Naruto: Ninja Council for the Nintendo DS is a fighting game where as many as four people can duke it out as Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, or any of 25 other characters from the Naruto universe. The game offers plenty of visual and vocal fan service for followers of the Naruto comic books and animated series.The action largely takes place on the top screen while the bottom screen serves as radar and a collection of "buttons" for initiating special Jutsu techniques. Players can activate these special attacks using the Nintendo DS stylus on the touch screen or by blowing into the microphone. When you perform a Jutsu technique, a dramatic cutaway put together with the game's characters and hand-drawn artwork will temporarily fill both screens. Fans of the Naruto animated series will really appreciate these flashy attack sequences particularly because they employ the voices of the show's actual voice cast.
