Being a ninja sure isn't easy, and your belt ranks sure aren't gonna be served to you on a silver platter. Of course, you've got to earn them! In Electronic Arts' up and coming Ninja Reflex, you sure will be put to the test. Lots of them.

If you're interested in getting a headstart on all the other ninja students, then go ahead and click Play on this video embed for you to see the very first Belt Test that you will encounter in the game. And you might as well be warned that it's not as breezy as flying through trees in stealth mode ala Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

There'll be katana fighting, koi catching with your bare hands, and nunchaku wielding. If you prove to be a formidable student worthy of a promotion, then your Mechanical Bamboo rank will be elevated to the Red Belt. Hooray! And you know that's just the beginning of the tests.

Go on, prepare yourselves and see the vid. Enjoy it too, while you're at it.
