Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Graphics - 5.0

This is actually the first ever Naruto video game I've played in depth.I was a big fan of the TV series a few years back, and seeing this game in all its HD goodness really brought back memories.NUNS uses a type of cel-shading that, for all intents and purposes, looks amazing in comparison to other games I've seen and even exceeds the art/animation quality of the anime.Colors, line detail, and shadowing all look fantastic for the characters.I was especially impressed at the fluidity of battles and fighting motions that seem to have been captured and digitally recreated to perfection.In contrast, the backgrounds are a bit dull, but even in the manga/anime, they were never that big of a factor in terms of art.Aside from that, this is easily the best looking Naruto game to date, thus far.

Audio - 4.5

NUNS offers a Dolby Digital 5.1 track in both Japanese and English.For a video game, I thought it was adequate considering that most titles these days are just now starting to delve further into higher quality audio.Directionality is fairly good, balancing music, sound effects, and dialogue mostly through the front sound stage, but also through the rears on occasion.Voices and sound effects are taken straight from the anime, providing a familiar experience to fans of whichever language they prefer.I believe I heard that the music was also composed by Toshio Masuda (the composer of the series' score), or at least someone from his staff, so that's another plus.The only problem is the Ultimate Jutsu glitch, where on occasion you'll hear this explosion sound loop in itself at the end of a battle.

Gameplay - 4.0

NUNS makes for a visual treat in terms of commercial fighting games.If you or your friends are fans of the franchise, you'll probably enjoy hours of fun fighting against each other with most of your favorite characters.However, the story mode leaves much to be desired.Basically, you run around Konoha performing ninja missions, most of them coming in the form of mini games, and then the occasional battle and even monster battles (which graphically speaking are the prettiest parts of the game).Story mode itself is fun at first.But with little diversity and no cut scenes whatsoever to advance the plot, one can only hope that, with their foot now in the door, Namco will improve on this flaw in future installments.

The battle system itself isn't really a "fighting game" in the sense of the usual suspects (Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, Tekken, etc.), but more so a button masher.Players can essentially have 4 items to use in-battle, one jutsu, one ultimate jutsu, and 1-2 support characters that can either combo or jutsu as backup.Don't let the button mashing be too big a concern, however.There are actually enough tactics you could use to make it a little more challenging when fighting someone who actually knows how to play.Unfortunately, most of my friends don't...But overall, it's still fun to play with friends, if not for the experience, then at least for the eye candy.

Packaging - 5.0

NUNS Limited Edition comes in a spiffy steelbook casing and includes the game, the soundtrack, and a limited edition Naruto laser cel.There is also a plastic slipcover with the PS3 and NUNS logos printed on the front and a small picture of Itachi on the bottom of the spine that goes over the case.The case itself has a picture of Kyuubi (Nine-tails) Naruto on the front and Cursed Seal Sasuke on the back.If your friends have tendency of not washing their hands, be prepared to wipe a lot of fingerprint smudges off the case after they leave.

Overall - 4.0

If you're a fan of the franchise and can spare the money, it's worth looking into, but only if you plan on having friends over on a regular basis.The visuals and audio are top-notch, but aside from the battles, the story mode just isn't enough as it becomes more and more stale after a while.Recommended for fans, a rental at best for the casual gamer.

Ultimate Ninja 4: Naruto Shippuden Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is a really good deal for $36.99, the graphics are good-great,
and it has a 3d world to play out the shippuuden, along with amazing graphical animations of major points in the show. It also has a hero mode to play out the original naruto story in a interactive book like way. the multiplayer far succedes the first 3 games, with 50 characters and like 16 feilds to play in. They also added little things that you might not notice but if you do it makes the purchace of this game oh so more satisfiying. My only problem with the game is that it had only a very small sliver of shippuuden in it totaling about 4 1/2 hours and a preshippuuden story (AMAZINGLY GOOD) lasting about 2 1/2 hours of game play. it then has about 10 hours more of things to do missions, collection of peices of memory( for hero mode) ect. all of which have voice acting! putting all of the time it takes to totally enjoy this game and beat it would be about 24 hours so its a really good deal.

if your a naruto addict or a new person to the series,as long as you like RPG's or deul arena's you will like this game.

things that might dissapoint is that the human graphics are lacking, while the back ground is good. and the small number of battle feilds is kinda repetive.

Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a novice gamer so personally, I enjoyed the first Uzumaki Chronicles. I was challenged in the first one and expecting much more from the second installment. It is true that Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 was much better than the first. The story is original, yet fitting, the music is better and more varied, and there are more characters to play.

The story starts with the Sand Ninja Kankuro and his puppets. He tells Naruto about a puppet wielding clan, the Shirogane Clan and their quest to gather the Spirit Orbs. It's up to you, Naruto, and your friends to unravel the mystery of the clan and the "puppetwalkers" & why they crave wanting the Spirit Orbs so bad.

The fact that you and a friend can play together is a plus. Like any game, it has it's bosses that can be tough. Too tough in fact, so you may need to go with a strategy guide. This game will appeal to all Naruto fans. The cut scenes and the graphics are improved form the first, but still a bit choppy. I guess it's a PS2 thing. The fighting is definitely better and not as predictable or repetitive as the first one. I loved the skill plate system in the first one and it returns here. If you are not an experienced super gamer, but a Naruto, fan this is right up your alley.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes isn't, essentially, a simplified version of Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 as reviewers over the internet have been reporting. Sure, it has levels from that game and, in someways, is similar to it but there is enough things different in it to make it its' own game.First and foremost, it has team-based battles which is a welcome changeup from what is normal to the Ultimate Ninja games. Depending on what combinations of characters you use, special team-based skills can be had.There's new animations for your characters' special techniques & whatnot. You can battle your friends wirelessly anytime or anywhere you like.

There's a downside to the game, though. The load times for the game are a smidgen long(that is, if you're the anxious type that wants to get right in there & fight- they last ten to fifteen seconds long. I've seen longer with other games, like Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition & Mortal Kombat Unchained. To me, it is tolerable.). There's no story to speak of(unlike the Japanese game that was released last year in Japan, which was loaded with RPG-esque material). The gameplay, although easier to grasp, pretty much relies on one button. Depending on which way you push on the directional pad when pushing the button results in tweaking or modifying your move of attack.

Overall, CyberConnect2 delivers a satisfying Naruto fighting experience on the PSP. In some ways, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes is a more blisteringly intense game than its' PS2 bretheren. Not only that, it looks absolutely awesome on the PSP.

NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Pros: you can play in RPG mode, battle mode, etc
You can play either good or bad
The voices are very close to the characters they are playing. (ex naruto actually sounds like naruto)
easy to do specials
very challenging game, 2 on 1 battles

Cons: not enough characters
story stops after you free gaara.
the more you increase your levels, your power bar doesn't really grow. For example,I have Naruto at level 55 but somehow Itachi at level 34 has a power bar more than mine. How come someone with a lower level can beat me, someone who has a higher level so easily?

Overall this game is fun but needs to be extended. I was hoping to play as 9 tailed naruto, pain, not even jaira was in the game or lady sunade.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We're finally treated to the third game in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series on the PS2 in as many years and, boy, is it something. There over 40 playable characters in the game with an option to choose between English and Japanese VO. You can customize your characters with whichever ultimate jutsu you choose, you'll be able to turn some of your favorite characters into more powerful ninja and summon giant creatures as allies to help you in battle, interact with characters residing in the leaf village and accomplish over 55 missions in Ultimate Contest mode, engage in battle royale matches in 20 unique stages using either close combat or ranged weapons. The game itself takes place up to the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. It's definitely a bigger monster to contend with this time around.

