NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Naruto and friends dash into battle where they
pummel each other and perform chakra attacks in free
flowing motion. Along with the foreground which
serves as a battlefield, the background may be leapt
into for avoidance or for tactical maneuvering to
mount a new attack. Along with fists and feet of
fury, weaponry such as shuriken, bombs, and more may
be picked up on the battlefield and then thrown by
the fighters to spice up the attack repertoire.
Naruto kicks and punches up a storm as he leaps,
jumps, rallies, and runs through the varied levels
which are inspired by key locations from the wildly
popular animation series. The cast members include
Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, Hinata, Gaara, Rock Lee,
and more for a total of 14 characters at the outset
and unlockables as objectives are achieved.
The characters that are fought
and usable in the first few levels of the adventure
portion of the game are as follows below. Once they
are beaten, they join your ranks. All of the

Game Notes
» The voice actors and actresses from the animation
were hired for their talents to provide the speech
and exhortations in the game.
» At the outset of the game, Shikamaru and Sakura
are commiserating when a wind blows and their
attention is drawn to a shadowy tower in the
distance. A vortex of energy above the tower appears
imposing... Naruto crew are charged with scaling the
tower, level by level, to reach the apex.
» The camera scrolls in and out smoothly as the
fighters range close and far on the battlefield.
Special attacks are shown in short cel-shaded
animated sequences. When two fighters are close
together, they fill up a little over half the height
of the screen. When they're far away, they fill up
approximately 1/8 of the height of the screen.
» Ten stages are featured in the fighting portion
of the game with many taken from the PS2 Narutimett
releases.
