SLAP CHOP! Fruit Ninja Game Review for iOS/Android

Thursday, September 30th, 2010 – running time 04:11

Quick and casual title puts you in control of a produce-loathing ninja as you slice your way to a high score, but is it too simple to keep your attention?

Fruit Ninja's a classic, arcade style 'high score' game. Slice fruit as they appear, avoid bombs. Miss three pieces of fruit or hit a bomb and it's game over. Multiplayer is available either in the form of score challenges which can be made to anyone, regardless of whether they're on iOS or Android, and also a realtime multiplayer mode for any two iPhones that support Game Center.

Honestly. You just slice fruit.

Pros, Cons & Final Judgment

Honestly, am I taking crazy pills, here, people? Because I don't get it. How is everyone having fun with this for more than five minutes? It's like babytown frolics - where's the variation? Where's the challenge? I know it's only a dollar, but who's going to play this for more than one day? I'm looking at scores of like 80 thousand on OpenFeint and wondering if these dudes are in the longest grocery line ever or something because I can't imagine someone doing this for an hour non-stop.
