A fan is likely to be blinded by love of the brand and unable to tell any better - at least, so hopes the developer. The devotion and sometimes obsession shown by fans (of anything, really) to fully absorb themselves into the sub-culture that they’ve dedicated themselves to is a fact not lost on game companies. Naruto is the anime of choice for a lot of fans, fans whose passion applies to all forms of Naruto merchandise: scarves, rings, wallets, T-shirts and, of course, videogames, regardless of their quality. Naruto: Ninja Council 2, for example, falls firmly in the latter category.
I am, however, able to tell the difference between a good game and a bad game. I never really got into the whole ‘anime’ scene, so I’m unable to, say, recite the banter between Naruto and Sasuke from episode 4 of season 3 of the TV version of Naruto. This is the second time in as many weeks where I’ve attempted to review a game that normally I wouldn’t give a passing glance to.
