Assassinate the shogun, then vanish without a trace in this interactive fantasy novel! In the high-stakes game of politics between two feudal lords, you are a ninja village's chosen warrior. Earn glory for your clan as you battle your enemies, becoming a master of magic, combat, and stealth. Choice of the Ninja is an epic interactive fantasy novel by Katherine Buffington, where your choices determine how the story proceeds. The game is entirely text-based--without graphics or sound effects--but driven by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Will you bring peace to your village, or return home in shame? Will you serve your daimyo obediently, or defy his orders for the greater good? Or will you use your powers of invisibility for personal gain? The choice is yours.

Disappointing.

Unidraconus
This was not what I hoped it would be. I wanted darker writing with more stealth, action, suspense and kick-buttery. What I got was a kids novel fit for ages 8-12. Even then the characters were shallow, choices not very ninja, story not very thrilling, fighting not very entertaining. Over all unless your a kiddo that hasn't read much this is hardly worth the time unless you just want to say you read a ninja story. I played one time then lost interest. In my younger days when choice books were the rage this would have been published in limited print...

I enjoyed the first version of Ninja, but the updated version greatly expands the original story and makes it a more in-depth game. I was disappointed that there were no new missions following the ending, just more detailed versions of the old ones, though the expansions for those missions are fun and intriguing. Honestly, it feels like this version should have been the original, but now that the foundation has been properly laid, I, along with all the other Ninja fans, eagerly await new missions and adventures! Especially can't wait to see what happens with the main character's love interest!

I played this game when it was first released and was frankly unimpressed. Thankfully, after the update the content in this game has improved to the point that it is worthy of the CoG title. All new (and vastly improved) endings, revamped missions, and an excellent romance plot have been added. It is a little sad most people wont even stop back to see how much better this game has become.

I agree with Unidraconus' review that this one's more for kiddies. I don't think much research went into this either as far as Japanese culture or how ninjas were trained or operated. A regional ninja academy? Really? Complete with Hogwarts-like instructors for different subjects? Seemed like the author was just adapting his/her American suburbian experience to a "ninja school". Maybe I'm wrong but that doesn't sound historically accurate to me. Anyway, story is predictable and the fight scenes are disappointing and few and far between. Overall, very generic with ninja overlay.
