Summary
We’re on a roll with presenting blockbuster hit games this week—yesterday is was World of Goo and today its Fruit Ninja time. Unless you’ve been living under a rock you will have heard of it, provided you are a gaming fan, of course. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case in the fruit salad. Fruit Ninja has been downloaded 250 000 times already (for Android and iOS).
Is it worth the hype?
Features & Use
Section rating:
Test device:
-HTC Desire with 2.3.7 (Root and Custom ROM)
Fruit Ninja's UI bodes well for what the game has in store for us: it's adorned with lots of fun animations.
The main screen harbours an option for setting the volume as well as four fields that you select by chopping the fruit: there’s ‘New Game’, ‘Dojo’, ‘Feint’ and ‘Quit’.
Hit New Game in order to start a new round as well as select which mode you’d like to play: choose between ‘Classic’, ‘Zen Mode’ and ‘Arcade Mode’.
In classic mode you have to slash, slice and chop up fruit using the touchscreen and your trusty old fingers. Just be sure not to accidentally chop up a bomb or let more than two fruit slip by unharmed, unless you want to game to be over. You score points every time you slice up a fruit.
Should you not want to have to deal with flying bombs or lives that are running out give Zen Mode a spin. This mode is all about scoring as many points as possible within a 90 second time frame.
When playing the Arcade Mode you have 60 seconds to chop the goods, and, again, mind the bombs. Some of the fruit are special: for instance, some will trigger a ‘Freeze’ mode. Certain fruit combinations will also score you more points.
The three modes are all great and guarantee variety.
Hit Dojo in order to access the ‘Sensei’s Swag’, which are basically game trophies. You will receive swords whenever you’ve accomplished certain feats, such as chop 40 bananas.
Bottom line:
Fruit Ninja is easy breezy, but so much fun and the perfect kind of game for those in-between moments.
The different game modes help kill boredom and you can boast your high scores via OpenFeint.
No explanations are provided, meaning that users are left to research what certain swords or game modes can do by themselves—but that’s why we’re providing you with today’s review.
Screen & Controls
Section rating:
Controls for this application are relatively simple and intuitive—after all, you’re chopping fruit and not performing brain surgery. Fruit Ninja’s design is really nice made: the game is absolutely delicious.
An extra application – Fruit Ninja THD Free – is available for optimised tablet use.
Speed & Stability
Section rating:
Fruit Ninja runs very smoothly—we even tested it on the Desire, just to make sure it was up to par on slightly older devices, and it did beautifully.
Price/Performance Ratio
Section rating:
Fruit Ninja is available for EUR0,89 from the Android Market. A decent price if you consider how well this application is made.
