This doesnt seem to have a preview thread on here, I couldnt find one with the search function anyway?

Mini ninjas

Made by IO interactive, its a cartoon ninja adventure game, but it has a more family oriented theme.

Anyway, there is a demo due on 20th August for the game

Should be interesting.

Can already see JPG playing this one, probably adding it to his lovefilm list as we speak

Video doesn't really show much(if any) gameplay, looks like one of those "get your 1000 GP here!" type games to me, will give the demo a look though.

What have IO interactive put out previously, anything?

Brilliant Hitman franchise and the quite decent Kane and Lynch franchise...

Hitman anyday over Kane & Lynch.

Did anyone find time to try this in between Lost Planet 2 and Shadow Complex ?

Yes I did.

It basically is a Zelda clone. You can play as one of 3 ninjas in the demo with realtime changing between them whenever you want. You have magic skills such as fireballs as well as items you can use like smoke bombs etc. It does have some nice touches, you can use spirit form to takeover any animals in the game (I have been a chicken, fox, rabbit, frog and warthog so far) and you can also use standard hack and slash attacks.

LT lets you sneak around through long grass and when you get near water, just click the right stick in to turn your rice bowl hat into a tiny canoe. You can also fish as well which is very basic and when you catch one it turns into sushi (health).

Overall the graphics are very nice and smooth, it looks and plays very much like Zelda: the wind waker on the gamecube. SO if you like that game you will like this

Sounds really cool. I was a BIG fan of anything Zelda back in the day so its enough to make me want to try it. Need to save my bytes tho as I am almost at my limit for the month. No demos for me
