I have been through watching the complete anime series of Naruto. It was interesting to find that they have made it into a video game. The game style is like any simple RPGs (role playing games). With every level, your character's stats will increase and will be able to learn new tricks, new moves and new abilities similar with its anime series. This is what any common RPG is all about. You start from scratch then as the game progresses you will get stronger.



Although the game is nice and is very interesting, it is sometimes a displeasing thought that the developers did not re-animate or include some scenes in similar ways as that of the original series. The game can be finished around 10 hours for expert players and may even take 15-20 hours for beginners. This is something that I find lazy for the developers because having this short kind of game; they should have added CGIs to make the game even more enjoyable.

Overall, the game is fun as I went through it. They have impressed me with their graphics and the story lines are quite stunning. The voices they have used to voice over even are I could consider as top-class in what you call the basic anime series collection. However if you watch the game closely, you will really see one obvious loophole that may seem irritatingly funny is the way the characters talk without moving their mouth.

If I was one of the developers of this game, I could have included many things to improve this game and try it on out first before releasing them on public. It could have been an excellent video game if they have animated all the things aside from the basic movement of walking, running, jumping and mute talking (the funny voice over).

The game style is also that of the anime series. It involves a series of mission very much alike with the television series. You need to get to a certain location, say location X then will go to location Y, after this you need to go back to location X and this cycle is a vicious cycle. This cycle repeats for about four to five times before getting back on the right story track. Well, perhaps this isn't the worst case scenario. Some games could even you more ridiculous and irritating features than this one which I find sometimes the same bottom line of video games.

Each time the mission is done though you will be able to teleport from your current location to leaf village which I find nice because it saves you time from traveling here and there. Whatever I find ridiculous and lacking features of this game, I can still say that the game is actually pleasing and enjoying as I walked through it. Since it is only a short lived game, I find this very interesting. Should it have continued for more than the time I expected, then perhaps that's another story. I suggest you watch the whole Naruto anime series before sacking this one. Believe me, the series will really help a lot.
