FIGHTING

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution
The Wii is still young so there are not many fighting games for it yet, luckily one of the few is Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution and it is very good. The game features a storyline drawn from the hit animated series on the Cartoon Network, you can select from 20 characters and battle your way to the finale. Up to four players can play together in multiple game modes, while motion control is minimal in the combat, there are many minigames utlizing the motion sensing functions. This is a solid fighter that Wii owners should try.
