Naruto: Ninja Council 2 European Version

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A decent selection of playable characters to choose from. There are over 20 characters you can use in levels.
 * 2) Extremely fun gameplay similar to Super Mario Bros.
 * 3) Extremely tight and responsive controls.
 * 4) Awesome soundtrack that consists of many punk rock songs.
 * 5) The story follows the Sasuke Retrieval arc really well.
 * 6) Very unique level designs. One level has you snowboarding, another has you traveling through Orochimaru’s lair while occasionally, your controls will be inverted, making it a fun challenge.
 * 7) Really nice graphics.
 * 8) Extremely fun boss fights that are reminicent of Jump Super Stars.
 * 9) Each character plays rather uniquely.
 * 10) Before you move on to the next level, you can play a touchscreen based minigame. Completing it will lower the boss fight’s health.
 * 11) There is even a doodle mode where you can doodle the Hokage faces.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Not much replay value.
 * 2) The final Orochimaru boss fight is extremely hard.
