 Great fun January 4, 2008

My son and I have a blast playing this game. I think it makes very good use of the wii controllers. Also the different characters have unique moves with strengths and weaknesses to make game play continuously interesting.
 Needs more training to become a good fighter January 1, 2008

The Naruto series of games will most likely evolve along the lines of the Dragon Ball series of game, which is a good thing. This fighter, while frantic and fun at times, is not quite a mature fighting game yet.
Pro's:
-Almost all of your favorite characters from the series.
-Many signature jutsu's present and with interesting animations.
-While simplified, combat and combo system are responsive and characters are evenly balanced.
Con's:
-Oversimplified controls leads to stale gameplay. What good is 20 characters if they all control the same? Only two attack buttons and a single button for jutsu's make each fighter feel the same.
-Story mode is simplified and rather dissapointing. If you liked the series, the story mode is a bad retelling of it, and if you're new to the series, the story mode won't give you any of the excitement the show does. At least the DBZ games make more effort to include the action of the show in the story mode.
-Jutsu's are dissapointing and add little strategy. Each character usually has one jutsu, accomplished by pressing one button, which connects in the same way, with an initial strike needing to land. No jutsu's used as a counter (Shikamaru or Naruto's rasengan would be ideal for this,) No long distance jutsu's (Temari and Tenten would be ideal for this,) no projectile jutsu's (Kankuro's poison needles? nope. Gaara's sand shuriken? nope.) Everybody needs to get in close and land their jutsu like a punch. Boring.
-No depth of game play.
Clash of Ninja Revolution is too oversimplified to be anything but a rental. The initial fun of pounding out simple combos and jutsu's and unlocking new characters dissapears once you realize that the characters all feel the same and have the same strategies: bang away with preset combo's till your meter is full then add a jutsu at the end of a combo to win. Even the special missions where you need to finish an oppenent with a specific move can be accomplished in one or two tries.
Overall, fighting game fans will find this to be cotton candy, not a nice juicy steak.
Naruto is good because of the 4 player mode December 29, 2007
It has an issue regarding the missions... They tend to be boring sometimes. On the upside, there are new characters and you can play it with game cube controls
Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution December 28, 2007
Fun game. A lot of good challenges. Each person has there own special attacks & defenses. Good multiplayer game. A game that works for the Wii. The training mode shows button pushes for the classic controller and would be better if it also showed the wii remote. I suggest using the training mode to play with the buttons on the wii remote & numchuck. Wish the game book had a better guide seems to been designed for the game cube. But overall the game is a lot of fun.
