Running around smacking bad guys is fun to an extent, but it's when the game starts to wander from the beaten path that we experienced trouble. The partner you have exists only to be window dressing and for you to control when the game demands that both ninjas solve a puzzle. While you clear an area of enemies, all too often you'll find your AI buddy struggling with the same foe they were on when you started. Playing with a friend definitely adds value to the game, as your AI partners are typically useless in any practical sense. It isn't entirely unplayable in TV mode, but in portable mode you're can kiss your chances of understanding what's happening goodbye. The screen is split vertically and the framerate takes a nose dive. Two-player co-op play is available but we can hardly recommend it. Each time you earn a token you are forced to spend it immediately each ability costs a single token, so there's some value to that, but it's harmful to the overall experience to be removed from what you're doing to buy an ability you may not need at that moment. There are abilities, dubbed Ninjanuities(groan) which can be purchased using Ninjanuity Tokens (double groan). Combat is strictly a button-mashing affair but it gets the job done.

Mechanically, Ninjago works about as well as you might expect it to.
