About this game

I-Ninja is a cartoon-style 3D action-platform game starring a spirited young ninja in a blue suit and hooded mask. Players travel through five themed indoor and outdoor areas while battling Master O-Dor's Ranx foot soldiers and a range of bosses.

The ninja uses twin katana blades alongside shurikens, swords, blowguns, rocket launchers, and homing missiles. Traversal combines traditional platforming with wall-running, ramp-running, barrel hopping, extreme rails, roller spheres, and the sword copter. The adventure also includes a battle against a 150-foot robot while piloting a robot warrior.

Developed by Argonaut Games and published by Namco, I-Ninja was released on December 4, 2003, for Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, PC (Microsoft Windows), and PlayStation 2.
