It was just a bunch of missions where you break boxes or something.And you could barely use jutsu on most of the missions!Still fun.

The game had good gameply while it lasted. Although, if you are the only person in a group of friends that has this, it is rather pointless to keep once you beat it. Considering that there is no point to owning it when there are only missions left to play. I beat the game in about 5 hours, which is nothing compared to some games. It was an average game, nothing to get hyped up about.

Oh my God this game is the worst choice for any Naruto game! The entire one player mode is a bunch of suckish missions plus I beat it in less than 3 hours! 'Nuf said. I give it 4 shuriken out of 10. What was going through the mind of the people at D3P?

Controls.....

I can't really give a proper review for the entire game as I only played it for 2-3 hours.

I can however tell you that the controls really could have used some work.

Some examples:
Trying to hit those blasted snakes and wolves were quite hard for me since you can't duck/punch. In otherwords you had to be in a very specific range with the animals in order to hit them while standing up. I spent most of my time trying to jump and drop kick them. I also had to be careful not to get 3 hit combos because almost every time I did I'd hit'm off a ledge and not get credit for their death.

Second thing I thought needed work was the intuitiveness of the summoning spells. For what ever reason every time I tried to draw the symbols on there nothing was recognized.

This game was fun. It has 62 missions, it is very easy to beat I wish it was a longer game with more playing options. I beat it in 7 1/2 hours, even though I could have done it faster.

I bought this game and was very disappointed. I play ever Naruto game from Clash of ninja to ultimate ninja storm,and all you do are stupid missions. Get path of ninja or ultimate ninja heroes for a handheld Naruto game.

Now don't get me wrong, its an alright game...when you first play it, then it just gets lame. Constant constant missions only to do what? give you a slide show. The fights are alright but not enough to get me hooked. Now how I feel this game would have been so much more fun, if it just had a versus mode that you could play by yourself and fight who you want. BUT NO instead you have to find three other people who own the game in order to even try. It just wasn't enough. There are a good assortment of characters. 1 point, some of the missions were fun, 2 points, it had good graphics, 3 points and it also killed a lot of time when I was bored 4 points. But some of the missions sucked, the partners you have to protect don't know how to even tie there own shoes let alone survive for a minute. and not to mention the lack of a good versus mode. Thats all it needed and it would have killed so much more time for me then just DO 40 MISSIONS! GREAT JOB! I tried to see if there was more, but doing all perfect missions. . . NOTHNG CHANGED. I wasted my time getting S rank on every mission for nothing. and got the same lame slide shows I got before.

In this game you get to be over like 30 characters including Kabuto, Itachi and Kisame. Do a bunch of cool moves like Puppet Master Jutsu, and Water Dragon Jutsu. Play along with the story as who ever you want to be. There is also Multiplayer if you want to battle a friend or enemy. GREAT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naruto ninja counsil 3 is a fun game, but it's hard to move. The best part is when you use the jutsus, and you half to spin the chacra around.

Great game, while it lasted

Naruto: Ninja Council 3 is a great game while it lasted. I was never able to play the multi-player so im going to base this review on the single player.
Its a great game, all though it is a bit too short. the replay value isn't that great, thats due to the lack of customizeable battles. You can't choose to have a 2 V 2 fight aganst bots, or anything like that. the character selection is great, all the best characters are unlocked last including my favorite ninja - Itachi. another great aspect of the game is that you can have a single character with 4 other ninjas special techniques. as in you could have Naruto's Uzumaki Barrage, Sasuke's Chidori, Kakashi's lightning blade, and Gaara's Sand Coffin jutsu on Temari. So it allows you to play as your favorite characters, but also to have your favorite abilites of other characters.
In my personal oppinion the game is perfect except for its replay value, and that you can't make custom battles. but its great for the handheld standards.

Lazy!

This game is awsome but the desiners were too lazy to do the actual NarutoNinjaCouncil3 game. So they took some missions out and took out a couple character from NinjaCouncle4. I love NinjaCouncle4 so that is why it still got a good score but it would have scored higher if it was you know the actual game.

PROS:the only pro in this game is the good selection of characters

CON:EVERYTHING.the control scheme alone can ruin your play.2 second missions.and repeditive gameplay makes this game the worst game on the DS

I'm a HUGE Naruto fan,but that alone doesn''t make a game.I'd hate to see the gaes before this

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

This game is pretty fun. It uses the touch screen very well and all the challanges are fun. You can play as several Naruto characters each with their own attacks. If you are a Naruto fan like me GO BUY THIS GAME!

It was no diffirent then the other ninja council games. The controls were really bad and you could only do a certin amount. The good thing was that you could choose your mission. But even that had a downside. Some were so easy a vegtable could complete them. While some were so hard and impossible that none of my friends could beat them! Also some of the missions were really cheap. Like one mission where you have two minutes to kill 30 wolves. It takes one freiken minute to kill one with the little combos avalible! Dont play this game! PLEASE DONT!!

Let's look the few good things in this game. There is a large amount of characters to play as, including both good and bad people. There are plenty of missions to keep you busy for a couple hours. Most of them being not too challenging.

The controls in my opinion were pretty bad. Trying to hit bats or wolves and other animals was annoying. It was difficult trying find what spacing you had to have between you and the animal. It would have been lot more helpful if there was a tutorial at the start to teach you controls, because apparently you can teleport somehow.. Also the weakest of the enemy ninja were annoying when they knocked you over on the 100 man brawl.

On some missions you cant use your ninja techniques. Which makes it extremely annoying, no matter what difficulty you are playing on. But I found any fight with another human extremely easier than killing "giant spiders" because of how easily I could be knocked down. I was sort of angry with the lack of techniques most unlocked characters have. I was also disappointed at how some characters were in the game and some, who are much cooler, were not.

The character selection was excellent and the using of the touch screen are good, but the game itself was much too short and a better connection to the main story line is needed
