    Naruto Shippuden Dragon Blade Chronicles is an easy game made for the young fans of the famous ninja. The older fans of Naruto's saga will be disappointed.

    The repetitive enemies, poor environment design and visual slowdown will turn you off so much that you'd never give the franchise another chance.

    Naruto has definitely seen better days. In the end, all these problems can't be forgiven when put together, not even by the most die-hard fans. Naruto: Dragon Blade Chronicles is perhaps a story that would have been better seen as an animated film. But as a video game, you can pass on this story.

    The coup de grace was slowdown that plagued the game from beginning to end, even when running through the many vacant hallways.

    Shallow combat, frustrating exploration, and crippling technical issues make Dragon Blade Chronicles a Naruto adventure to avoid.

    It's not that Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is completely broken, it's just that each and every aspect of it is so flawed that it results in an experience that is mediocre at best.

    How to describe this new Naruto on the Wii ? An error, a joke, rip-off, an infamy ? Hard to tell, but one thing's clear : the game is completely and utterly disastrous. It's like the fillers of the anime : uninspired, tasteless, and botched.

    Oh man is this game a pile of garbage. To make it short, Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is nothing but a quick cash grab from theOh man is this game a pile of garbage. To make it short, Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is nothing but a quick cash grab from the developers. The story aspects of the game seems much unappealing and there wasn't a whole lot of innovation for the gameplay mechanics. All you did was press B and slash your way from start to finish. The multi-player functionality.... lol. What kind of 2 player battle is this? From the get-go, you only have two characters to chose from, Naruto and Sasuke. I'm not lying that's all you get even if you finished the story or not. Next you battle between each other in a lackluster stage environment where battles become waaaaaay too repetitive. Beyond that..... well its that! That's all you get from this game. A slapped on story mode and a laughable attempted for a multi-player experience. If it wasn't for the decent art design this game was going for, I really don't know who would honestly picked up this. Expand
