The uber-popular Naruto Uzumaki and his ninja friends have arrived on the Nintendo Wii with the Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution! It's a four-player fighting game that lets you play as the ninjas from the anime. Is the game a crazy fun pile of screaming ninja fun or just a screaming pile? Find out with our Naruto game review.

Unleashing Your Inner Ninja!

Clash of Ninja Revolution is basically a simple fighting game with a whole bunch of ninjas and different ways to control them as they beat the tar out of each other. Everybody gets different basic attacks and, when you build up enough Chakra, special Jutsu moves you can unleash to really knock your opponent around - even into a new fighting area! There are also multiplayer modes that let up to four people join the fun as well as some mini-games you can check out.

Powerful Attacks and Intense Jutsu Moves

It takes about eight seconds for a new player to start unleashing wicked ninja moves! Once you get rolling you can unlock and play more than 20 characters, from Might Guy to some of the really weird ninjas who only appear later in the anime. It gives you a great selection for multiplayer beatdowns, which are the way to go with this game!

Button-Mashing Mania!

It's easy to pick up and button-mash, but mastering this ninja game is hard because of all the weird control modes. Once you get past that, and the weak mini-games, you're into the good stuff.

Final Grade

This game is a great way to take control of the cool Naruto ninjas and kick some butt! There's lots to do, classic characters, big multiplayer battles and massive jutsu attacks. It helps to be a Naruto fan so you know who everybody is. The game is a blast and it gets better with more players so grab a copy and invite your friends over.
