Fruit Ninja

Fruit Ninja

 

Creativity

Pros: great illustration, can taste the fruit juice, good use of finger as sword, original, simple idea.

Cons: maybe create imaginary fruits to add to originality.

 

Interactivity

Pros: fun use of swipe at the main menu, easy for casual gamer, anyone can play.

Cons: difficult to maintain interest for a serious gamer.

 

Sales/downloads

25,000,000+ downloads.

 

Marketability

Fruit Ninja has expanded beyond the app store and that’s crucial in marketing your product. It’s hard to market Fruit Ninja because there’s no poster image for the game. The only thing to market is the fruit. That said, they are on Xbox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzsmDfKzk7M

 

Notes: You can’t help but feel like Zorro when playing this game. You slash the fruits in half and all that remains is perfectly sliced fruit and the trail of your ‘blade’. Arcade mode is an easy way to pass as a minute and classic mode can pass much more time than that. Fruit Ninja may also be the only game that’s truly playable for all ages. So long as you don’t swipe the black round things on the screen, you can play. Great for anyone.
