Nintendojo: Mini Ninjas DS Review

Overall, there is a good deal to like about Mini Ninjas. It's clever, deep, and offers a nice blend of adventuring and a bit of RPG-ing. At the same time, its relative brevity, minor control haggles, and overly-forgiving death penalty hold it back from being a truly great title; this is the sort of title that will probably fade into obscurity among DS's many titles. Regardless, this is still a solid title and a worthy purchase, especially for those who enjoy a classic ninja story.
