  1. It is truly one of the powerhouse titles on the DS, and everybody should give it a try - especially Naruto fans.
  2. As a fighter on the DS however it makes great strides in the right direction and if you're a fan of the show or previous games, this is a great game to go check out.
  3. Certainly a game most fighting fans will go back to. It could also be the first time young gamers discover the genre, and with its instantly-addictive gameplay, they're likely to stick with the genre from here on out.
  4. Fun and frustrating at the same time.

    Fighting game with very nice looking cel-shaded characters but very simplistic, button bashing game mechanics. All style, no substance.

The fighting mechanics are very simple and almost to the point requires no though into what "combo" can I do. The story mode is short and trust me after you've played the story mode, you would never want to go back. The Battle mode is practically what you get from the story mode, just battles. No fun, not much characters. Wireless Battle mode... lawl. And the menu, just looking at the menu can give you a synopsis of how this game will be. A bad to average game both Naruto and Non Naruto fans will say "School project or a game created under 90 minutes?" Full Review »
