CVG: Xbox World has a fine history of duffing up cut-'n'-paste Wii-centric platformers seemingly made to cash in on an endless stream of forgettable CGI animated movies, before being puked onto the 360 with the motion control element stripped out. And every one of them had it coming. But, with an original title like this, we must use stealth...
Yes, we all know it's Hitman 5 that we're waiting for from Io, but we're also in need of a damn good platformer on Xbox, and not only is Mini Ninjas refreshingly free from Happy Meal connotations, it's also packed to the gills with charm. Indeed, Io have created and absolutely captivating world which is a real pleasure to explore.

This game always reminded me of I-Ninja a platformer game that came out back in the PS2/OG Xbox days kinda wish that game got a remaster.
