Naruto: Ultimate NinjaStrengths: Great gameplay, good learning curve, and excellent graphics. Weakness: Be prepared to put a lot of time in to unlock the game's unlockables. This game is fun to play. You don't have to be a genius at fighting games to learn this game, though having fast fingers helps. The cell-shading graphics are excellent and it helps that they used all of the voice actors from the anime to give the player the feeling that they are in Naruto's world. In addition to the standard battle mode, the player can also go into mission mode and participate in missions, which are battles against characters with certain restrictions that will test their skills (and sometimes their patience). It will take a lot of hours to unlock all of the game's unlockables (including two playable characters), but overall, it's a fun game to play. 50% of readers found this review helpful.

Naruto: Ultimate NinjaStrengths: Good fighter, fast paced action, good story line Weakness: More of a button smasher than controlled combos Ultimate Ninja is obviously a fighter based off the Naruto anime show. The characters involved in the game are all from the show and contain almost everyone in the show. The storyline in the game is independent of the show, but it still helps to have watched a season or two of the show to understand some of the background information (who likes who, who're enemies, why, etc.). Beyond the actual story, the fighting is mostly great. It is definitely fast paced and each character has strengths and weaknesses that can be exploited. Unfortunately, the style of the game leads more to button smashing than it does trying to perform linked combos and controlled attacks. It is still possible to do combos and such, but when you see someone button smashing and getting the same results, it's a bit irritating. Nonetheless, a good fighter and something worth picking up if you're into the show. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Naruto: Ultimate NinjaStrengths: Fun fighter, reminscent of Dragonball Z games Weakness: Not as much fun if you've never watched Naruto Let me start off by saying that I've never watched the anime series Naruto before in my life. That being said, I had no idea what to expct from this game. After playing it for a while, I can say that I liked it to a certain extent. The game reminded me a lot of the Dragonball Z games, just with different characters and fighting styles. The fighting was definitely fast and furious, but the story lost me pretty quickly since I didn't have a good understanding of who was who and why they were doing what they did. Nonetheless, if you just enjoy it as a fighter, you'll get a decent amount of gameplay out of it before you toss it back on the shelf. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja
If you answered... (A) Me! Stay with us. (B) No thanks. You might want to hang around anyway. Fighting games are infectious. You might not think you want the disease at first, but once you're infected, you won't go looking for a cure. (C) Dude, it's summer!? You're already playing Naruto: Ultimate Ninja and may go back to your console immediately. Wouldn't want those dangerous UV rays to hurt... Top

Naruto Ultimate ninja
The games got some good gameplay I have to admit .Its cool how you can play with Gaara and the other charachters from the sand village ,you also get to play with other charachters you don't get to play with in the Gamecube game Naruto:Clash of Ninja. So I guess it's a pretty good game on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it an 8.5.
