"A nice educational game."

by: Molotov

date: July 7, 2009

This was a fun game and i wouldn't normally say that about educational style games but you gave this a fun concept with it having to due with ninjas and a couple of nice animated scenes along with a great way of answering the grammar questions by throwing the ninja star at the words,the sound effects were solid and overall i enjoyed this game very much. =)

"Nice idea, terrible grammar"

Create a game called Grammar Ninja and you're simply begging for the ACTUAL grammar ninjas (or police, whatever you may call them) to come by. Hence:

For a game that's centred on trying to teach grammar, it does a VERY poor job. A few examples (off the top of my head):

1) "love" in "love" is NOT an adjective; "love note" is a compound noun and consists of two seperate nouns. No compound noun consists of less than one noun. No noun can become an adjective as a result of it being compounded with another noun. The same goes for "English class", unless the actual class IS English (which it is not; it is a class ABOUT English), and "pecan pie". Why you would suddenly decide to be correct in that "Snowboard" in "Snowboard Kids" is a noun is beyond me...

2) "United" in "United States", on the other hand, IS an adjective; while "United States" as a whole is an NP and might therefore easily be mistaken for a compound noun, "United" can simply NEVER be a noun.

3) "the", "a", and "an" are the only three articles RP English has (that is: received pronunciation; 'official' English, excluding regional differences).

4) "my" is NOT an adjective, nor an article. It is a (possessive) pronoun. The same goes for "our".

5) "any" is NOT an adjective: it is a quantifier.

6) "up" in "fills me up" is definitely NOT an adverb: it is a postposition.

7) Whoever decided "will" in "will ring" is an adverb should be shot in the head, especially considering you did not label "will" in "will not allow" as an adverb as well.

8) "today" is most definitely NOT a noun: it is an adverb.

9) "three" is not an adjective: it is a numeral.

That said, your game would've gotten a 7 for including ninjas, being about grammar, and random awesomeness. I gave it less than half for it being only a half-hearted attempt. I say give your English teacher a heads up, as well, because you can't expect students to understand grammar if the teacher themself performs this poorly.

"Great game. NINJAS FTW! ^^"

Hey guys and gals of the Newgrounds world! ^^

Ok, this game is great for two reasons.

Number 1, it has ninjas in it.

Number 2, it teaches you the use of correct grammar, which in a lot of cases in these reviews, is needed.

Keep up the good work, man, love the game.

PS. If you want to download ANY of the newgrounds games to your pc, all you need to do is download Mozilla Firefox, load the game, and with the game running, at the top of your browser, where it says File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools and Help, click on tools, then click Page Info. Click the MEDIA tab, and scroll down the list for the .SWF file that you want to download. It should be something like "NAME OF GAME - VERSION NUMBER.swf"

Click the .SWF file, click Save As, then save the file to a place on your PC that you can easily find later. Personally, I recommend making a folder on your desktop, or in your games folder, called FLASH GAMES, and save it in there. Simply right-click the icon when you want to run it, and move your mouse to "Open With" click on Firefox, and you're playing, full screen. You can click and drag the corners / edges of the browser window to tweak the game window size. Basically, the size of the browser = the size of the game on your screen minus the address bar, and file menus.

Hope that helped those of you that want to be able to play your favourite flash games OFFLINE! :D

Side note, if the game you're playing has a scoreboard system, some of the time, when you play offline, it won't be able to send your score to the net for placement in the high score system, even if you ARE online and playing the game from your PC. Sometimes, the game itself contains infomation about the site it uploads scores to, and will upload straight to that, as long as you're online, but don't count on it to be the case allt he time. ;)

"I'm a grammar nazi."

Let me just say, this game blows. Half of the "correct" answers are not correct. Pronouns are NOT adjectives. Whoever made this game does not understand the English language and maybe needs to take 4th grade English again.

"It's about time ..."

... we had a game that looked at grammar. Plenty of games where you have to solve puzzles, or shoot things, or even spell words, but I think this is the first grammar game I've seen anywhere. Plus ninjas are awesome.
