For the most part that summary and a quick look gets to the heart of the matter, the question is how silky smooth does it feel while you’re busy kicking ass and taking names? Unfortunately I’d call the controls a bit on the loose side. They’re really close, and most of the time you will have only yourself to blame, but some of the execution for things like precision wall jumping can feel inconsistent at times and that’s a bummer because it usually means you’ll die and have to start over. There are also going to be super-cheap and lame deaths like those from enemies that kill you even though you’re approaching from behind and other fun. None of it is a total killer but with the competition already on the console the comparisons really do matter. What it comes down to is that Save The Ninja Clan is a budget version of those bigger and more refined games you’ll tend to hear about. It’s not as polished, the characters aren’t as cute or cool, and the controls aren’t as spot-on tight. That said it is likely less than half the price of almost anything else in the category so it may not be a bad deal. If you like a challenge and have a few bucks to blow it’s at least entertaining in bursts.
