DESCRIPTION

Based on Shonen Jump's manga and the Cartoon Network's animated series, Naruto: Ninja Council makes its GBA debut as an action platform game in the tradition of Ninja Gaiden. Players can take control of either Uzumaki Naruto or Uchiha Sasuke in seven levels of ninja-fighting action. Each can jump, dash, perform a basic attack, and charge chakra to activate special moves, but the two characters have different strengths and weaknesses. Sasuke is faster than Naruto, for example, but his magic is not as strong. As players advance past an assortment of enemies and hazards, they will eventually confront a boss character at the culmination of each level. Fans of the series will recognize such familiar villains as Rock Lee and Shikamaru, who will all use a variety of signature moves to thwart each character's progress. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
