Naruto Shippuden Dragon Blade Chronicles (Nintendo Wii, 2010

Rival heroes Naruto and Sasuke follow different paths toward a shared goal: preventing the world's destruction by the Genryu -- five legendary dragons -- and defeating the hateful Dragon Guardian leader who has unleashed their elemental fury. Breaking from the fighting game format of the Wii's Clash of Ninja Revolution series, Dragon Blade Chronicles is a full-fledged action-adventure. Ninja-style fighting is a fundamental part of the game, but combat plays out in the flow of the third-person missions. Naruto wields the Dragon Blade, which is the key to defeating the Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water dragons. The sword can be empowered with orbs taken from defeated dragons, and so Naruto's elemental might becomes more versatile with each boss-battle victory. In his travels, Naruto also acquires scrolls that teach him new special abilities, such as "Shadow Clone," "Fire Ball," and "Mud Wall," to give him an edge in combat or help him to overcome obstacles. The game's story involves all the main characters from the animated series, and in some situations, Naruto can call for help from his specially skilled friends and allies.
