Family Friendliness: Cubic Ninja is a fun experience to be sure, and something that provides a different type of game than your standard “stare at the screen” and move around game.  Moving your 3DS all around can be frustrating and difficult at times though, but seems like a good choice for families looking to add a little variety to their 3DS collection.

Highlights:
- Unique control scheme will have families moving their 3DS all around as they and safely get their Cubic Ninja through levels.

Lowlights:
- It just seems weird to have a 3DS game that doesn’t use 3D.  But consider this a good example of some of the other features of the system.

- There is so much moving and tilting necessary, that you’ll often find yourself losing view of the screen.

Game Details:

Cubic Ninja places you in the role of CC, a brave little ninja with a distinctly cubic shape. You must tilt and turn your way through more than 100 eye-opening levels, defeating adversaries such as Woofbot, Scorchbot and more. From raging infernos to elemental forces of wind and water, your enemies will do whatever it takes to stop you.

This 3DS game has you twisting, tilting and moving around your 3DS to help your Cubic Ninja navigate their way through the level.

The goal of Cubic Ninja is to get a black square (your Cubic Ninja) through a level while avoiding obstacles and maneuvering through 3D space.  Instead of using the d-pad, joystick or even button controls, you physically need to move the 3DS in all directions, as if the Cubic Ninja was really moving inside your system.

Because you have to move around, you have to turn the 3DS upside down, forward and backward to make it through each level.  This can lead to some crazy contortions.

Cubic Ninja is a fun experience to be sure, and something that provides a different type of game than your standard “stare at the screen” and move around game.  Moving your 3DS all around can be frustrating and difficult at times though, but seems like a good choice for families looking to add a little variety to their 3DS collection.
