Simplistic and artistic in equal measures, Naruto Ultimate Ninja is based on the hit anime TV series and punches above its weight if you're after furious ninja battling - with just one button!

One button deals with all hand-to-hand combat, which soon develop into combos, while the rest deal with jumping and projectile attacks.

It's surprisingly addictive, if not overly complicated, and the strong anime visual style and wide variety of gameplay modes - story, mission, practice and free battle - give you plenty to get your teeth into.

The action is frenetic and while the single player stuff will probably be ploughed through by regular fighting gamers, the two-player modes are bound to keep you coming back for more.
