Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm hits the PS3 next week. The game features two main game modes for players to enjoy – "Free Battle Mode" and "Ultimate Mission Mode." In Free Battle Mode, you can play as one of 25 characters from the animated series. The battles aren't strictly one-on-one either - you can bring two support characters into every battle, who will help you out in short bursts. This is the same three person team structure as the TV series, but now you can create your own teams with all sorts of original combinations. A lot of effort has been put into the battles to make sure they match the look and feel of the animated series. You can perform all sorts of amazing moves with your favorite characters and even fight on walls and run over bodies of water.
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.
cool, day one buy for me
me and my brother naruto all the time until resistance hits
and possible mirrors edge
but i hope the sequell will come with the Shipuden storyline
Oh dear, I'm gonna be so broke.
Next week for me too.
It looks like a cartoon like uhm, Dragon Quest... not trolling.. but jesus christ how can it look just like an Anime?
The other ones you play are just like 3d games with kinda cell shading, but its still just a 3d game with brighter colors instead of this, whatever this is..
I don't trust it, and its evil.
