Shawnimals Ninja Town has launched in the US, with Australia to follow later this month, to fantastic reviews.

Developed by South Peak games, Ninja Town is a tactical strategy game, which manages to cleverly mix cutesy graphics with challenging gameplay, meaning the shelf life of this one will last a lot longer than your average title.

Nintendo Wii owners can get a sneak at this release, with a playable demo available for download via the Nintendo Channel (check out IGN for more info), and you can even visit http://create.ninjatown.com and create your very own Ninjas with the Wee Ninjatron, which can then be shared with their friends via Facebook, MySpace and more.

Here's Mine =)

Description: The Ninjatown story thus far...

Ninjatown is nestled quite literally between a rock and a hard place. On one side, the towering, active volcano Mount Feroshi. On the other, the mysterious Dark Forest where evil of many kinds resides.

For many years, the existence of a ninja clan within the world of Shawnimals was only legend. Wee Ninjas lived quietly secluded until their supply of ninja star-shaped cookies dwindled and they had to search further and further away for the rare ingredients for their secret recipe. It was then that a Wee Ninja was seen, harvesting Stealth Wheat which grows only when you’re not watching, and the darkest of dark chocolate (called Night Cocoa) found deep in the maze of caves underneath Mount Feroshi.

Ninjatown is similar to any small town or village, with corner stores, parks, and houses, except with a few key differences. First, by and large everyone in Ninjatown is a ninja, each with a unique set of skills. Second, there are only a few types of structures: A ninja hut, a training dojo and a Stealthscraper where Business Ninjas and Ninja Consultants work.
