Posted January 19, 2009 What are those screenies from? Looks fun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2009 Woo no PS2 version. Now the graphics might be more similar to the 360 and PS3 versions. I like the graphical style so far, especially the first screenshot so I don't it to be 6 months down the line those where PS3 screens and the Wii ones look terrible.

Posted January 19, 2009 NOT ANOTHER NINJA GAME! this nerdy obession with ninjas is fucking annoying.. YES we get it ninjas are cooler than pirates but shut up! I used to think they were cool but now are far far too many of them. ugh sorry rant over anyway looks ok besides that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2009 Minjas! I really thought that, then said it in my head and realised it's probably a bit dodgy. Any much more info about the game? Gameplay, brief plot outline or anythings? The pictures certainly do look kinda pretty, as already stated in quite a wind wakery way, quite intriguiging....could this actually be some fresh blood for my wii? What's the word on wii specific features, if anything? EDIT:Scratch all that, only just noticed how recently it was announced, it'll be some time til detail appears then!

Posted January 20, 2009 Looks great. I'm predicting this is going to be: Fun Short Linear Beautiful By the looks of those screenshots. So It should be a pretty good game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2009 Is this game any good because game sent me this postcard thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2009 I played the demo on the PS3. Actually had fun with it even though its clearly aimed at a younger audience. Worst fishing mechanic ever though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2009 been playin this today. lovely graphical style (blue solid coloured water sucks though!) it's pretty good. Not too far in but it's got oodles of charm and feels like I'm actually playing something that evokes great memories of Kung Fu Panda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 13, 2009 Is the Wii version completely different to the 360 version? In the 360 demo the graphics were bland, there was no character, no substance to the fighting and the graphics would insult the PS2. I couldn't even bring myself to finish the demo it was so bad (the G-force demo was just about bearable). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 13, 2009 The Wii version is the lead version of the game and so it's been getting slightly higher scores in reviews. Have to say, I didn't like the 360 version much after playing it at an event. I'm sure, though, that I'll be sent a copy of this at some point though but it's not high on my to play list.

Posted September 15, 2009 I gave up on the demo aswell, the videos made it look quite enjoyable but I couldnt get into it. I'm hearing mixed opinions on this one. On the one hand the critics and retail seem to be loving it and then you hear from the people that have played the demo and their impressions are not too good. To be honest, when I first heard about this game and that it had Ninja in the title I thought it was another load of shovelware, like Ninja Breadman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
