Yet another nice looking but deeply average platform beat 'em up from the Naruto series.

a big problem with this game is the lack of characters, only 5 makes it a big step down from ninja council 3 and the rest of the characters are support characters. its core 2D side-scrolling game play is passable, just lacking a lot of the fun charm. it has neat fighting mechanics which helps it i guess but not too much. having it be lowered price at launch would keep peoples expectations low and it wouldn't feel as cheap or boring.

Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Council 4 is a large downgrade to the previous iteration, Naruto: Ninja Council 3. First of all, four characters? Are you serious? The last game had like 15 to 30 characters you can play with. Now you give Naruto, Sakura, Neji and Rock Lee? Nope, I ain't having it. The story mode is back but short. The enemies (and even bosses) are easy to defeat unless your at the end of the game. Also the mechanics... you got dropped now to having just your leader and two members (I hope you can guess) from the last game that let you choose a leader and THREE other members! The Wireless Mode **** ass and that's generally about it. A bad downgrade to such a great series.

Not a really good Ninja Council game, the 3rd one was way better and it had like 20 playable characters but in this one there's only 5 playable characters and the rest are Wireless - Multiplayer characters and Assist characters. The storyline is fine and sometimes the platforming is complicated like sometimes you when you jump off to go down, you sometimes won't know there would be a huge pit and that can cause you to lose a live. Sakura is useful in this game because she can heal a little bit of your health if you have it low.
