The game was pretty fun but kind of frustrating because sometimes you didn't know where to go. The Game was a bit short.

I picked up this game expecting something like Path of Ninja 2, which was great but short. It's not, it's much more of an action adventure game, which isn't a bad thing.

Pros;
I've only been able to get to the part with Garra, but after the prologue, you can choose which character you want to play as for the most part.
Lots of exploration.
The fighting is a bit of fun for certain characters.

Cons;
The backgrounds are boring and flavorless.
You MUST start the game with Naurto.
The character sprites are inconsistent; Sakura's gloves go from full length to fingerless based on what move you are doing.
Only one female character can be played as a main (not support) avatar, that would be Sakura.
The game is glitchy. I can't get Garra to wall run in a certain area, and it has totally prohibited any progress past stage 2 for me.
Characters like Garra are sooooo slow, and Neji has a short range, yet they all take off the same damage!
The save system is horrible; the stages are long and if you die, you go right back to the very beginning.
Even with the top screen acting as a map to show you where you can do a wall run, it doesn't show enough to see if you jump down, whether or not you will die.
The music is a bit irritating.
Horrible level design.

I wish I could get further, because I really enjoy playing as Sakura and Neji, but I keep dying with Garra! If you are a Naruto fan, wait until the price goes down to $[...]! But stay FAR AWAY if you don't like or are not familiar with the Naruto series!!!
