Each installment of the series has had numerous methods of play with varying types of modes. New games have introduced additional modes that appear in subsequent games. The player directly controls a character taken from theNarutoseries, and uses their unique abilities to battle and defeat an opponent. New games in the series include more of theNarutoplotline in a story mode, and it tends to stay true to the source material. As a result, the character selection generally increases with each installment due to the inclusion of more of theNarutoplotline, with some exceptions. With the finalRevolutiongame and the entireEXseries incorporatingNaruto: Shippūden,the second part of theNarutoseries, many of the characters have been substantially redesigned, and the selection correspondingly limited. Reactions to early installments were mixed, while later titles have been received more positively, with many praising the simple and easy-to-learn fighting system[2]while others lambasting the fighting system, and the lack of significant unlockable content.
Gameplay
editIn each game of the series, the player controls one of many characters directly based on their counterparts in theNarutoanime and manga. As in practically allfighting games,the player then pits their character against another character controlled by the game'sAIor by another player, depending on the mode that the player is in. The objective of each game is to reduce the opponent'shealthto zero using basic attacks and special techniques unique to each character that are derived from the source material. For instance,Naruto Uzumakican use his signature Shadow Clone Jutsu,(Ảnh phân thân の thuật,Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,English manga: "Art of the Shadow Doppelganger" )andRock Leeutilizes many of his Strong Fist style techniques.[3]Characters have available a chakra bar, which depletes upon the execution of a special technique. Each game in the series also possesses numerous modes that offer different styles of play. The game's story mode follows the plot from the anime and manga, with a versus mode pitting two players against each other also included. Each game in the series adds new modes, as well as incorporating new features into the game. Early games feature unlocking characters by using a Shop and obtaining money in fights. Most of the games feature an 'Omake' bonus section which contains music, sound effects, and character models. All games in both Wii series take advantage of theWii Remote's versatility andmotion controls,as well as the console'sbackwards compatibility,to provide multiple control schemes, allowing players to perform gestures to execute certain attacks with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, or use traditional pad controls with the Wii Remote held sideways, theClassic Controlleror theGameCube controller.[4]

Reception
editClash of Ninjahas received mixed reactions from critics.Metacritic,a website that compiles scores from numerousvideo game publications,gaveClash of Ninjaa 72/100.[40]IGNlauded the game's battle system as "very balanced, amazingly quick, and still a lot of fun."[2]In addition, IGN commented onClash of Ninja's "impressive visuals" and "strong audio."[2]Conversely,GameSpotprovided a more negative review, deriding the game's different modes as "seriously boring and predictable," as well as criticizing the lack of significant differences in the playing style of the game's characters.G4'sX-PlaygaveClash of Ninjatwo out of five stars, lambasting the fighting engine as "ridiculously basic," and "shallow."[41]It also criticized the lack of a story or use of cutscenes or extras.[41]GameSpyalso commented on this, noting that "considering the charm of the source material, [the game] is really a disappointment."[42]
Critical reaction forClash of Ninja 2has been similar to its predecessor, with mixed opinions from critics. Metacritic compiled a "universal score" of 74/100 from 22 reviews forClash of Ninja 2.[43]X-Playcriticized the game for its limited two-player game and similar fighting styles of the characters. They did, however, praise the game's four-player mode and animation, commenting that it "[nailed] the look of the cartoon characters," and referred specifically to the characters' special techniques animation as "remarkably impressive."[44]IGN agreed with this assessment, noting the game's "sharper look" and "overall depth."[45]GameSpot, echoing its sentiments withClash of Ninja,called the fighting system "simple," to the point that it made the game's expanded roster "irrelevant," and the game "not very satisfying to play." Although GameSpot remarked favorably on the game's "high-energy Japanese-themed background music," it criticized the "obnoxiously repetitive" voice acting, and its constant presence in the game. GameSpot went on to remark thatClash of Ninja 2"ultimately [did] little to improve upon the original," and felt more reminiscent of an "upgraded game than a true sequel." IGN heavily disagreed, claiming that although the game was similar to the original, it had a "ton of added depth" in the fighting system and character options.[45]IGN lauded the game's characters' "depth and complexity" as "awesome," and "a blast to play."[45]GameSpy focused on the game's four player multiplayer, comparing it to the best-sellingSuper Smash Bros. Meleeand that it was a "recipe for plenty of fun."[46]Like its predecessor,Clash of Ninja 2achieved the 250,000 unit sales benchmark, earning it a spot in Nintendo's Player's Choice games.
As with previous incarnations of the series, Clash of Ninja Revolution received a high score from IGN, who noted the game as "fun whether you're a fan of the anime or not", and went on to name it the best Wii fighting game to date, giving it an 8.4 as the final score.[47]The publicationNintendo Powergave Clash of Ninja Revolution a 7 out of 10, calling the game a mere roster update from previous versions.[48]However, Metacritic gave the game, just like the previous games on their site, "mixed or average reviews" with a 74/100 from 23 critics.[49]
Nintendo Power also gave the sequel, Clash of Ninja Revolution 2, an 8 out of 10 for its new modes and refreshed gameplay, and also called Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 the "best Naruto fighting game for Nintendo to date."[50]IGNgave the game an 8.2 out of 10, saying "new characters, new stages, same feel. Fans will love it, but not everyone will want to buy it all over again."[51]Like Naruto: Clash of Ninja and Clash of Ninja Revolution, Clash of Ninja Revolution 2 received "mixed or average reviews" on Metacritic with a critic's score of 74/100[52]
IGN gave Clash of Ninja Revolution 3 an 8 out of 10, praising game to have the most balanced cast of characters and best game mechanics of the series. IGN also criticized Story Mode and laggy online play.[53]However, Metacritic gave this game "mixed or average reviews" with on a score of 74/100 (similar to Clash of Ninja 2, Clash of Ninja Revolution, and Clash of Revolution 2) from 22 critics.[54]
