  1. CONR3 really maximizes on the underlying potential the series has always had, and the online mode really pulls everything together to make it a game that, truly, can stand alongside the plethora of great fighters that have come out this year.

    If you love fighting games, you should consider Clash of Ninja 3, regardless whether you love or hate Naruto. Until Tatsunoko vs Capcom hits next year, it might be as the box declares, the Best Fighting Game on the Wii.
  3. Like any good fighting game, Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 thrives on multiplayer action. It stumbles in a few areas, and is certainly one of the more repetitive fighters released this year. But it's also a really good game that, when played with others, can be very addictive.
  4. The story of the game is pretty lame, but the developer managed to deliver a very good fighting system, so in the end it turns out to be a fun fighting game.
  5. Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is not a perfect game. It has plenty of issues when it comes to graphics and simplistic gameplay. However, it still manages to be a great fighter on the Wii. The online capabilities are what really boost this title past the competition. If you love Naruto or are looking for a decent fighter on the Wii, Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 will probably be your best bet.
  6. Naruto's latest is a good fighting game that's held back by an unbalanced Story mode and laggy online play.
  7. Diehard Naruto fans might find a little joy in taking their favorite characters into the ring (again), but the payoff for the effort of trudging through Story mode is adequate at best.

The versus mode is great, the extras are awesome, and the characters in the game are really balanced. I'm not a fan of the Story mode, because it only features one arc and is basically imbalanced... Overall its really worth a try and you should buy it. Expand

    I have owned each Clash of Ninja game from the GC on, i thought CON revolution 2 was really good, but the third tim eis actually the best I have owned each Clash of Ninja game from the GC on, i thought CON revolution 2 was really good, but the third tim eis actually the best one, mostly because of the tweaks in the gameplay, better graphic effects, and the sheer variety it has in characters. The best part though, is the online functionality, which has very, very little to no lag. I recommend this to fighting game fans and Naruto fans alike, as the gameplay is king in this iteration of the series! Expand

    Great game with a very hard and challenging story mode (which is honestly very fulfilling when you finish it)
    -Amazing cast of characters
    Great game with a very hard and challenging story mode (which is honestly very fulfilling when you finish it)
    -Amazing cast of characters though I wish the Hokages where included instead of random anbu. That being said the characters all have very fun and different playstyles and it is nice that there are a nice unique cast of characters that cannot be found in any other game
    -Its a much better game than any other Naruto game such as the Storm series, or the Ubisoft Naruto games
    - I like the fact that you start with 9 characters and have to unlock the rest, it took me a whole day to beat story mode and another whole day to unlock Bando(make sure to use the Orochimaru combo to earn coins)
    -There is a mission system which can be challenging but very fun
    -This game is a competitive fighting game with a fun and true to anime story mode while also being easy enough and fun to play casually with family or friends

    Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III is the best game in this series BY FAR! The story takes place between the beginning ShippudenNaruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III is the best game in this series BY FAR! The story takes place between the beginning Shippuden Arcs (no spoilers cuz Shippuden is still the latest part to naruto). Oh man what a thrilling way this game tells a story. From the beginning to the end you would want to dive in head first, ass out to the compelling story telling and mechanics. And the mechanics... what an upgrade! Everyone, EVERYONE gets a new moveset along with a change of controls which is reasonable. The multiplayer experience is far funner and more hectic than any of the previous titles combined. You would want to keep playing over and over for its awesome replayablity. Also, this game is the first in the series to have an online mode! So far is jack **** Connection between two players gives you at least 1-2 button delay and 4 player online battles are just terrible. But if you exclude ever visiting the online aspects of the game, this is must buy for anyone picking up a Naruto game for the Wii. Expand
