Ninjatown for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

Seriously, when I started playing this game I couldn't stop. It is by far the coolest and most addictive game I've ever played on the DS. If you like cute little ninjas and defending towns you have to check out this game.

Let me start off by saying I only write reviews for things I feel pretty strongly about. Since this game had no reviews yet and I absolutely love this game, I had to sit down and let people know. Also, I never give a 10 when rating something unless it's exceptional and I believe this game really is. The developer did a fantastic job on this game.

Yes, it's adorable and cute and it's NINJAS so how can you go wrong? Beyond that though, the pace is just right, challenge is not too easy but not too hard. I decided to "keep it" from GameFly after about 10% through, and now I am about 30% through and still loving every minute of this game. You start out with only a couple of ninja types and abilities, but every new level brings new items and things to use for your ninja battles. It's really fun.

You don't actually fight as the ninjas, but you set up what's called "ninja huts" and basically strategize what types of ninjas to use and where to place them for the waves of battles that come in to each territory. Like I said, the pace at which this happens is perfect and just plain fun. I also like that I can pickup the game and play through a level in about 5-15 minutes (the levels are getting progressively harder) but the game is so easy to pick up and play the experience is just great. Also, the writing is entertaining, cute and funny, in between the stages when the ninjas in the story mode converse. You don't have to sit through this for more than a minute or two and it's actually very well written and pretty funny sometimes. Also, if you want to re-do a stage to improve your grade, you can skip past the story part just by pressing start. Clearly the developer wants us to have a great time with this game with zero stress. Just fun.

Hardcore gamer or casual, if you like strategy and you like ninjas, you must get this game. I highly recommend it.
