NINJA TRAIN Hot

This is 80 points. Is it worth it? Well... It's really really short. The game lasts about three minutes and you simply have to collect as many coins as possible. You're a ninja running alongside a train, and the action is viewed from inside the train so some of the screen is obscured, it's quite interesting. The train travels very quickly and it's up to you to jump across rooftops collecting coins, and going for high scores. With the train going so fast there's not much time to react and so you'll miss a lot of coins, do better next time!

Being such a short game means you can experience everything in the trial, so it's definitely worth doing that. Might be nice to have a high score competition if enough people get it, it's certainly not easy to collect much and it's quite tempting to plan for a perfect run...

Worth trialling, this one.

Ninja Train has an interesting visual and audio style. Very old school. The concept is that someone is watching a ninja from a train window. This is a forced scrolling platformer. There are only 3 levels in all, and menu is minimal (limited to "Push any Button to start", no options, no exit (have to use the Guide Button or let the 8 minute trial expire).

The point is to collect coins that look almost exactly like Super Mario Bros. coins to increase your score. That's not the only SMB item borrowed in Ninja Train. There is also a cape/parachute like pick-up that lets you fly temporarily.

The view is greatly hampered by the train overlay. Could have been interesting. This is a pass, no thanks.
