

This game started off very easy, and I thought it was going to be pretty lame. But it has slowly and steadily gotten pretty hard. Some of the tests really do work on how quick your reflexes are! They can be pretty challenging, and pretty frustrating at the same time. I just wish there was more of a story behind it - I thought it was going to be more like training up to go into big battles, not just constant one on one with the teacher. But it has its fun moments. Some of the controls are a little hard to get used to though.

Good idea bad controls...

Ninja reflex is a good game but the reactions to your wii remote movements are delayed and that can cost you the game... also there isn't any point to the game other than playing the same 6 games over and over again to get your different belts... (and just so you know I rate the games after I have beaten them)well all in all the idea is good but the wii remote functions are way too slow which makes the game bad...

Really Bad

Boring

This game seems to consist of several mini-games. They are all supposed to be designed to sharpen your "reflexes." I can think of more fun ways to improve on hand eye coordination.

Basically the game gets repetitive very quickly.

Same 8 things over and over

There are just 8 types of activities to do in this game. the further you go, the more, harder versions of the same task you unlock.

If this Ninja comes to your house, run.

This game is sadly horrible. There is no meat to this game. There are 6 mini games and you must repeat the same 6 mini games in different ways. Dont rent this game, more than likely youll send it right back.

Good game ... way too short.

The use of controls were nice, and the concept commendable, but once you finish the mini-games to become a ninja, you feel like you need a real game to fight real people.

This is well worth the rent, but expect to return it in a day. If you don't want to waste a spot in your Q, I understand, but I've always wanted to use my Wii-mote for chopsticks and catch a fly!

Bought Ninja underware for nothing!

So me a Frisco were like, "Yo let's be fly ninjas and show Pat Moira what's up!" So we played the game and drank a fifth of Ecto Cooler. Some old dude is like "Yo all ninjas grab fish for fun." and I was like "Okay that's different." and then he was like "Most ninjas catch flies" and Frisco was like "Yo close your windows and you won't have this fly problem money!" In one hour we unlocked everything and I sez "Yo Frisco that went way to quick." and Frisco said, "Yeah and I got carprial tunnel syndrome!" So we deciede to rent Tramua Center and fix Friscos hand.
Bottom line: Fun for 5 minutes... over in 45 minutes

Ninja falls short, but I might Meditate on that.

There are only six mini games that you must beat on various levels. So in short you are playing the smae six mini games over and over. The wii remote is not that accurate either and can become frustrating. However, I did discover meditation, and I really liked that, but I do not see kids getting into it.

Not very good

A few of the mini games within this game are ok. The fly catching and the fish catching was fun for my 5 year old son. The sword fighting is horrible. The sensors are not very responsive to your actions. This is a very poorly made game and I do not recommend it.
