4 out of 5 starsScore: 80/100
Naruto:Rise of a Ninja tells the story of about the first 80 episodes of the extremely popular anime.

You take control of series hero Naruto Uzumaki and do all sorts of missions and mini-games from the Naruto Universe.

The graphics are surprisingly good for a Naruto game and everything in the whole of Konoha (Narutos home town of which you can explore) looks natural and vibrant, outside the city walls is a vast countryside full of old building and secrets to find, the outside levels are also more like platformers, some reveiwers have criticised this however i think it is good because it adds a whole different way of playing the game.

When you are sent into a fight it automaticly goes into a fighting game style 1on1 matchup between you add your oppenent, there is also a fight mode where you are able to pick the character you want to play as out of a roster of 10 and then play as them in either an online mode (Which i don't have) a tournement mode, or a single match mode.

Overall Naruto:Rise of a Ninja is an enjoyble game and probably the best in the Naruto game franchise yet! 4 STARS!
