Naruto: Ninja Way

Naruto: Ninja Way is a fighting platformer that is built on the famous manga series. In this game you will be playing as Naruto and many other characters in multiple game modes. There are no adventure and mission modes available but you will be able to kick ass in ‘Duel’, ‘Endurance’ and ‘Great Clash’.

Naruto: Ninja Way has been around for a rather large number of years and in the time since its release, it has received little to no attention. Playing it today, you'll probably be disappointed by the lack of a full screen option. By default, the game runs in a very small window compared to today's resolutions which makes the characters way too small to be able to perfectly enjoy the game.

It’s still a nice experience but it can be tiring to play a Great Clash match in which you fight against three CPUs, barely making sense of what’s going on.

If you’re willing to get passed the small playing surface, Naruto: Ninja Way won’t disappoint. You get to play Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi, Rock Lee and others, each depicted with their unique set of skills.

As far as controls go, you have a small number of keys which you’ll be using and they can be configured to suit your style and since Naruto: Ninja Way comes with both singleplayer and multiplayer modes that’s more than welcome.

Compared to other fighting games, Naruto: Ninja Way is really fast when it comes to character on-screen motion and moves. Response time between your keyboard commands and game delivery is instant so you need a bit of practice to hit every key exactly how you want in order to obtain some great combos.

To sum things up, Naruto: Ninja Way has its fair share of setbacks but if you’re looking for a fun fighting platformer to pass some time, then you can definitely try this one.
