 Are ninjas deceptive too? January 6, 2009
Suzie Shoop (New England, United States)
This game is alluring. The box is cute, the ninjas bake cookies, you are fighting to save ninjatown. I thought it looked like a lot of fun.
Then I started playing, and I thought to myself, is this it? You aren't really playing anything, just building huts and upgrading ninjas which doesn't even seem to change the course of the gameplay. It hardly feels like a game at all, more like watching a cartoon where the same thing happens over and over again.
 A little disturbing...but artistic January 1, 2009

Only because one of the characters is a piece of excrement.
The game is rather artistic. Not too much "fun" to play for me but very great to watch. Just not my type of game. I'm sure others will like this very much. It just doesnt seem to have much playability.

Great Tower Defense game its very cute on the surface, however, once you get into it, its loads of fun.
 Fun game, don't be turned off by the cuteness factor November 24, 2008

I did not know what to expect from Ninjatown when I purchased it, just knew it was a tower defense game. Turns out the game is very fun.
The art style of the game is cartoony and cute, which is actually what attracted me to it. I know some people may look at the game and think it's for children, but don't be turned off by by the cuteness factor, the game is actually challenging.
The first few maps are easy and introduce you to the mechanics of the game and from there it ramps up the difficulty. I haven't finished the game and already have some trouble beating some of the maps, having to repeat them a couple of times. The game keeps track of your re-tries and asks you after a while if you would like to go to Easy mode. That's a nice feature to keep people from getting frustrated and let's you move on with the game, but it will automatically give you a grade E on the map, so if you are the kind that wants to finish the game with A's on every map don't go for it. There is a good variety of Ninja types you can use and the modifier buildings give some flexibility to your strategy. Master Ninja powers are also a nice addition.
The short cut scenes to advance the story are full of humor and a pleasure to watch, giving the game a lot of personality. Controls are good, the DS stylus is a perfect fit for this game. And it's also a very nice game to play on the go since each map can be beaten in 10-15min or less.
The pre-order gift was also good: a Ninjatown skin for the DS Lite. And the game comes with a small sticker of one of the Ninjas or their enemies. This is not a deal maker or breaker, but it's a plus in world where a lot of games come without even a decent printed manual.
Fun little DS game November 17, 2008

Who doesn't love ninjas - Especially when they are decked out in footy pajamas? Ninjatown is a tower defense strategy game based on Shawnimals plush toys (if you don't know what they are, don't worry I didn't either before the game). Essentially the game involves you trying to defend Ninjatown from the invading Mr. Demon and his forces. You are asked to put up houses where various types of ninjas live each with their own unique abilities. In addition you can build huts that improve your ninjas' attributes (and sometimes other advantages).
The game is fun and addicting. The levels do get increasingly difficult and there are always new huts, ninjas, or enemies being introduced. Plus some of the cut scenes are truly funny. However, there are some minor drawbacks to the game. First, the game doesn't really "evolve" at all. You are essentially doing the same thing in stage 1 as you are in the last. Now don't get me wrong, what you are doing is fun (if you like tower defense types of games), but that's ALL there is here - no character development, no carryover weapons to the next level, no side quests or mini-games. Second, the story line isn't exactly deep. As some of the other reviews stated - young children can keep up with it. Again, not to say this is bad but if you want looking for a Final Fantasy deep story, I would look elsewhere.
Overall, I would definitely suggest buying Ninjatown. It's a perfect DS game for people of all ages.
