  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.

    Although some gamers might be turned off by Revolution 3's 3D arena and its lack of advanced move inputs, the amount of skill required to effectively time moves and anticipate oncoming attacks is impressive. Wii owners -- especially the Wii-owning Naruto fans -- will be happy to have this in their collection.

    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.
  4. It's a excellent game for those who have never played the Naruto Clash of Ninja fighting series.
  5. 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.
  6. For those who have never played the Naruto Clash of Ninja fighting game series, start with this one. It’s got 40 characters, a slick fighting system, tons of unlockables, and online combat for the first time. Longtime fans might be wary of the game, however, as this is the fifth game in the series in four years.

    It is a good follow-up to the series, with a more refined combat, good visuals that excel in combat, and a very interesting story mode.

    Like its predecessors, Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is good fun--the fighting is fast-paced and has easy-to-learn controls--especially when playing against your friends. [Holiday 2009, p.88]
  9. Thanks to its solid fighting system, large roster, and plentiful play modes, Clash of Ninja Revolution III ranks as one of the better brawlers on Wii.
  10. Naruto's back once again and this time he wants to stay with Wii users. Clash of Ninja Revolution 3's basically the same game that we received last year, adding a brand-new online feature and a lame story mode. Its a 'sold' title for the fans, but just an interesting one for those who are looking for some fun.
  11. 75
    Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution is proof the Wii has some nice fighting games.
  12. 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.
  13. Even if Naruto Shippuden: Clash Of Ninja Revolution 3 is really similar to the previous chapter (enough to discourage a lot of players), is still one of the best Beat'em up on the wii.

    Naruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is a fantastic game with a whole lot of characters. The versus mode is great, the extras are awesome, andNaruto Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 is a fantastic game with a whole lot of characters. 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. Full Review »

    I was doutbful about this game, because I have played the other Clash of Ninja and didn't convince me, instead I prefer Gekitou Ninja I was doutbful about this game, because I have played the other Clash of Ninja and didn't convince me, instead I prefer Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX 3. But I bought it and for my surprise this game was really good. Excellent graphics, good characters, interesting story (just shippuden), nice animation, even power in characters and the most important; excellent wi-fi fights. I mean, there are a lot of opponents, few lags in the connection and easy to get. Of course is not a perfect game, but you can try it and enjoy a good time. Full Review »

    Llegaron los primeros personajes de Shippuden y con ellos la historia, con la que yo me inicié en esta segunda parte de Naruto. Brillante.
