Ninja Warrior Reviews
Newest Review: ... within the timelimit set. The time seems to vary from series to series as there are some minor changes in the obstacles in each tournament but it's round about a minute and a half. Here's an example from one of the earlier shows - First they have to jump clear of some water over either some mounds / revolving cones or tilting type mechanisms - easy enough for most. Next it's the down hill Rolling log, which is typically one of the main stumbling blocks for the unwary. The plucky Ninja wannabees have to cling on for dear life as it spins them around. Somehow they then have to make their way across the menacingly designed "bri... more

~~~~It's another knockout!~~~~ For me, when the weekend finally comes around after yet another endlessly miserable week on the road in "la-la I'm not listening" IT land, there's really nothing I like better than to spend some "quality" time with my little lad indulging our shared passion for madcap TV action game shows. Over the last year or so, we've certainly roadtested a few varieties, ranging from the unfathomable and utterly unwinnable Japanese 80's classic that is Takeshi's Castle, the big red ball bouncing bravado of Total Wipeout through to the lycra suited splashtastrophy that is Hole in the Wall. But now ... Read the complete review

Ninja Warrior is an entertainment show set in Japan, following various four-stage tournaments, which one hundred people at a time try to beat. ~~ What is Ninja Warrior ~~ Ninja warrior basically resembles its caption: "The world's toughest assault course."

Various Japanese people come together to form 100 contestants who all compete in the first stage. Only those who complete the first stage move on to the second stage, which is harder than the first. Those who complete the second move on to the ... Read the complete review

I enjoy my game shows. I like standard ones with straight forward general knowledge questions like 'Eggheads' and I like gimmicky ones like 'Golden Balls'. I also like the downright ridiculous ones from Japan like 'Takeshi's Castle' Ninja Warrior could be described as a mixture of Takeshi's Castle and the physical agility round of the 'Krypton Factor', only more difficult. Contestants have to race against the clock to get through a number of very demanding physical obstacles within a certain time. If they make it through they then compete in a more difficult course, and so on until only one competitor remains, and they are crowned the 'Ninja ... Read the complete review

I have recently got hooked on this show after reading a review on the site and thouht I would check it out. It can be found on Challenge TV and is a one hour highlights show that is hosted by Stuart Hall who provides an excellent commentary on what is going on. This is a show set in Japan where athletes attempt to conquer a truly fiendish obstacle course. In all they have to complete four sections of the course and they can be eliminately at any time which usually involved them falling into dirty muddy water. Physically you have to be incredibly fit and agile and also not have a fear of heights as the last challeneg is a huge vertical rope climb ... Read the complete review
