    Swipe your finger across the screen to deliciously slash and splatter fruit like a true ninja warrior. Be careful of bombs – they are explosive to touch and will put a swift end to your juicy adventure!

    Fruit Ninja also uses OpenFeint, so players can unlock achievements and shoot for the top of the global leaderboards while racking up OpenFeint points.

    Your success will also please the wise ninja Sensei, who will accompany your journey with wise words and fun fruit facts.

    Fruit Ninja is the messiest and most satisfying fruit game ever!

    Fruit Ninja is fun, fun, fun. It's an instant pleasure and one you can find yourself hooked to, determined to post the highest fruit-murdering scores on OpenFeint or Facebook.

    It's cheap, it's undemanding, and it's perfectly suited to the platform it's on.

    Perhaps the best part is that this game isn't even complete. A whole new game mode is expected to be released sometime in the near future, so you're in fact investing in the game, which already costs practically nothing.

    Simple,fun and addictive. A game that can be played very quickly and a match takes about 1-5 mins. With all unlockable stuff and scoreboard it becomes very addictive game. Recommended for all ages. Expand

  3. An excellent game that kids and even adults will love. It's a simple game that does get challenging as you go along. You might even get addicted to this game after playing for a long period of time. My score: 82/100 Expand
  4. "Fruit Ninja" is very fun and enjoyable....for a brief period of time; it gets too repetitive like "Angry Birds".
