These four felines may look like ordinary animals, but whenever there is trouble, they are Ninja Captains! These are not my words. They are in fact the first few lines you will read upon opening the instruction booklet for this latest party game on the Wii. If you're not a gamer who takes the time to have a leaf through the manual before delving into your most recent purchase, even just for a quick whiff of that 'New Game Smell', fear not. The entire story is already present on the back of the relatively text-heavy Ninja Captains box."
Perhaps the piece de resistance would be the music. There's very little variety and each tune, including the oft-used main theme, is literally a 3 second loop repeated over and over.
The zany antics of the cats may be enough to entertain very young gamers for a short time, but even at a budget price Ninja Captains is not one Wii's World could recommend.

The plot of Ninja Captains is an incoherent mess, featuring ninja cats (yes, you read that correctly) who find themselves shunted across the planet just as their city is attacked by a giant robotic mouse (once again, yes, you read that bit correctly).
Needless to say these feline ninja have to get back to their city and stop the giant robot mouse."
Very young kids may find the Ninja cats with their silly faces entertainment enough but if you found yourself blind-folded and standing in front of a pile of mini-game titles if you reached in and pulled one out it would probably be better than Ninja Captains. Team Teabag can't even call this a rushed job as there doesn't appear to have been any point to this other than an attempt to cash in on the recent inexplicable success of similar titles. Avoid.
