CUBIC NINJA Company: Ubisoft Release: June 14, 2011 ESRB: E (Comic Mischief, Crude Humor) February 20, 2012 Who knew a game about tilting a ninja would be so freaking HARD! The goal sounds simple: Tilt (or use the joystick) to guide a cubic ninja to the goal. Avoiding spikes, getting squished by moving walls and other deadly things. There is no jumping. Your ninja floats through the deadly labyrinths. But at least half of my first playing time (about 20 minutes) was spent yelling and threatening to break the 3DS with a sledgehammer. The boss is a cube dog. You have to hit him with a mace that drops down from the ceiling. You have to hit the dog with the mace three times, but if you touch it once, you die? How fair is that? Luckily, there's apparently infinite lives. I must have died at least 50 times in the boss level and not once did it say "Game Over." So I guess if you like Mega Man and, well, wooden labyrinths, this is the game for you. Otherwise, if you hate challenging video games, do not get this one. rating: 6/10
