Ninja Quest

Ahh, Ninja Quest; the ambitious title about a ninja....on a quest,yeah. In Ninja Quest you first select your ninja out of a total of 6, whom doesn't seem to be any different from the others, aside from clothes, name, age, and so on. The game opens with a somewhat cool, somewhat corny intro that makes no sense apart from saving some no name princess from "the bad clan". You, being the nice and brave gentleman that you are have to go and do just that. With a nice selection of swords and projectiles on your side, you can't lose. Your introduced with a new sword at almost every level and as you slay your foes, there nice enough to give you there shurikens. These projectiles make the game easy, since they nearly take up a third of your opponents' health, making them a must have in your little ninja's arsenal. While the game tries to keep things a little lively by giving you more devastating weapons, the gameplay dies after the first 5 to 10 minutes or so.

Enemies are nothing but the left over characters from the rest of the 5 initial selections at the beginning of the game. The only difficult times are when your being ambushed by 5 or 6 of the same guys and you lack room to defend yourself, or when your trying to make a jump but fall a little short. Which brings up another issue, the respawn points after a death needed a little tweaking, as it will do nothing but drop you in the same exact place you died from, this makes getting jumps another shot a little annoying. You may find you get to the end of a level and you can't progress. Maybe because you have to defeat all of the enemies before you can move on, makes sense huh? To bad the game fails to tell you this small but useful information. But, all in all, aside from NQ's boring ending (save princess, tittle screen) Ninja Quest is a decent game if your to bored to care if what your doing is fun.
Overall

Action slasher with a paper thin plot, boring but fun in spurts gameplay with a horrible ending. Nothing spectacular but don't take my word for it, click the link and try it yourself. PEACE
