Fruit Ninja Critic Reviews

Fruit Ninja is fun, fun, fun. It's an instant pleasure and one you can find yourself hooked to, determined to post the highest fruit-murdering scores on OpenFeint or Facebook.

It's cheap, it's undemanding, and it's perfectly suited to the platform it's on.

Fruit Ninja is the sort of game that has come to typify the rising dominance of quick, simple and most of all additively fun gameplay that's great value for your iDevice.

The game is fast-paced and simple (the only way to fail is to miss three fruits or accidentally slice a bomb), and the inclusion of online global leaderboards adds a little extra incentive to boot up the game when I'd otherwise be bored.

It's simple, fun and best of all challenging.

Fruit Ninja is the perfect casual game that I thoroughly enjoyed. While there are minor problems I stated above, it's an overall solid appearance on the App Store and one that casual gamers shouldn't miss.

Next time you're waiting for a haircut, cut up some fruit while you wait. It probably did something to deserve it.

Perhaps the best part is that this game isn't even complete. A whole new game mode is expected to be released sometime in the near future, so you're in fact investing in the game, which already costs practically nothing.

Fruit Ninja is a really fun and immediate "sword simulator", with two game modes and lots of fruits to cut in mid-air. Due to a very repetitive gameplay, however, you could get bored soon.

Unfortunately, there's only one mode, making Fruit Ninja a one-trick pony. But considering the price of the game and those advanced online features, we'll let it slide. Clearly, the best type of app is the one you can't resist playing and/or can easily play any time, and that being said, this game is worth every penny.

It's stupidly moreish, and we're kind of recommending it, despite the fact that there's not really much of a game here.

As simple and fun as Fruit Ninja evidently is, it feels like a Wario Ware game isolated for a single release.
