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.
-
85An exciting, fun and challenging action game that shouldn't be missed.
-
85A surprisingly excellent GBA game with plenty of lengthy levels and ninja action that will bring to mind those great classic platform games of the old days.
-
There's only a few things that keep Ninja Five-O from being a perfect game: one save file, tiny graphics, and most importantly, the lack of a connection to "Hawaii Five-O."
-
Accurate control and savvy level design. [July 2003, p.122]
-
80While this game not necessarily the most difficult game in the GBA library, it's still packed with solid and challenging gameplay.
-
The control is very tight, and the moves are plentiful. [May 2003, p.140]
-
80Flying around using your grappling hook is dynamite fun, but the actual fighting can be anticlimactic due to the limited number of weapons in your arsenal.
-
80Some games stand out from a genre solely because of a single game mechanic, and Ninja Five-O is one of them. [Fall 2003, p.50]
-
80Though at times it comes across as a goofy amalgamation of NES titles, Ninja Five-O presents a highly playable and entertaining challenge.
-
Konami's new original side-scrolling masterpiece. [June 2003, p.58]
-
It's not just rehash, Ninja-Five-O does have some originality even though it borrows heavily from a variety of platformers. But you can't go wrong when you borrow all the best elements of classic games.

79The saying "They don't make 'em like they used to" is totally applicable to video games, and Ninja Five-0 is a great throwback to how they used to make 'em.
-
75What pleasantly surprised me about Hudson Soft's effort is its sense of difficulty. It doesn't wimp out on making the player work through a stage several times before picking up on the timing of the jumps, what order to kill the enemies and the like.
-
70This game managed to hit my nostalgia nerve, especially because I had a quick action itch, and this game was right there to scratch it.

DuckLord4049Too short other than that, it's the best side-scrolling ninja game ever.
