Right. Time for more indiscriminate violence. You play a ninja who, aggrieved at the world (and let's face it, aren't we all?) has taken to walking from left to right and killing the hordes of army personnel, dogs, police marksmen and civilians that get in his way.

Being not overly tall and muscular, I like games which give me an on-screen physical superiority. And Ninja Warriors is one of the best I've seen at a sensible price (i.e. as cheap as poss).

The sprites are big and colourful, and everything is as quick and smooth as a cup of cocoa at bedtime. It's also possible to get pretty far into it on the first attempt. Like I keep saying, if you're been frugal enough not to have bought any beat-'em-ups at the full price, it's time to raid the Swiss bank account for the money for this 'un.

The only thing is that, if you're an expert at games like this, it could be a tad easy. And there's nothing worse than wasting four huge pounds on something you finish in a day or two.

Action-packed, fun, exciting, fast and slick. That's what people say about me, but I think these words apply equally to Ninja Warriors too. Try convincing the International Monetary Fund to stump up the dosh.
