NARUTO!

Reviewed by hardcore28 on March 06, 2007  |  report this review

Naruto Clash of the Ninja is a great game for Naruto fans but not for the occasional fighting fans. This game does not actually showcase every single skill the character has in the series. If I was you, I say buy the ps2 game, Naruto Ultimate Ninja if you want variety and better graphics.

REVIEW

this game has pretty good graphics in my opinion for how old this game is. it only has 8 characters though, and not a lot of moves they can use that they use in the series, even though there are a lot of different combos that you can do. over all, i give it a 3 and a half.

Far too short and far too shallow

This game has a lot going for it. The fighting style is really great, and it handles in a unique way that's very different from other fighting games. You automatically block by standing still, and you can easily escape from other people's combos by pressing L or R and spending your stored up "chakra." Fighting from a distance is easy, since most characters are equipped with shuriken that they can throw with a simple press of the A button, mainly for distractions, but the damage adds up if you aren't careful. And the graphics style is playful and cartoony, which is a good fit for the game.

But the thing that kills it is lack of depth.

With only eight characters to choose from, it gets old fast. Really fast. Sure, the fighting style is fun. But it basically just sucks, because you only have so many guys to play with. Add to this that the vastly, vastly, vastly better sequel, with three times as many playable characters, four-player simultaneous, and lots of other goodies, was released just a few months after this, and this game is really just a waste of money. Get Clash of Ninja 2 instead. It's probably even cheaper, since it's Player's Choice. Skip this. You might get four hours of gameplay if you're lucky.
