Naruto: Ninja Council 2 Reviews

"Although it does little to improve upon the original gameplay wise. This game still proves to be an exciting Naruto experince"

I have played Naruto Ninja Council 2 in Japanese and I must say it was a true Naruto experience. This sequel improves many things that where sought as mediocre from the first game. However, I bet your wondering why I gave it a 8 and not a 10? well read on with the rest of my review.

Story 6.5/10
The story is a replication of the chunniun exams. Which was pretty pointless to begin with but that's just my opinion. At least this game is better then the story of the first game which included many plot holes. If you watched the TV show or just read the manga then there is really no need to focus on the story so I give it a 6.5/10.

Game play 8/10
The game play has had it's minor tweaks in the sequel. Now jutsu's are preformed by using button mashing combinations instead of the chakra meter in the first game. Also the game allows you to switch between Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto with the push of a button. Plat forming is not as important in this game as it was in the first now it's about fighting! minor tweaks in the game play score an 8/10.

Graphics 8/10
The graphics of the game have vastly improved over the first game. Character models actually look like the character that they are supposed to be. Backgrounds have vastly improved as well and look gorgeous. If your one of those people who focus on graphics more then game play you should defiantly pick this title up! This scores a 8/10 easily.

Sound 7/10
Sound in this game is okay. There is nothing that will make you say OMG that is awesome. It's just average sound for a game boy game. Nothing to special hear so it gets a 7/10.

Replay value 7/10
Naruto fans will want to play this game over and over again to make sure they create a 100% file. Non-fans however, might not want to give this game a second go.

Overall
Naruto Ninja council 2 is a great sequel that improves over the first in a variety of ways. So if you hated the first game this might be the way to go!
