Kit's Rant #2

I'm all for people reviewing a game as they see fit. Certainly that's what we do here. And it would be silly of me to expect everyone to have the same opinions of a game, but upon reading this one particular review, I question this free will. This review that has upset me so? Why it's the Naruto: Clash of Ninja review in the May 2006 issue of Nintendo Power. Of course they could not be expected to hate the game as much as Yuuki or I did. However, this review made me cough up bile. Let me quote it now.
"Naruto: Clash of Ninja is easily the best fighting game based on an anime lisence to reach North America"-- True, there's a limit to them, but Inuyasha: A Feudal Fairy Tale is definitely better.
"Retaining the look and feel of the Naruto anime series with its beautiful graphics and high-quality voiceovers"--Yeah...the graphics weren't bad. But I wouldn't call them impressive. They did keep in the Naruto style, so let's let that part slide. High-quality voiceovers...the pain....the pain....
"Clash of Ninja manages to be fun whether you're a fan of the series or not"--I'm not a huge fan of the series, Yuuki is. Neither of us had fun playing it.
"It's a rewarding game with a well-tuned fighting system and loads of replay value"--there were three moves, no diversity, and hell if I had to play that anymore I'd start screaming.
"Believe it!"--anyone ending a review with that annoying overused phrase obviously should have his brain examined.

Ok, it's not much of a rant. Certainly I have no point. I just could not let this review slide. Pick up Naruto if you trust Nintendo. That's you're choice. Keep it safely on the shelves if you trust Yuuki and Me. And have a lovely day.

Oh and just in case you forgot the review....http://gameranter.blogspot.com/2006/03/naruto-clash-of-ninja-gc.html
