My favourite weird license. It's not even a bad game and you'd never know it was licensed unless you were told.
It's based on an action figure set

There's some weirdly licensed games out there.
I mean shit like Cy Girls which is based on a series of action figures.
Another weird one is Ace Lightning also for the PS2 which is based on an in-universe game-within-a-show of a kids tv show.
The Mission for PS1 is based on a 90-second Nike ad.

One of the weirdest licensed games ever made
Not the game itself, it's just a standard action game. But the license it's based on is just action figures

Why is this game so fucking slow? It’s like the ninja chick has to pause briefly before she does anything, and her jump arcs take so long to complete. The game on the whole doesn’t seem badly designed, but everything feels like it’s underwater. Konami generally knew what they were doing back then, so what happened here?
