NARUTO: CLASH OF NINJA captures all of this intense fighting action and rivalry in its battles. The graphics are nearly identical to the animation in the show, with the characters and their attacks reproduced nearly identically. The locations and backdrops, as well, are inspired by the show. Seven fighters are available at the beginning of the game, and players can unlock three more by completing story mode. In addition to story mode, which recounts several NARUTO adventures with the ninjas-in-training and their opponents, the game also includes many modes that fighting gamers will be familiar with. Training, time trial, survival, one-on-one battles, and two player modes are also available. Fighting gamers who enjoy the occasional anime will find NARUTO: CLASH OF NINJA to be a solid fighting game. Fans of the anime will love controlling their favorite characters and recreating all of the explosive battles from the show. NARUTO: CLASH OF NINJA is a top-rate fighting game that solidly captures the essence of the anime it is based on. |
