  • Summary: Produced by critically acclaimed TT Games and developed by Hellbent Games, LEGO Battles: Ninjago allows players to become a master of Spinjitzu, an art form in which characters spin and become tornadoes to defeat their enemies, as they restore harmony to the world. Players can choose to play both "good" and "evil" single-player campaigns, test their skills in a variety of Battle Mode challenges, or play with family and friends in exciting multiplayer showdowns.

    An impressive replay value meets repetitive sounds, a humorous plot fights against an unforgiving handling. LEGO Ninjago definitely isn't quite polished as it could be, but for tacticians, it is very suitable.

    Hellbent Games and TT Games have teamed up to provide one of the most solid real-time strategy experiences on the Nintendo DS in general.

    A rigid Lego step in the right direction. [May 2011, p.68]

    Despite a good concept and the important brand, LEGO Battles: Ninjago is a RTS excessively lacking depth and visual quality even for the the little kids the game is obviously aimed to.

    Not what I was expected from a Lego title, but enjoyed the surprise. I like the style, love the music, and appreciated the strategy of this game. Nice to see the Nintendo DS offering a game such as this. Expand