Ultimate Contest is the biggest part of UN3 wherein a festival is thrown together by Lady Tsunade for the sake of visitors from the hidden village of Sand. The main event is a battle royal in which each ninja gets a crystal. When ninja fight, the winner gets the loser's crystals. The two who finish with the most crystals get to battle for the right to create a new Hidden Leaf Village regulation. You run around Hidden Leaf Village completing simple quests and challenging other characters to fights, which is somewhat similar to the game Naruto Rise of a Ninja(although UN3 came out long before that game did in Japan so, technically, it thought of the idea first). There are also a handful of minigames you'll be asked to compete in as well.

The game has top-notch production values. The graphics look simply stunning in this game(sometimes making you wonder if this isn't a PS3 game).

There isn't much that can be said bad about this game. Note, much that can be said. Meaning there is a few things that isn't so good. My biggest gripe with the game is the unlockables. Most of them are nothing you hadn't unlocked before in the previous games & that, to me, is disappointing. At least, they should give us a some new content to unlock to make it all the more pleasing to play.

Overall, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 is a game all Naruto fans should get. It's definitely the best of the series thus far. I'm not sure casual fans would be interested, honestly, not unless they're into anime & manga.

Sadly, I hear this is the last game in the series for the PS2. The series is moving onto the PS3. I do hope & pray they give it alot bigger scope on the system and continue its' success with newer and better content. PSP owners can rejoice, though, as a new game is on the way for the PSP. Look for my review when it hits the shelves.

Naruto: The Broken Bond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Given how totally awesome Rise of a Ninja was, I was eagerly anticipating this game. There are some changes in this here sequel tho'...and I gotta say, not all of them are good. However like it's predecessor, for Naruto fans it's still a big slice of ninja heaven.

Honestly this one is not as well thought out as the last one was. While Rise of Ninja was literally the "Best Way to Make a Game Out of the First 80 episodes of Naruto"... there are some things about Broken Bond that I could have lived without. This still falls into the category of a "Must Own for Any Self-Respecting Naruto Fan," but it's not as flawless as the pervious offering.

But there is some new stuff that's good. For instance you are given the opportunity of using more characters for the main quest instead of just Naruto. Which makes sense given the story, and makes things more interesting in both the quest and fighting gameplay. The fighting controls also seem to feel a bit less stiff. Also, they straight up give you the option of playing the game with the Japanese voice cast, which apparently for some people higher up on the Otaku Nerd food chain than myself is an absolute necessity. The basic mechanics of utilizing Jutsu to progress through the game, etc are still the same (which is good).

My main beef with this game is this:

In Rise of a Ninja each mission was different and was planned to help advance the story. With Broken Bond each mission is just a fetch quest with some fighting. And it's crazy repetitive. And after a while it gets kind of annoying. Like to the point where the word "insipid" isn't too far off. The context of earning the respect of the Hidden Leaf villagers helped to answer the question of "Why Am I Doing This Again?" in Rise of a Ninja. You're going to be asking yourself that question a lot more in Broken Bond...and most of the time your just not going to get an answer.

Additionally, they broke from using the actual series animation in some of the cut scenes. Some folks might like that better. I didn't. While the graphics engine makes for a great visual representation of the series animation - I wasn't feeling it cut scene wise. That's just me.

That aside, this is still a great game. All of the goodness from the 60 or so episodes from the second part of the series is in there. The epic battles are still awesome, graphics are still great, and when the game isn't making you backtrack for some inane fetch quest - it's fun-as-all-git-out.

While I recommended buying an Xbox 360 just to play Rise of the Ninja, or playing it even if you aren't a Naruto fan - I wouldn't make the same suggestions with this game. If you own an Xbox 360 and are a Naruto fan, then yes, you should totally own this.

All and all this is still a great Naruto game.

Naruto: Rise of a Ninja Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Nintendo and Sony have seen their fair share of Naruto games on, both, console & handheld so it's nice to see Microsoft getting some of that love now. To be honest, it's one of the reasons I bought an Xbox 360(the other being the game Blue Dragon). Naruto: Rise of a Ninja is one of the most stunning games I've seen on the system. Everything in the Naruto universe is so richly detailed. At times, it's breathtaking.

