Naruto Shippuuden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX

The fifth Naruto GNT game graduates to the Wii after strong and reliable sales on the Gamecube. Taking place in the second Naruto series subtitled Shippūden (Hurricane Chronicles), Naruto and Sakura involve themselves in new intrigues and adventures while looking for their teammate, Sasuke.

Play mechanics and attacks on screen look very much like the action sequences from the earlier Naruto GNT games but player-side input has changed radically. Grasp the Wii remote with one hand and the Nunchuk in the other and get ready to shake, slice, wag, and wave the Wiimote like a genin possessed. You'll also perform windmills with both controllers to unleash powerful Rasengan attacks on opponents. It's all very kinetic, frenetic, and outright loony. Characters who appear in the game include Deidara, Gaara, Kankuro, Itachi Uchiha, Neji Hyuga, Rock Lee, Sasori, Temari, and many more. Up to four players may join in the action for an all-out battle royale or a solo gamer may go through the story mode to beat back fighters in one-on-one bouts. Interactive battlefield objects such as tree trunks and barrels may be used to hide, climb upon, or used as jumping points to launch fevered attacks. «more»
