This game was unexpectedly good. All the other Naruto games have been strictly fighting games and thus lack luster. But this one gives you adventure and fighting. It follows through the anime adventure story line, up to the fight between Naruto and Gaara during the Chunin Exam. The controls are easy enough for most kids and yet its still fun for older players. The exploration is vast and even some of the small side missions that allow you to "level up" your ninja skills are entertaining. There's something for every kind of gamer. Buy this game, and Rise as a Ninja.
