1UP reviews Ninja Reflex

1UP fully expected EA to lay it on thick with the clichéd martial arts mumbo jumbo, but aside from oft-repeated comments from the sensei, the ninja theme is thankfully understated, and the clean visuals are more than adequate for the simplistic mechanics. Still, it's tough to overlook the question of value -- Wii Play may miss with some of its minigames, but it also comes with a Wii Remote; Ninja Reflex has no such hook and packs a similarly high price point. Despite such concerns, Ninja Reflex offers a pretty decent casual-play experience compared to similar titles on each platform. Just don't mistake it for a genuine black belt -- orange pleather seems like a better fit.