While I was looking forward to an all-new experience with the game(like the completely original storyline in Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2), Rise of a Ninja plays it safe and follows the first season of the anime starting with the tale of the Nine-tailed Fox and how it could have destroyed Konoha Village were it not for the efforts of the Fourth Hokage who trapped the demon within the body of a young child whom we all know as Naruto.

Most of the game and it's playstyle is nothing that Naruto vets haven't seen before. Yet, one thing that sets it apart from the rest is its' fighting system. To perform your jutsu, you have to do a series of hand gestures like they do in the anime(by using a series of thumb gestures on the Xbox 360's analog sticks) to execute them. The fighting can get downright intense at times but, considering the lack of opponents & the variety of them to face in the game, it left me wanting more. Although using your jutsu to accomplish certain tasks in the game proves to be quite fun.

Considering this is the first American made Naruto game, I think the fine folks that developed the game did an excellent job. One that Japanese developers should take note of and implement into future Naruto titles. This is, definitely, a title all Xbox 360 owners should add to their library. Believe it!

Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With this great game, you can unleash your ninja wrath on your friends or the computer with all new characters and in all new stages! It's quite a great change from the first game! You should really go and pick it up if you're a fan, and at least try it out if you don't know about the Naruto series.

The graphics are really nice and they fit quite well because of the anime series. The voiceovers are nicely done too, and you'll even be able to recognize Naruto's Believe it in the game! Do not forget that the game contains a lot of hidden features that will unlock over time, like videos, sound clips, audio clips, characters, and much much more!The sound fits with the stages and the mood in harmony, the characters all have their move and specials, which means each one of them can be tricky in certain situation. The basics are simple and you get to grasp the controls quite quickly. Around half an hour is what you need to get the hang of it.

The game overall is great, everything in it falls perfectly into place, you'll like the game even more if you're a fan, but still, everyone should enjoy it! ^^

Naruto: Clash Of Ninja Revolution 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I think this is a worthy upgrade to the original Clash of Ninja Revolution for Wii.There are several characters that have not been seen in other Clash of Ninja games, either for the Wii or GameCube.

There are also some new features, including the Tag Team fights, where you and an opponent can switch between 2 characters in a fight.Specific pairs of characters can do combo specials that are really cool if you're familiar with the characters in the anime or manga.

The controls can be as complex or as simple as you want, which is one of the more innovative features of this series.You can use GameCube controllers, Wii Classic Controllers, Wii Remotes and the Wii Nunchuck.You can also take advantage of some advanced controls, like the new Hand Signs, or just skip those and still be competitive.

While I think this game is very fun and love what's new, I wish they would have done a bit more upgrading to the basic engine of the game.The style and overall structure of the game hasn't change much since the days on GameCube.I feel like there is room for improvement, but overall this is a solid game that will provide a lot of replay value.

Naruto Shipuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 continues the tradition of Cyber Connect 2's dedication to the Naruto series with the release of Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 on the PSP.Unlike other releases, this game sets its self apart by having a cast of around 50 or so playable characters from the Naruto Shippuden universe, and goes beyond the Rescue Gaara arc of Shippuden.I wont say how far along in the story it goes but lets just it covers a substantial amount of ground. The game even features a Sasuke specific storyline, so some fanservice has been included.

The game features a variety of missions types, most are fight centric with various objectives needed to be done (for example, winning with a ninjutsu, or finishing in awakening mode).Others are more of the enemies have high attack power.Though the game incorporates tactics, in which you can purchase and use the same boosts in battle, such as higher jumping ability, or all allies have high attack.The game allows for four players to battle at once as well (and these are incorporated into story mode too).

