This game is a failry easy game to pick up and play. The gameplay is very simple. In the game you can use several techniques as Naruto. To attack using regular punches and kicks is just pressing square. TO use Naruto technique you press and hold to charge up the R1 button for Shadow Clone Jutsu, R2 for Power Strike (also known as Rasengan), and R1 and R2 together for sexy jutsu. This is the basic gameplay as Naruto. In the game you use a system called skill plates. In this system you can put geometric shapes in an amount of space given to you and these geometric shapes can give you boost ranging from more maximum health, to learning Naruto's Barrage, to making extra Shadow Clone appear. When you fill an entire skill plate you get a bonus depending on what the plate is most focused on. The game allows you to make teams during certain missions at first you can pick Sasuke, Shikimaru, Neji , and Choji. If you beat the game once however, you will be able to pick Kakashi and Garaa to be on your team. You switch between these characters and you can only play as them as long as their chakra keeps up. So far you don't get to play as Rock Lee which really bumed me out :( , but this isn't about me. Now as I was saying you get to pick characters for a team. each of these characters have two techniques that they can use; Kakashi can use Chidori and Thousand Years of Pain, Garaa can use Sand Coffin and Sand Wall, Sasuke can use Chidori and Phoenix Flower Jutsu, Neji can use 8 Trigrams 64 Palms and Rotation, Choji can use Human Boulder and Partial Expansion Jutsu, Shikamaru can use Trap Kunai and Shadow Possesion Jutsu. The reason I think that this game has really good graphics is I have to give credit for the few scenes where everything just looks insanely realistic. At these scenes it feels like I am watching a movie. SO because of those rare moments I HAVE to give it a 10 in graphics. The game revolves around the missions that you recieve. These missions make up the bulk of the game. The missions are kinda repetitive at some points where you have to deliver something whether it is goods or a prisoner. During these delivery missions you basically get attacked by some people until you reach your destination. There are other more complicated missions, but I am not going to explain that here. The boss battles in this game are all pretty easy if not annoyingly long. In each boss battle you have some ninja or some monster and then they have way more life then you and you can beat them by basically hitting them with the square button combo until they die. I reccommend this game to any fan who is looking for a good naruto adventure game. This is an overall solid game for me. The only thing that bugged me is the repititive combos.

Overall I found it to be a very good game. About the first two or three missions are really easy but once you get to the C-Rank missions there is a large gap in difficulty. There was also the problem of many opponents at... Read Full Review
