That's too bad ... I like the Power Rangers theme song. Also unfortunate a ninja party game didn't turn out well. Sounds cool.
BaD Wii Review #11: Ninja Reflex

I can't do it. I can't even make puns in my titles anymore. These games are so bad, and we aren't even halfway there. Anyways if you ever wanted the reflexes of a Ninja...this game will not provide you the skills necessary. I think becoming an actual ninja is easier than this game. Anyways here goes... Ninja Reflex.
Ninja Reflex is a terrible party game, capitalizing on the popularity of games that take advantage of the unique Nintendo Wii Remote motions seen in other titles . It's no surprise really. The Wii had tons of shovelware party games. This is an example. And it was co-published by the satan of developers EA.
So here lies the big problem with this mini game/party game. There are only 6...yes 6 mini games. And they don't even get them right! I shouldn't be this bored or hate 6 games this much, but that's what it boils down to.You have shuriken throwing, catching fireflies on a lake, catching flies with chopsticks, catching fish in a pond, katana sword fights, and swatting vegetables. So here's a breakdown.
Katana: Requires you to move your Wii-mote left and right in a way that isn’t easily detectable, leading to constant failure. You'll usually face an oni and have to beat it within a certain time limit.
Shuriken: Lock onto pop-up enemies and flick the Remote to throw Shuriken to take them down isn't much fun and makes little use of the Wii Remote
Fireflies: Press a button when you see a firefly appear on screen - not exactly a high-concept game...not very fun either.
Flies: See above, except you put files in jars. Uses the wii remote a tad bit more though.
Fish: I'll be honest here. After seeing the objective of catch 5 fish in 30 seconds upgraded to catch 6 fish in 30 seconds...I lost that part of myself that prevents me from killing myself in the face.
Swatting vegetables: Use the nunchuk and swat away veggies. Liike fruit ninja only healthier and not as fun.
So there you have it. 6 bad mini games you repeat over and over and over again. Oh and you don't get any rewarding satisfaction. See once you earn your black belt or whatever by mastering the 6 most tedious games on the planet...you can subject yourself to the same torture and go for it again as the game restarts your progress! You might unlock some stuff and have the knowledge you didn't, but it has you repeat these games over and over and over.
And it shouldn't be this bad or this boring. Some cheeesy philosophical lines from your sensei that break up the tedium are about the only highlight of this game so I impart some Confucius style review analysis.
Confucius say: Man who play shitty game gets brain aneurism.
Alright so what's next on the agenda?
NO! NO POWER RANGERS!
