    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]

    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.

    Ninjabread Man couldn’t be a more of a generic platformer if it tried.

    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.

    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.

The graphics make it look like it's an N64 game, the controls are terrible(particularly the motion controls), the soundtrack is grating, and a piece of toast has more personality. I bought this game when I was seven at Gamestop, for FIVE DOLLARS, and to this day I still wish I could get that five dollars back. Even as a wide-eyed child, the controls frustrated me beyond belief. I will say that I actually enjoy the concept of a ninja/gingerbread man hybrid, but that's about the highlight of the game. And for that I give it a 2/10.… Expand

    True crap. Just bad. Impossible to finish the game without crying in frustration. Plus comes the worst camera in a video game. shoddyTrue crap. Just bad. Impossible to finish the game without crying in frustration. Plus comes the worst camera in a video game. shoddy graphics, and a bunch of creepy stuff like cupcakes melting, mouths on walls, and Grandma's teeth coming to life. I also didn't like the incredibly short length, bad controls and weapons, and bad dancing (Ninjabread dances in the Dough-Jo level when he gets a scroll.)Oh, and BTW, the game was made on the same platform as Anubis 2.

    COULDN'T THEY TRY A BIT HARDER!!!???    … Expand

    This game runs on the same engine as another terrible game, Anubis II. The controls and lameness are identical. AVOID!!!

The controls are broken, the graphics and sound suck, the mission structure is repetitive and the checkpoint system is simply broken. The game also has no voice acting, no interesting story, levels all play the same, weapons never work, killing enemies takes like a billion hits, there's only 3 levels(excluding the tutorial mission), and the game is filled with so many glitches, framerate issues, and a bad camera angle that it's basically unplayable.… Expand