Presentation wise, the game looks nice and uses clips from the anime to tell the story.A few parts of the story have been omitted in order to streamline the experience, so you wont see everything that we have seen in past Shippuden games (basically every single battle in the Gaara arc isnt included).The English voice actors return and you can choose Japanese voices.Graphically the game is lush and pretty. There is some cel-shading used in the ultimate jutsus which does the attacks justice. The music sounds reminiscent of that which we heard in Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3 (same flutes and other instruments), sounds very Naruto-like.On the stages where you run and such, there are some framerate slips but they arent that noticeable and there are some jagged lines then, but otherwise nothing to tarnish the fun.You have to be a stickler for graphics to point it out.

Ultimately, this is the ideal Naruto game to get on the PSP for the Shippuden story as it has a huge cast of characters, tons of ninjutsu's, and covers the Shippuden storyline, it is the definitive Naruto experience on the PSP.

Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My sons and I really enjoyed the Gamecube Naruto game that came out before this one, and waited impatiently for this one to come out. After having it for a while, I can tell you that the game play is fairly similiar to the gamecube version, which is a good thing. There are some new Jutsus for the characters, and of the 20 characters available, about half are new. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kisame, Itachi, Tenten are some of the new characters that spring to mind. You don't get the characters by earning money like in the previous game, but by beating different modes of the game with different characters.

The other innovation of the game, that you can "knock" the other players all the way into a new game screen is kinda cool, but doesnt really have that much affect on the game or the way you play. We found that the Wii controllers were a little tough to get used to for doing combo moves, butsince they designed this game to play with Gamecube controllers as well we have just been using those instead.

Very cool game...would have like a few more characters and innovations in gameplay, but its a solid game as it is that we should play for a long time (or until they come out with a Naruto Shippuden version)

Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 features the same voice actors as in the cartoon show dub. You can immerse yourself in the Naruto world in this fighting game.

The graphics are cel shaded and 3D, integrating well into the traditional Naruto style landscapes. The voices are the same as the cartoon series' dub - which you can either really appreciate, because you love the series in English - or which you can really be annoyed by, because the characters constantly mis-pronounce many simple Japanese names.

Where many cartoon fighting games are extremely easy, this one actually has some challenge to it. There are multiple characters, and you can have up to 4 people on the screen at any given time. The combos for a given character can be relatively tricky.

All of the characters are supposed to know the basic ninja techniques that they have learned in their training. However, for some reason, only certain characters can use certain basic moves, all depending on which happened to use that move in an episode. It would have been more realistic and interesting if everyone knew the basic moves but then differed on advanced moves.

The arenas you fight in are interesting - there are temples, outdoor areas, and other environments. The backgrounds are slightly animated, with crowds of cheering people going through the same one-second-long loop continuously. However, they aren't as advanced as most other fighting games out right now. You can't interact with your environment, you can't move from area to area or watch weather or movement of the world you're in. A lot of this is because of the GameCube's inherent limitations, but it does stand out when you've been playing other fighting games on other systems.

I found several of the comments made by certain characters to be incredibly repetitive. It was fine the first time, or the tenth time ... but after 100 times of hearing the exact same statement, it wears on you. It's also a little odd that the main menu shows Sakura (a female) looking at you, but all of the voice you hear is Naruto (a male).

Still, for Naruto fans who have a GameCube at home, this is a great way to immerse yourself in the Naruto world and enjoy it for hours on end. There are numerous characters, lots of battles to play and replay, and a variety of ways to upgrade while you learn all of the combos. As a small bonus, you get a collectable card as part of the set.

Well recommended for Naruto fans.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game is a great indicator to how well naruto is actually coming along in video games. With each one i play they get more and more right making the games better and better. That isn't to say there isn't and flaws in the game, cause their are. Some of the characters are op or "overpowered" and dont really make the matches very fun. With an online game where people try to have fun and be competitive, balance is something that needs to be a top priority. This game does alright with balance, but as i said before there are a few characters that are just way to strong, and as a consequence are used extremely often in online matches to get an easy win.

