What is it? Ninja Five-O has you play the role of Joe Osugi, a ninja cop (which is what the title is called in Europe). As a nimble and deadly ninja, you need to kill the bad guys and save hostages and eventually defeat bosses to bring peace to the city.
The Highs: As expected, a well-trained ninja would have many nifty moves and this one is no exception. You can climb walls and swing around with your grappling hook. You can throw shurikens, and when you gain power, fireballs and laser bolts. You can slide around, crawl and use your trusty sword to jump and slash your enemies. Being a ninja is just cool!
The Lows: The game can be pretty tough at times as you only have one life. The final stage is really a killer as you have to past various obstacles in a limited time. Gameplay can also get a little repetitive as you simply go around killing enemies, save the hostages, and collect keys which open doors to new areas and proceed to the next stage.
The Bottom Line: Nija Five-O is a throwback to classic games such as Bionic Commando and the many platformers that are available. But what makes this stands out is that it packs all the excitment of those games into a nifty and tight package. The tension and excitement generated plus the many moves that you can perform makes this a fun and enjoyable GBA title.
