Rating Summary
This is an action-adventure game based on the animated TV series Ninjago. Players assume the roles of ninjas trying to reclaim their powers and memories from a villain. From a ¾-overhead perspective, players traverse platform environments, solve puzzles, and use punches, kicks, elemental attacks, and weapons (e.g., swords, scythes, nunchuks) to defeat thugs and boss characters. Combat is accompanied by impact sounds, yells, and occasional explosions; characters burst into Lego pieces when defeated. The game includes instances of comic mischief: a close-up angle of a character's underwear after he loses his pants; tongue-in-cheek references in dialogue (e.g., “The only thing bruised is my dignity! And my butt” and “At least we didn't splat…I think I might've.”).
