Ryan Clements from IGN writes: We've been hanging around Naruto and company quite a bit recently, having played Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress just last week on the PSP. But we ran into the iconic anime ninja again when we were given the opportunity to try out an upcoming demo of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm recently -- a demo that will be available on the PlayStation Store mid-July. This is definitely something that may have sparked interest in hardcore Naruto enthusiasts, considering this is the first time we've seen the franchise hit Sony's current-gen console. While the demo is extremely limited (restricting us to two characters and one environment in a single-round match), it's a very welcome look at what could be developer CyberConnect2's best Naruto title yet
There's nothing quite like flying in DBZ: Kakarot or Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm's battles.
That's also the problem. They are decent but never truly ambitious in challenging the powerhouses of any genre whether RPG or fighting.
Completely agree. Their games never quite reach that high point. They have potential but it's like they hold themselves back.
They do seem to have taken a safe route with the new Demon Slayer game though, which has no demons to slay (???) and is very similar to Ninja Storm.
I mean, ArcSys makes better anime games in Guilty Gear and FighterZ, so this argument fell on its face quick.
Those are both fighting games based off of an anime. Naruto storm, my hero one justice, that shitty one punch man game, etc are the games the writer is talking about Im sure
I like the games they work on and how they recreate the feel of the anime. They are masters of that imo but the gameplay is usually basic and doesn't ever try anything new. It's mostly the same over and over.
So that basically only ever makes it a good game with lots of potential to be a great game.
CC2 has a lot of potential. Theyre amazing when it comes to spectacle. Naruto storm looked great and asuras was amazing cinematic wise, but theyre gameplay needs so much improvement. Its so damn basic. Its like they hold themselves back. I remember the reveal trailer for asuras wrath having body slams, and suplexes, dragging enemies across the ground etc. And for some weird reason all of that was removed for gameplay that was hardly anything more than mashing the circle button.
And its even more frustrating cuz theyve done how many storm games now. Youd think they wouldve managed ti improve but tis like theyre not even trying. Idk man. I just feel like a dev like them shouldve been way bigger by now
Nevada Dru from Bits & Pieces finally got into Naruto and works his way through the Ulimate Ninja Storm series, starting at the begining.
A fun and creative spin on an inexpensive meal! Inspired by the video game series Naruto Ninja Storm.
around 7-8 across the board. 'Casual' gaming done right(Plus the outstanding visuals). And I'm a big Naruto fan.
looks very cool :D
and no i'm not a naruto fan
...but I think I will pick this one up when it first comes out. This game for me is along the same lines as DBZ games on PS2, which my nieces and nephews love, and I enjoy playing games with them. MY child is too young to play but could see them eventually picking this one up and having some fun with it. I encouraged to check out the anime series now so that I can get some background on this game.
