  • Summary: Naruto: Clash of Ninja is a 3D fighting game based on the Japanese manga, Naruto. Take control of your favorite Naruto characters, including Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and more as you battle it out to determine who the greatest ninja is. Cel-shaded graphics parallel the style set forth in the cartoon, while special character-specific moves add to the feeling of authenticity. Expand

  1. The cel-shaded graphics are crisp and fit this title perfectly. [JPN Import]
  2. Bottom line: A three day rental would definitely give you an insight into how much longevity you'll wring out of Naruto: Clash Of Ninja in the long run.
  3. It doesn't add a whole lot to the fighting genre, but it's a rewarding game with a well-tuned fighting system and loads of replay value. [May 2006, p.91]

    What we have here is the most basic and elementary of fighting games. It's nothing to look at, listen to, or play.

    Naruto:Clash of Ninja is a basic fighting game with only 10 characters out of the 100's of Naruto characters. The extras in this game are basic but are pretty fun to play with. Expand

    Wherever CON falls short (i.e, characters, story, etc.), it more than makes up for in a simplistic yet well devised control scheme.

    Dont bother playing this one, just get Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 4 ( IMPORT ) from liksang.com or something, its 100 times better than this one, more Characters ( like Kabuto, Orochimaru, The Third Okage, Kimimaru, KYUUBI NARUTO and many more ), Japanese Voices ( which are WAY better than the English cast voices, and you know it... ), and the Characters are unlocked via Missions so u dont have to Buy them or anything like that. This one ( Naruto: Clash of Ninja ) Is just an Average Fighting game with crappy Voices, Decent Graphics, and a Small Number of Playable Characters. Expand

    I am a huge Naruto fan, such a big fan that i bought a GameCube just so I could play this game. That was the bigest waste of 140 dollars that I have ever spent. Weakest fighting system ever! Expand
