Adventure Island: The Beginning
Stars indicate the most critically-acclaimed games. |
(Also known as "Naruto: Clash of Ninja MVZ") A head-to-head fighting game based on episodes from VIZ Media's anime series SHONEN JUMP NARUTO and includes characters that have never been featured in the Clash of Ninja game series. The game takes advantage of the Wii Remote in fast-paced ninja action for up to four players in nine different gameplay modes. The game allows players to launch attacks with the Wii Remote using Ninja-like movements, and features special mini-games created exclusively for use with the Wii Remote. [D3 Publisher of America]

Somehow, Naruto Clash of the Ninja Revolution both makes good use of the license and ended up being a very enjoyable game overall. It might not be the greatest game of this year, but there is a lot to like about Naruto Clash of the Ninja Revolution.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution isn’t a huge improvement over its GameCube predecessors, but it is still a better overall package, and for that we can’t fault it.

Sure, it's not a big deviation from the Clash of Ninja franchise formula, but I can appreciate it for what it's worth: a good time.

Overall, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is a great fighter for the Wii that isn’t as full-featured as it could be, but it’s probably good enough to take the crown of the best fighter on the Wii this year.

A completely manic fighting game that makes it satisfyingly simple to do some impressively simple moves. [Jan 2008, p.54]

The presentation captures the essence of the show– even with its sometimes-squeaky character voicework. Revolution also has Wii-specific mini-games packed in, along with the option to fight against three other players – always a bonus for this type of game.

This game hits the mark in being a fun fighter. For once, the Wii controls weren't an after thought -- they actually help the game instead of hindering it. Good choice for anyone who wants a good fighter or fun game on the Wii.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution - it isn't a crappy game with a license tacked on, but rather a great game that makes excellent usage of a license to enhance the overall feel.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is not a bad game; however, it is not a great game either. It’s a good game with growing pains.

It has everything you want in your fighting games with the exception of online capabilities.

A simple fighting game, designed for fans of the Naruto.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is a solid fighting game which has the same atmosphere as the cartoon. If you like the series, you must add this game to your collection. For other players this game might also be interesting, since it's the first good fighting game for the Wii so far.

Despite the lack of ambition, with a great fighting system that never gets boring, Naruto provides fast and furious fights, making it one of the best fighters available for the Wii, even if you’re not a Naruto fan.

PALGN
There are a range of gameplay modes on offer, a simple yet fun combat system, and there are several controls schemes to choose from. A must for Naruto fans.

GameSpy
Fans will eat this game up, obviously, and everyone else will find it to be enjoyable if not terribly involving.

Nintendo Power
While this is still a solid game, the formula's starting to get stale. [Dec 2007, p.84]

Digital Entertainment News
This is a solid anime title, although this franchise is getting to be so repetitive that these games don't offer anything but fan service. The GC, and now Wii, line of the series was the strongest of the titles, but they need to bring more story into a title that relies so heavily on its characters.
70
My Gamer
Despite all this, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is still just a simple, mediocre fighting game that doesn’t adequately fall back on its source material enough for it to warrant a purchase for anybody expecting an experience like the one offered by the show.

NintendoWorldReport
Everything from the visual presentation to the core fighting system has stayed stagnant since the original GameCube game.

GameTrailers
Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution basically just pays lip service to the fans of the series. It’s got a bunch of characters and voice actors from the show all wrapped up in an uninspired fighting game engine.

1UP
A couple of minigames and slight modifications to the stage design is hardly a new experience. Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution may claim it's bringing the fighting revolution to the Wii, but we've already been there. Twice, in fact.

Worth Playing
This title is not bad, but it's not particularly good, either; it simply blends into the crowd. That trait may be great for a ninja, but it's not so good for a console title.

GameSpot
The Clash of Ninja games haven't been great, and Revolution isn't much more than a thin coat of paint on the same old game.
