Naruto: Clash of Ninja

THE GOOD:
the good thing about this game is how close everything is connected to the manga. each character has moves he/she actually uses in the manga (with the exception of iruka). the effects are spectacular and the action is extremely quick.

replacement technique is useable and adds flare to battles.

naruto, oiruke no jutsu is useable as counter

sharingan kakashi is unlockable character who can copy supers.

the music in stages where there is music is awesome just like the anime. its so great. and the sound effects are perfect.

its quite realistic in a ninja manga sense that there is delay for attacks and recovery time which means you need more skill.

for a challenge there is difficulty four which is very VERY taxing.

THE BAD:
sadly there isnt very much skill put into combo. combos are mostly like b+b+b+b+b or B+b+a+a+a or something like that, it needed work

also the major flaw is that the lack of characters

*SPOILERS*

the character list is

naruto
kyuubi naruto
sasuke
sakura
iruka
kakashi
sharingan no kakashi
zabuza
and haku

this as you can see is a very small amount of characters.

besides that, this game doesnt have many flaws BUT!!!!

it gets horribly boring if you only play by yourself. play it with friends

SUMMARY:
i would really ONLY reccomend this game to to strict fans of the manga

you can usually find this game running at around 60-70 bucks at online or local import stores. this is the type of game where there is no quarter circle foward punch moves so a arcadestick would be nice to add.

i would actually give two ratings

2/5 for NON FANS
4.1/5 FOR TRUE FANS

THANX ~