The story is something that blew me away the most. How they capture it and make it interactive enough to where it doesnt feel like you are just watching the show, but keeping the depth of the story great enough to where you actually feel like you are making a difference and are part of the world is just amazing. I wont spoil the fight but there is one in particular where you change mid fight to a memory like state and the effects they use to capture it are just crazy. None of the story chapters take to long, and the boring stuff is kept to a minimal amount.

This game is not perfect, but it is leaps and bounds better than the last few, and if they take this and improve upon it in the next then we are in for one amazing series of games.

Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III is the first Naruto game on the Wii that features characters from the Shippuden section of the Naruto Anime/Manga. The game contains more than 35 characters from this story arc and should definitely please most people with the selection of characters. Beyond the characters included the game storyline goes through the Akatsuki capturing Gaara arc of Shippuden which is essentially the first 30 or so episodes of Shippuden (or in the manga the volumes 28-31, Manga chapters 245-280). The game brings to life the story by (only includes English audio) incorporating the English voice actors from the show and either stating the exact same lines as we heard them in the anime, or slight modifications and alterations to the places where some of the conversations or fights took place.Actually all but one fight actually occurred.The story in the game is pretty faithful to the manga/anime so it should please people who like to play through the actual events as they took place.

The mechanics to this fighting game are, in my opinion, spot on in all but one respect.The difficulty of the game can be described as easy fights, then a really difficult fight, then a few challenging fights, then a really difficult fight, then a few challenging ones, and so.It seems that they paced out these difficult ones to ensure that a player is actually growing and learning the controls and is able to morph themselves into changing their playstyle for different conditions to win. For example a really early fight that is really difficult is mainly difficult because it is one character versus two characters (and if one character is tagged out they can recover their health) so the key here is that the game wants to make sure that the character is dodging attacks and/or taking advantage of doing many of the jutsus that character knows. The only other weird mechanic in this game, that was new to me (since I come from playing the Ultimate Ninja series of games) is that the substitution jutsu takes about 75% of the chakra bar. So unlike in the other games the substitution jutsus cant really be spammed or heavily relied upon.

The game supports four controls styles (gamecube controller, wiiremote, wiiremote and nunchuk, and classic controller). The controls are fortunately all listed in the tiny game manual and the ability to take part in a tutorial mode, will make sure that you learn to use your specific controller style.I prefer the gamecube controller for the sake of a more traditional experience, but the Wiiremote offers a bonus with some motion controls that can extra power to attacks.

Graphically, the game excels with the cutscenes that are directly from the anime with english dubbing and these can be viewed once unlocked.Battles take place fullscreen but the menu seems to be in a sort of boxed format.The battle experience and screen is clean, moves are fluid, and special jutsus are really flashy.It seems to take advantage of the Wii well and the 3D backgrounds with the 2D cel-shaded models of characters is a great style.The menu presentation could have been worked on as there are alot of jagged/white lines on the characters.Of course we cant really criticize it since we are only concerned with the fighting in the game.

Finally a few more things to note, there is online wi-fi play for those who are interested.Local multiplayer also includes support for up to four players on the field at once.This works well and I hope to see it implemented in future games.It can get hectic trying to keep track of a character and/or figuring out who to target (the target button will change the color of an onscreen arrow that indicates which direction you are facing and fighting). I loved the mode playing it with other people.One thing of caution, one can win by just button mashing, but truly the skilled will win consistently because of the implementation of doing guarding, dodging, and substitution jutsus.

Clash of Ninja Revolution III is definitely a great game in the Clash of Ninja Revolution series and I hope to see it continue deeper into the Shippuden arc of Naruto.It was my first Clash of Ninja Revolution game and was pretty easy to pick up and play within hours. It is actually pretty addictive since, at the time of writing this, Ive already spent more than 30 hours playing it. I dont really have any criticisms beyond the slight menu presentation aspect, but everything else is spot on.A definite buy for fighter fans.
