Short term fun for Naruto fans only

I'm a big Naruto fan, so I bought this when it was on sale. If you aren't a fan, don't bother. If you are a fan, pick it up when it hits the $10-15 range.

The combat is pretty simple and gets old. The fun comes from collecting and playing as such a large group of characters. If you're favorite is missing...than your favorite is either too new or too obscure ;)

In my opinion, the best Naruto game to be released in the US so far has been Ultimate Ninja 3 on the PS2. I think it has more playable characters than any other, and a really strong and varied fighting system. It's a lot of fun to play.

Pretty Decent Game

Okay, first of all, this has no storyline. It's all about ranking up. You start off as a low-ranking ninja doing easy D-ranked missions and end as a Jonin doing S-Rank missions. If you don't mind that, then this game is pretty good. As another reviewer said, I like how each character has their own qualities. Lee is faster than Choji, and I believe other characters can jump higher than others (say, Kakashi and Naruto).

The downside is it's fairly short, it only took me a total of 11 hours to beat it as it is pretty easy if you play it on the normal level, and I found only two of the missions really challenging (Defend the Bridge and 100-Man Spar). I think you can play it over again though to unlock some wallpaper or something. The graphics are okay, it's not all 3D and flashy or anything but it'll do.

Overall, I'd say it's a great game, perfect for when you're bored or you just want to kick some butt as your favorite Naruto character.

slow clap

This game has no direct storyline, so it sucks! why would they make a game that has no storyline I don't get it, if you got the second one and are expecting a game that is just as good or better you will be very disappointed in this one. I recommend only if you are really bored and don't have anything better to do.

Fun but Short

This game has no direct storyline but focuses instead on missions. Some missions can get frustratingly difficult, while others are surprisingly easy. You start the game with only D-rank (or easy) missions and after completing all of them move on to C, B, A, and S rank missions.

The array of jutsu and use of the stylus in this area is very impressive. One of the most fun parts of the game is deploying various jutsu such as Neji's byakugan and Sasuke's pheonix flower jutsu.

The list of characters is also varied, so any Naruto fan can play their favorite character, etc. The characters each have different qualities. For example, Rock Lee is faster then, say, Sakura. This gives a more realistic quality to the game. The graphics are not in 3-D, but are quite good all the same. The audio is ok, and sound effects are fine.

The one larger downside of the game is its length. I finished it in around six or seven hours, which is quite short. Despite this, even after beating it, I find the game quite fun all the same. You can replay levels with different characters and change the difficulty level (easy, normal, and hard) to change various levels as well.

Overall, any Naruto fan or newbie to the whole series, would find this game worth while.

Too fast!

I agree with YukinaKid, I liked it at first but I beat it in 3 hours! It needed to be a bit more challenging. I love Naruto and I expected better.

Believe It!!!

This is a great game. I'm only up to the B rank missions right now but the jist of the game is this: you start off with D rank missions and move up to higher missions with higher difficulties. Along the way you'll unlock different characters (27 in total) and different jutsus. I love the attention to detail. Each character has their own distinct fighting style and not just a cheap copy of moves when performing regular attacks. They also use the real character's voices. Allowing you to use other character's signature jutsus is also a nice feature. I've only got 1/2 the characters unlocked right now but I'm loving this game and I can't put it down. Definitly a must-buy for Naruto fans.

Too Quick

It started out alright, but the game was beaten in the course of 5 hours. Fun, but hardly worth the money. Very dissapointing.

Good but could get frustrating

This game has over 25 characters (27) and has 60+ missions. its fun using the mic and touch screens for characters specials.i always use nejis byakugan attack! the missions could get frustating though. other than that this game is awesome!
