Review: Dragon Ball Z – Ultimate Tenkaichi (PS3)

The unbearably cute DS RTS game Ninjatown showed up last week to critical acclaim (Metacritic shows nothing lower than 80). Since each copy of the game comes with one of twelve randomly-inserted cling decals, the Ninja PR Agents wanted to let everybody know just how rare your sticker may be. But, being Ninjas, they refused to reduce their fractions.

Wee Ninja : 4/20
White Ninja: 3/20
Anti Ninja: 2/20
Business Ninja: 1/20
Ninja Consultant: 1/40
Baby Ninja: 2/20
Ninja Dropping: 2/20
Feroshi the Dino Slug: 1/40
Wee Devil: 1/20
Zombie Ninja: 3/20
Ol’ Master Ninja ??/??
Mr. Demon ??/??

So if you snagged one of the last two, consider yourself the recipient of the rarest rare that was ever rared. Good luck trading up for that one, losers.

Me, I’m just dead curious about the “Ninja Dropping” decal. Is that a verb or a noun?

Boring and somewhat obvious info on how Ninjatown grades your level performance after the jump.

Ninjatown grades are based off of the number of lives left, or
the percentage of life left on a building that should be protected:

A = 10 or 100%

B = 8 -9 or 80 -99%

C = 6 – 7 or 70-89%

D = 5 or below 69% or below.

There is one more grade you can get only if you choose Easy mode which
is offered after a map is failed 3 times:

E = won map on Easy mode

I haven’t played it yet, but Ninjatown strikes me as one of those great little games that gets irredeemably overwhelmed during the holiday season… particularly as it is new IP on the license-choked, kid-friendly DS. I need to pick this one up. For the good of the industry.
