It’s not often that you say how effective a combination of martial arts and watermelons has proven to be in a game, although that would be doing a disservice to all the other fruit featured in Fruit Ninja, a frighteningly simple, yet addictive, finger slashing vitamin-C overdose.

Simply poise your finger(s) above the screen and wait for different fruit to be tossed up into the air.

Then slash your fingers across the fruit, slicing it in two and moving your score up by one.

Trigger happy slashers beware, though, rogue bombs have a habit of being thrown into the mix, which will end your game instantly should you give them the chop, while letting three fruit drop back below the bottom of the screen will also be curtains.

Simple 3D graphics, superb styling and amazing slashing audio with eerie ninja warbling all add up to a seriously challenging hack ’n’ slash with a difference.

Anyone for orange juice?
