    System:Wii
    Developer:Eighting
    Publisher:D3 Publisher and TOMY
    Genre:Fighting
    Players:1-4

    Opening
    Yup, the fourth installment to the clash of ninja series yet it may not be perfect(even though no game on the wii is) its probally the probally best out there so far, but thats just my opinion. This game tons of your favorite characters from the series, and some new ones too.

    Plot
    Ok not the most original story out there but its ok, its about a rouge ninja named kagara that stole a scroll from the hidden leaf village. It has a jutsu that makes everyone in the village attack each other for no reason. Since naruto, gaara, and kakashi wasnt affected, they have to go around the whole village and beat the hell out of their fellow ninja. The only thing that keeps this plot interesting is the kagara is revealed that she used to be a former apprentice of tsunade, but other than that the story is pretty weak compared to the actual series.

    Gameplay
    The gameplay is pretty awesome, but pretty repetitive in a way. How each match works is you have attack other with combos, then after your chakra bar hits full or most way, you can preform a jutsu, each character has 2-7 jutsus. The only way to use a jutsu perfectly is to hit your opponent with it such as naruto's headubtt, to sasuke's kick. This game has 35 different characters with their own different combos, its not confirmed which combo's the best, but there are sure some better the others, such as kyuubi naruto for starters. This game also has different modes such as story mode which I already explained, Versus mode which contains player vs player, player vs CPU, "multi match" or 4 player FFA, and tag team battle which lets certain characters do team jutsus, and naruto fans not to break your spirits or nothing but naruto and sasuke dont have a team jutsu together in this game. Anyways, another mode is mission mode which helps you unlock characters. The last major fighting mode is probally kumite mode which is about you fighting a bunch of rouge ninja whering shitty aubu masks. Theres also a bunch of other mode like extras that lets you listen to music and voices, plus lets you see your statistics such as your mission completion percentage which will be VERY useful later, and last but not least the options, which lets you adjust the difficulty, number of rounds, and other stuff you expect. Now lets talk about the controls, the controllers depends on the way you play the game. The gamecube controller lets you do combos with ease, the wii controller is a little hard to control, especially with combos, running, and backfliping. The wii controller lets you 3 things, hand signs, aiming tagged kunai, and jutsu boosting, all of them are not worth it. What hand signs are suspossed to do is boost your chakra by moving your wii controller left, down, then right which is way harder than it looks, you gotta do jaraiya's tutorial to know what im talking about also the thing about it is if you manage to do it right, it barely boost your chakra, you're better off aiming a combo for chakra. Aiming tagged kunai isnt as easy or fun as it seems, plus with the gamecube controller, you can just throw a kunai easily with the gamecube controller, also it has the crappiest wii cursor I ever seen, it was suspossed to be a beta cursor, but I guess not. And jutsu booster, everytime you do a jutsu, you got these little thing at the bottom of the screen telling you how to do the jutsu, do em' right, then your jutsu does more damage, but barely. Lastly theres the scene changes, where if you punch an enemy at the right place or throw a tagged kunai at them, they'll be sent flying to the second part of the stage, during the vunrable part, you can attack them in the middle of the air, bunch you have to press 1 of your 4 buttons if you hit, you can do some big damage, but you can miss if your opponent hits the same button you hit so you got a 75% of hitting, but the downfall of tthis is tthe scene change take way to long, and they get repetitive real quick. Also this game got a whole bunch of minor glitches.

    Graphics
    The graphics better than most naruto game out the, think of the DBZ:BT series, but naruto styled, theirs alot of stuff that reminds you of dbz such as naruto's rasengan, and the transformations. Also this game got 3D backgrounds contained with forests, giant animals, and village buildings, nothing inside or outside the arena effect you gameplay besides rocks and boxes, but its nice to look at sometimes. Plus its got graphics from attacks effects and preforming jutsus. Everything on the game has some extra effect from every attack you do to anything you select, but hey if they didn't have those effects, this game would probally get boring easy.

    Audio/Voices
    Now I know what you're thinking, you naruto haters might be thinking of naruto's overused "Believe it!" phrase. BUT no hes says something even MORE annoying, "Im all fired up and ready to go!" has ruined the game for me, geez it sounds like he came back from watching something retarded like kung fu panda. Everyone else sounds pretty good game, except the newest characters expecially the custom characters. Anyways, this music is good as always, except the that one level on the ramen shop at night which sounds really chill for a second, but if you do a scene change, the next arena has the creepiest music in the entire game.

    Replay Value
    The gameplay maybe fun but its short. You could probally unlock everything in less than 5 days, if you played a game before this and good at it, it'll probally be less than 2 days. This game coulda been added way more in this game but since the companies that helped make this are either new and/or unpopular, they're probally too poor to pay the voice actors. And the gameplay probally get really old since this game has NO ONLINE PLAY, so if you get 3 others friends this game probally last you for a while, or at least until you get another game.

    Comparasion
    Compared to the other 3 games...ya see the first game could last for less than a day if you arent a fan of the fighting system, the second game could last for 2 weeks, the third game could last for 2 days, the fourth 3 days. If you compare it to the popular nintendo fighter, super smash bros. you'll see the unimpressive character shortage, since SSB64 had 12 characters, NCoN1 had 10 characters, SSBB has 39 characters, while NCoNR2 has 35. So its a little shortage even though they dont add dead characters from the series even if they are in that arc, but like I said you have to love the fighting system to love this game.

    Ending
    Yeah I know, some of yall may call me gay for liking this game but somebody has to. This game could be better if they added a little more characters, some extra modes plus a little twists besides the weak story mode. But unfotunally is as disapointing as every other wii sequal, but dont get me wrong this is a great game.
