Review: Fruit Ninja

Ninjas don’t party often, but when they do cut loose they prefer to do so at the beach on a moonless summer night. This easy-playing game is perfect for just such an occasion. Fruit Ninja goes well with beach balls, barbecue, star gazing, and shuriken throwing – all of which I was doing last Saturday while playing this game.  Well, all except the shuriken throwing, I save that for Sundays. This game of fruit destruction is entertaining in a way that does not require complete attention.  You can play this game and still have a conversation, or contemplate the differences between a samurai sword and a ninjato.

I mostly got this game cause I like RPG's and I loved the cover art. Sadly, that art was nowhere to be seen in the actual game (which is fair for an 8 bit game). Luckily the dungeon crawler RPG aspect made up for it. I may be pushing it a bit giving it a 9/10 but it...

Perfect score if you get the version where Sid can put a hamster in the microwave. Almost perfect score if you play the censored version. Either way this game is incredible and we haven't seen it's like since it was made. The number of different endings and solutions...
