GamingTrend: "From my experience, Pirates vs. Ninjas is made for the couch. If you have a bunch of people over and want to get into a pick-up-and-play that touches on your nostalgia for dodgeball, Pirates vs. Ninjas might fit the bill. Since you're likely to not take the game too seriously, and there may be alcohol involved, all of the problems with the game move to the back seat. Sadly, that is an ideal circumstance and since the gameplay is so repetitive, even then it is a short-lived prospect."
