    Can't get enough ninjas? Naruto's latest fighting game is now on the Wii. Believe it! Read more

    • It looks and sounds like Naruto ; easy to pick up and play; fun multiplayer.
    • The fighting engine is simplistic; not much variety in gameplay modes; no online play.

    Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is a North American Wii exclusive title, and will include characters that have never been featured in the Clash of Ninja game series. Read more

    Overall, I enjoyed playing Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution. Sure, it's not a big deviation from the Clash of Ninja franchise formula, but I can appreciate it for what it's worth: a good time. Read more

    As I said in my review for Naruto: Path of the Ninja for Nintendo DS , Christmas ’07 belongs to the little ninja that could. He has no less than three games bearing his name on shelves this shopping season, so needless to... Read more

    When it comes to how Revolution sounds, it's pretty good. While I do miss Clash of Ninja 2's menu music [as CoNR's just doesn't feel the same, and not to mention Sakura voices the selections this time], the rock riffs in the... Read more

    Despite the lack of ambition, with a great fighting system that never gets boring, Naruto provides fast and furious fights, making it one of the best fighters available for the Wii, even if you’re not a Naruto fan. Read more

    • Fast, brutal and fun fighting, Easy to pick up, yet somewhat deep, Good roster, Cool arena transitions
    • Not much different from before, No 16:9, Annoying English voices, Poor use of Wii’s controllers

    Ninjas may indeed clash, but this is hardly a revolution. Read more

    • Wii Remote and Nunchuck controls aren't useless, GameCube and Classic Controller support, Four player simultaneous multiplayer, Text-box cut cenes can be skipped
    • Extremely similar to Clash of Ninja 2, Visuals haven't been upgraded since the first game, Endless text boxes

    The squad-based tactical strategy game has evolved into an all new monster. Ubisoft and the Ghost Recon series have always pushed the concept of relying on your squad for survival in the virtual arena. Read more

    In its translation from Japan to the US, Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution has had all of its potentially unique characteristics sanded down smooth, leaving a game that is more reminiscent of its predecessors than it should Read more

    • Easy to pick up, Plenty of recognizable Naruto characters, Loads of control options.
    • Aggressively reuses old Clash of Ninja content, Most control options are kind of clunky, Gameplay options are lazy.

    Reviewer: Shikamaru, Bestbuy
    22 September 2011

    This game is pretty fun to play. For such a basic control setup, some fairly complex strategies can be developed. All in all, it's a good representation of Naruto and you won't regret the purchase, just make sure you have... Read more

    • Easy to pick up, fun to play.
    • Cast could easily be much larger. Kiva and Choji are sidelined.

  2. Decent multiplayer fighter for the Wii

    Reviewer: Terrell, Amazon
    5 January 2012 See Product at Amazon ($15.99)

    The interest in playtime will vary from person to person. I personally bought it because at the time it was only $10, and I needed games for my wii. I didn't play it too much. I tried the story mode out. Read more or see product

  3. Good for the kids

    Reviewer: CKD, Newegg
    27 December 2007

    Fun game for kids! It really helps if you're a Naruto fan, otherwise the game might come across as a lower grade fighting game once the Wii novelty wears off. Read more

    • Easy controls, and fun to interact with the Wii. My kids really enjoyed it, and so did I! Better than just mashing buttons, you actually get to play kung fu master as you swing the Wii remote to attack!
    • More or less a button masher, not a lot of technique. Replayability may get old after owning it a while.

  4. Not a bad buy

    • Challenging, Easy to learn, Fun To Play, Graphics, Kid Appropriate, Multiplayer

    Best avoided everyone - what is frankly the worst fighting game on the Wii. It features lots of character with disappointing power-ups!! and you use the various input devices to little or no real affect. Read more

  6. Enjoyable for fans

    fans of the show will like it but it gets boring once youve unlocked everything Read more

    • Quite fun and the unlockables keep you playing for a while
    • Once you're done you're done

The Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution is somehow known as the most anticipated awaited game in the year 2007. Be it the fact that its title itself was bound to attract many ninja maniac players. Of all the Naruto games, this one is certainly the most exciting one up-to-date. The original version of this game which is based in Japan was unrecognized and unknown to audiences in the US and the rest of the world. So, this version is set in a way that audiences anywhere can relate and be familiar to it. But it definitely sticks to the Clash of Ninja formula. When it comes to the usual Ninja fighting style, this game does not disappoint. Several modes are available to choose from, not boring its players from the usual and arcade-based fight. Proceeding to the game by choosing your favorite character and doing your best to beat up your opponents or letting them beat you. The character mode enables you to go through a dozen battles by picking up your favorite character. Though after playing around with the modes for some time, you might notice that they are similar. Using the Wii-mote and the Nunchuk enable players to try out different styles on their screen which brings a lively experience to them. Overall, this game is a must for Ninja fans as it tends not to disappoint.
