This year, Naruto and Sasuke have been chosen for the survival challenge held annually at the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Naruto and Sauke will have to challenge seven stages, all divided into different themes, and try and get to the exit where the Lord Hokage awaits. At each stage, village ninja will do whatever it takes to hinder their path. Can Naruto and Sasuke overcome this test and conquer the survival challenge?

Naruto comes to the Game Boy Advance for the first time in Shonen Jump's Naruto Ninja Council by Tomy, distributed by D3 Publisher. Play as Naruto or Sasuke and fight your way through the different stages using combo attacks, Ninjutsu, or Special moves. Hidden in the stages are several support characters, including Sakura, who help you along your way.

Naruto Ninja Council plays as a typical action game with combos and special moves that are easy to execute. The game also has something like an in-game tutorial, books which teach you how to play the game. At first, it helps players get accustomed to the controls and helps them determine what to do, but eventually it gets in the way, especially when replaying stages.

Overall this game is a fun action adventure game for the GBA and Naruto fans won't be dissapointed. A perfect game for kids to pass the time or to bring on a trip, Naruto Ninja Council is fun and brings enough variety for fans of the TV series and manga. "Believe it!"
