4.0 out of 5 stars Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles........, December 3, 2006

This review is from: Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles (Video Game)

As much as I liked Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, my feelings are mixed at best with Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles. While the game looks absolutely stunning, the gameplay is quite fun and the developer who made the game made good use of the license; something just doesn't quite feel right about it. Given- it does take a fresh approach to things that other anime licenses should follow in their games and that's a good thing..yet it could've used a little more, how shall we say, personality and drama like the anime takes. It would've been nice to see things more fleshed out and, if this series should continue, that is something the developers can correct next game. See, players start the game by receiving "D" and "C" class missions and work their way up from there. Missions are what make up the game and, when there isn't much of a story for the reason why you're doing what you're doing, it doesn't really validate why you're doing what you're doing so you end up not feeling like you've accomplished anything but fighting endless waves of baddies and completing tasks required of you as Naruto or one of his cast. Players can modify a "Skill Plate" by earning a form of currency, known as "Virtue", and buying new abilities which helps the game out quite a bit.

Overall, Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles isn't a bad game. Like any other game, it has its' flaws. It's definitely a game any Naruto fan should check out. It plays like a 3-D Final Fight. But, be warned, it is a fairly short game so don't come into it expecting a length as something such as Grand Theft Auto or a game of that nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Naruto Review, December 26, 2006

A Kid's Review

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles (Video Game)

This game has many positive sides to it, as well as the 3d environments and second-hand characters available for use. With many of the 25 missions, they are pretty challenging and that's what I like..challenging missions. With the awesome effects of the actual environmental movement and enemies randomly spawning to attack you, it's gotta be a good game to me. That's why I got the game, and enjoyed it very much! This game has all the good parts to it at full perfection. Make more! Because, if this was just the cream of the crop, I want to see the next line of awesomeness. With the very good sides to this game, I will probably enjoy all the next games if they are made. I mean, this game really dragged me. It was the best Naruto game I've played for a LONG time, other than that, please..please..bring in the next line of Naruto gaming. Thank you!

if you expect to see some content in this game, DO NOT get this game. and WARNING. this game is not the same as what you see in its trailers online. this game was originally made in japan. the most important portions of its original content have been modified for the US version. all the super cool characters and storylines have been cut out to avoid spoiler for its TV episodes.
i first thought this game would take weeks to finish. but it only took me 5 days!!!!!! unbelievably ridiculous.
