========= Story ========= The game covers the events after the fight with Mizuki and ends with the Wave Mission Arc. The game also takes a lot of liberty with the story to say the least and probably will upset people with some of the changes that were made. ========= Gameplay ========= Combat is rather quick, but intense in this game. But, sadly the combat in this game is about as shallow as a kiddie pool. The combat is largely focused around the A button, B button, and triggers. These simple controls do open up for a few combo attacks, but you can get through the game with just using the most basic of attack combos relentlessly. The amount of button mashing you'll do leave you bored with the game after an hour or so.
Probably the second biggest problem with the game is the lack of character options. There are only 10 characters in total in this game with 3 of them needing to be unlocked. And two of the unlockable characters are simply variations of characters that you start with. ========= Graphics ========= Graphically speaking the game is pretty solid with the characters having a traditional cell-shaded look. The environments for the various arenas stand out and some of them having moving objects in the background. ========= Sound ========= The game features a lot of traditional tracks from the show, but many of them are rather low-key and don't pop out at you. ========= Lasting Appeal ========= The game does feature a few unlockable characters, ninja files, and character portraits. So, there are some things you can work towards after beating the short story mode if you enjoy the game. ========= Scores ========= Story: 3 Gameplay: 6 Graphics: 7 Sound: 8 Lasting Appeal: 3 Overall: 5.25

Naruto is a beloved character from the manga series and with this being one of the first in the series it has disopointment with the fact that its character seletion is so short, even with the hidden 9-tails naruto and sharingan kakashi the game only comes out to 10 characters. The story mode is also disappointing in that it can be easily beatin in one sit down. However the game isn't all bad, in that it does bring out the true nature of the world of naruto. The fighting is smooth and versus is great for having a friend over. Overall I would say if your a fan of Naruto it's worth buying used, it's a great play if you have a friend to play the versus the mode with! Happy Mashing!

Why Did I Buy This?

I Think This Game Is The Worst Gamecube Game I Have Ever Seen! At First Glance Graphics Are Sound Not The Best But Not Too Bad. But Only 7 Fighters,That And The Fact That The Attacks And Combos Are Almost The Same Makes This The Worst Games I Have Played.PS:Rock Lee Is Way Over Powered And Exetrmely Hard To Beat In Most Cases,His Attacks Are At Least 30% More Powerful.
The game is great! I love it, because I am a die hard Naruto fan, but, however it needs many more characters! Only 8 characters! How dissapointing, considiring the fact of how many Naruto characters there are! Gameplay and graphics are okay, though, so I'm giving it a solid 7.
