Written by Matt Swider on November 18, 2003

News: The PlayStation 2 version of I-Ninja is available in stores around the country with GameCube & Xbox editions to follow.

Namco announced its character-based action-adventure title, I-Ninja, has begun shipping to stores today for PlayStation 2 and that the GameCube and Xbox versions of the game will release in early December.

I-Ninja offers an adrenaline-charged action adventure experience in beautifully rendered environments; each specifically designed to challenge the rookie protagonist, Ninja, and his unique abilities. With a small, earthlike planet called УThe WorldФ as his backdrop, Ninja travels from beaches to mountains and beyond, earning new Ninja belts, recovering lost relics and facing his ultimate nemesis.

Throughout the course of his travels, Ninja fights a host of fearsome enemies and overcomes a variety of obstacles as he attempts to outwit guardians, masters, mini bosses and evil army henchmen. Challenging the powers of gravity, Ninja grinds rails, hovers long distances with a sword-copter, utilizes powerful chains and grapple hooks, runs on walls and performs other slick ninja moves to traverse and succeed in any situation.

УHe may be small in stature, but not in attitude,Ф said Jon Kromrey, Senior Producer at Namco Hometek Inc. УNinja is the ultimate warrior--defying gravity at every turn, slicing and dicing enemies and sharpening his ninja skillsЧall in the pursuit of kicking bad guy butt.Ф
