  1. Very basic platform game with a promising lead character. Not actually awful but it's overpriced at 20 pounds and a little frustrating for younger players. [Christmas 2007, p.65]
  2. Of the worst games you could ever have the misfortune of playing.

    It’s buggy, oftentimes completely broken, somehow manages to have frame issues in tiny levels, and is completely ruthless if (and when) younger players die.
  4. Ninjabread Man lasted half an hour. HALF AN HOUR. Three levels down and I was booted straight back to the main menu without fanfare. I thought I'd pressed the Quit button by mistake... Half an hour and one hundred percent done.
  5. It has no redeeming aspect except that thankfully the pain is short-lived, but then again you should heed our warning and avoid this title at all costs.
  6. Ninjabread Man couldn’t be a more of a generic platformer if it tried.

  1. This game is a deep and heart-filling masterpiece filled with mind-blowing plot twists and amazing set-pieces. I could sit here for hours - Nintendo have made the game of the centu- Wait, what? Ninjabread Man? Oops, wrong game. Full Review »

    I am seven and thought this would be a great game. i am so sad I got it. It made me sad for a few days. It played really badly. The weapons didn't work and the controls didn't work, it was ugly. It's hard for a seven year old to get money for games. They should try harder to make better games for kids. Full Review »
  3. Anything need to be said? Okay. This game proves that Data Design Interactive are the equivalent to those jokes you get in emails that take half an hour to download and are never funny. Full Review »
