69The acrobatics are solid, but the blood spilling seems a little much for a stealthy warrior. Red Ninja could have been much more than it is, and what it is is an average tale.

7 / 7 / 6 / 7 - 27 [Vol 847]
-
The later stages of intricate wirework platforming will undoubtedly cause many undue stress, and Kurenei herself can be a challenge to control given her default dash and a hard-to-wrangle camera. [March 2005, p.59]
-
54From its barely existent storyline, to its laborious and periodically broken platforming mechanics, to its sadly underdeveloped combat, Red Ninja just never manages to pull itself from action game mediocrity.
-
50It's like a melted snowman -- something that could've been good, but instead turned out to be a goopy pile of mush.
-
Even the most dedicated player’s are likely to fall out of love with the game more frequently than its promise of unstoppable motion and a world outside slate-grey corridors (which becomes more distant as the game progresses) can entice them back. [May 2005, p.83]
-
50Sure, there's oodles of feudal female flesh on display and a competent command system, but too many areas of the game fall flat on their face for it to be anything other than a tragic waste of time.
-
50Most gamers will be put off by erratic controls and wild camera. Too bad; this could have been great. [Apr 2005, p.73]
-
It's a very basic portrayal of the ninja lifestyle, and as such, there's nothing that will really keep your interest, particularly considering the poor camera and spotty controls.
-
If the nausea-inducing camera doesn't kill your patience, the wacky wall-running and platform-leaping sections will. [May 2005, p.125]
-
40A comedy of errors, but without the humor. From the camera to the movement to the over-powered tetsugen to the uninspired nature of pretty much everything this game disappoints in so many different ways.
-
Ultimately the game fails at almost every attempt including faulty gameplay mechanics, poor camera angles and a really boring story.
-
40Yet the biggest sticking point is the camera, which has trouble remaining steady in tight spots or in close encounters, making many sequences needlessly frustrating.
-
A miserable piece of digital vomit. [Apr 2005, p.120]
-
At $50, this game is a total joke.
-
30A poor Tenchu wannabe that simply fails to deliver enjoyment. We played it because we had to - you don’t. [May 2005, p.96]
-
30There is only one game where I've ever skipped areas I wanted to explore due to not wanting to deal with the camera. This is it.
