    Once the game has been completed, more Ninja Five-O fun can be had with an unlockable difficulty setting (making the game more tough to complete) and an optional Time Trial model.

    An insanely hard game. Beating the game will require intimate knowledge of the levels and a mastery of the controls. The title is a breath of fresh air in today's environment of games that can be easily polished off.

    Better than Shinobi, better than Ninja Gaiden, simply THE BEST ninja platformer ever. Time trial mode is the dogs danglies, the temptation to go back and beat your best time on your favourite levels is impossible to resist.… Expand

    I play my GBA more then any system I have or ever had and I remember waiting on line back in the day when the "new" NES came out lol! All I have to say is that this game has the elements of all the classic ninja games that existed for the NES and SNES... If you loved the original ninja gaidens and the shinobis then you should not loeave this game out from your collection. worth every penny !! Viva La 2-D !! … Expand

    It's a great, challenging game. Joe (your character) has quite a few moves at his disposal, for a side-scroller. The levels are hard and interesting, and the bosses pose a bit of a challenge as well. The one thing that really sells this game is that Joe acts exactly as we expect a ninja should: secretive, deadly, and ultra cool. As Duck Lord mentioned, the game does suffer from a short length. The difficulty should keep you busy for a little while, though. Oh, and be prepared to fight a lot of ninjas.… Expand
