ninja destiny 2 (shippuden) is confirmed!
This was a good start for a naruto DS game, you get 13+ characters including Orichimaru, Jiraya, and Tsunade! I'd give it an 8.4 for good graphics, better and faster because of the U.S. with a little juice added to the game play. But I heard that TOMY is making an ninja destiny 2 and I think that they would make it an heck of a lot better with an longer adventure mode (including the sasuke retrival arc. to the shippuden arc.). I would want them to add more characters, like the europeon version did, with Asuma, Kenuri, Ten Ten, Kiba, Ino, Hinata, Kankuro, Shino, choji, the sound five (added for the first time), the five hokages, Iruka, granny chiyo, old sasori, also 2 attacks for each character, a tag team mode would also be incredible! I just want TOMY to make a bigger, and better game next time....

No title
I pretty much breezed through story mode,so I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.There are 16 playable characters.
Naruto,Sakura,Sasuke(chunin exam outfit),Kakashi,Lee, Neji, Gaara, Temari, Gai, Tsunade, Jiriaya, Orochimaru, Itachi,Kyuubi Naruto, and CS2 Sasuke are the playable characters.

well....
It was fun for some time, but than it got EXTEAMLY boring, the graphics DO NOT have naruto game standards, and i think it was a waste of money, i wouldnt recommened this game to anyone, sorry

this game is good however..
their missing some features that would make the gamem even awsomer. Maybe they could make the graphics a little better. And maybe they would need more characters and the most important thing of all wi-fi mode. It's a really good game you should bye it. Just needs all the characters from gekito ninja taisen 4 and the wi-fi mode. Also more stages to choose from And a harder single player would make it a extremely better must bye game. That is what i expect from shinobi retsuden 2 (if they make one cause right now all it is is a rumor)

Good game a bit rushed though
I got this game for christmas and completed story mode within 45mins. The combos aren't as flexible as Gekitou Ninja Taisen (you can't combo into specials) and the sound quality is kinda bad BUT..The game has a fair amount of characters, the side shifting system is better than GNT (IMO) and the fact that you can teleport behind opponets for little chakra at any point (not kawarimi teleports) makes for some good battles. Kawarimi is also added in this game but uses more chakra than a regular teleport. If more time was spent on this game I'm sure it would have been so much better.

Overall I give it 3 stars but this is partially because I'm a fan of Naruto. Non-fans won't really enjoy this game and would be better with Bleach DS or Jump Ultimate Stars.
