Naruto: Ninja Council

"Alright, but nothing special."

This game is alright, but nothing to special to waste money on. Unless your a Naruto fan, do not get this game. I got it, big mistake. I felt like a complete idiot for getting this game.

The gameplay is simple, A is jump, B is punch, R is distance attack, and holding L and R together and releasing at the right time does a special. Nothing special like big combos, or cinematic specials. The controls are pretty easy, and since there isn't much to do, you get bored fast.

The graphics for this game aren't good. Nothing to look at here. There is no good attacks to see, or levels, and the characters are poorly done. The enemies look completely stupid.

The storyline isn't good either. It doesn't follow the storyline from the show. There is little talking, and the talking that does take place is extremely fake. If you haven't watched Naruto, and you play this game, don't bother listening to the storyline, it's a lie!

The difficulty is too easy, and boss battles are easy to win. The time limit for the levels is annoying, but you rarely don't make it. Even on hard mode, it is extremely to easy.

The levels are too short, and are poorly done. There is only one way to get through the level, so it is really boring. There are two levels in one area, so you get really tired of it.

The unlockables stink in this game. All you unlock are a few pictures, sound test, and one extra character. The pictures are terrible, the sound test stinks, but the one character, Kakashi, is really good. They aren't easy to get either, so it is worthless to get it.

The replayability for this game, none. You can't do it because it is the same thing. Even if your a different character, it gets extremely boring extremely fast.
If you really want to see this game, rent it. So if you aren't a Naruto fan, don't get this.
