Ninja Reflex Reviews
TrustedReviews reviews the Ninja Reflex and writes;
“The good news is that the sub-games are surprisingly well designed, and make good use of the Wii remote. To throw shuriken, for example, you use the remote to aim a pointer at the onscreen targets, then press B to lock on and flick your wrist to throw the deadly ninja star. With the Koi catching, meanwhile, simply follow the fish with your onscreen hand, then grab them as they surface with a simultaneous pinch of the A and B buttons. ”

“The single-player progression works well enough, increasing the amount of games and difficulty level while you pick up ranking belts (all the way up to the black belt), but it’s not an especially long voyage — most players will master their reflexes within a few hours. ”

GamesRadar reviews the Ninja Reflex and writes;
“Like any good party game, Ninja Reflex is instantly accessible. If you can wave the controller and push a button, you can handle anything these minigames throw at you. The tongue-in-cheek presentation is totally charming too: from the tranquil 3D environments and the sensei that spouts hokey eastern wisdom, to the clangs and shouts that erupt from the controller’s speaker as you frantically wave it around.”
