Publisher: Sega
Released: 1993
Surf Ninjas is an action title that's based on the 1993 movie of the same name.
+ Offers on-the-fly strategy, as you can press Pause at any time to exchange gold for special weapons and upgrades.+ Stage 1's restaurant setting is a great opener, and locating the hidden cave to obtain the Kwantzu item is rewarding.
- However, the majority of the game's other stages are mundane with copy/paste layouts and bland scenic backdrops.
- Animation is jerky and button presses are frequently delayed or refuse to register entirely in the heat of battle.
- Double jump is unreliable, which leads to cheap deaths in later stages where precision platforming is expected.
- While checkpoints are fair, the game can spawn you in front of enemies who immediately deliver uncontested attacks.
- Suffers from a low frame-rate, and Johnny's pedestrian walking speed forces you to constantly jump to move quicker.
