Lego Ninjago Nindroids

SCORE: 71

WB Games has been providing for kids over summer break the last couple of years with Lego video games targeted at them. Lego Ninjago Nindroids is no exception. Although here in the South, summer break is almost over with. Kid Gamer made this comment: "They finally release Lego Ninjago Nindroids, and I have to go back to school."

The name of Lego Ninjago Nindroids on the Nintendo 3DS and Playstation Vita should give you some clue as to what this hand held video game is about. There are Lego ninja characters. They perform Spinjitzu. They can turn themselves into tornadoes and go spinning around.

The characters in Lego Ninjago Nindroids can also jump, double jump, punch and kick. Pressing buttons is another essential part of playing Lego Ninjago Nindroids. Since that opens doors, moves elevators, and more. Don't worry about taking notes from my review, because the game will also explain all of this to you.

The hand held Lego games in recent years have included one major flaw. Die, and it is level over. Which is obnoxious after going almost completely through a level. Lego Ninjago Nindroids fixes that flaw. You can die, and respawn multiple times. Which is a big help to kids.

My personal biggest nemesis is back in Lego Ninjago Nindroids - the timer. I never once completed a level in the time allowed. I failed that goal every single time. In fact I stopped paying attention to it, and never even bother trying to complete that goal. To me it is a waste of space on the game cartridge.

Lego Ninjago Nindroids takes kids through the first five episodes of the animated TV series. Which is really neat and epic in my personal opinion. Lego Ninjago Nindroids on the 3DS/Vita can be a nice introduction to the franchise and series.

There are two main kinds of levels in Lego Ninjago Nindroids. There is the action adventure exploring levels where characters can be swapped. There is violence in this as we have to fight off enemy characters like robots for example. There are also vehicle levels where we are on a rail shooter. Hold down the fire button, and move the cursor around to destroy everything on the screen.

There are just over thirty levels in Lego Ninjago Nindroids. Hidden in certain levels are fun little mini games that will distract from the main story. The hub is also a nice place to go to purchase characters, get hints, train in the Dojo, or play some arcade challenges.
