The Hachiko writes: "Akatsuki Rising is the latest installment in the Naruto videogame franchise, which attempts to be an RPG, hack-and-slasher, fighter, and action adventure game all rolled up into one. The problem with the game is that it tries to be so many things that it ultimately fails at succeeding to be good at any one thing. It's not a dreadful game, but you're going to have a hard time appreciating much about it if you're not already a fan of the franchise."
