Naruto: Ninja Destiny :: DS Game Review

Courtesy of D3
Naruto and the gang from the hit anime and manga series are on the Nintendo DS in a brand-new 3D fighting game! Naruto: Ninja Destiny lets you control 16 of your favorite ninja warriors in wicked battles through a huge chunk of the Naruto story and more. But does all the intense battle action make an awesome game or is it awful? Find out with our game review.
Ninja Battle Basics
Grab your favorite
Naruto character and fight! You can either unleash
Jutsu in the story mode, which lets you
unlock more characters as you battle through about 100 episodes of the
Naruto TV show. Or multiplayer lets you challenge a friend to a showdown with any two characters. The buttons control the battle moves but the touch screen fills up with random power-ups you can activate with a quick tap to mix things up a bit.
Ultimate Ninja Awesomeness
Sixteen
ninja warriors ready to battle on eight different levels: does it get sweeter? The 3D graphics are great too. Everything is super smooth and the details are awesome! It's especially sweet when you unleash
super-huge moves and clobber your opponent. The
power-ups are a nice touch too, giving each battle some random fun.
Failing Grades
Taking a page from
Dragon Ball Z Sagas, there's an easy
one-two combo that can defeat almost any opponent. Lame! The only other problems are that a few ninjas are stronger than others and that you need
two copies of the game to play
multiplayer. C'mon folks, where's the download fun?
Do You Believe it?
With
incredible 3D graphics, fast battles and
awesome super attacks, this game is a blast! Some unbalanced characters and
repetitive moves are a pain. But the action is still
awesome fun, even for people who don't know who
Naruto is!
Thumbs Up:
Multiplayer ninja battles!
Awesome power attacks.
16 characters to unlock and control.
Random power-ups for each battle.
Thumbs Down:
Power attacks make winning battles too easy.
Two copies for multiplayer? Aww...
Some characters are way stronger than others.
