It's an average game, nothing more. It gets a bit stale after a while after playing sadly.

This game is fun and who wouldn't want to be a pirate or a ninja... or a zombie... or a robot...

The single player in this game is basically playing as each team and beating the others in 2vs2, 3vs3, and 4vs4. Each character from each team has their own special power to use sparingly in game. You can catch, deflect or dodge each ball thrown at you and you in turn can throw and power throw your shots at your opponents. The gameplay is fast paced and you will eventually get the hang of it.

The multiplayer is just as fast paced and even more so now that your going up against real people. You can play with up to 8 players in a 4vs4 match. Go online find a match and show them whose boss.

For the achievement junkies, the single player achievements are pretty easy to get but the multiplayer achievements will take a little of your time.

This game was a great buy and it's still fun to play from time to time even after having it for a while.

 

Ok, so pirates+ninjas=awesomeness, right?

Sadly, that's wrong. I thought this would seem like a great game to play with friends, like the fun I'd have with Castle Crashers or Super Smash Brothers, but sadly, no, there's a lot of dissapointing things about this, even after the supposed "reworking" after it was reviewed by OXM.

I was hoping this would be something like Super Dodgeball on the SNES. But Pirates vs Ninjas has nothing to do with classic dodgeball at all. It is just chaotic button smashing.
Still waiting for a good dodgeball game...

I was hoping this game would be great fun, but it is not. With Pirates, Ninjas, Zombies, and Robots it should have been epic, but instead it is pretty mediocre.

 

Zombie VS Ninjas = Greatness

Wow. I mean come on it's pretty much the greatest thing to ever hit xbla. Now you can officially say that Zombies are better than Ninjas or vise verse. It's a fun and easy to pick up game that you should try out!
