Another review style thing! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
In my mind, there are 3 types of fighting games that work: Soul Calibur style, Smash Bros style and Marvel vs Capcom (Street Fighter) style. Other fighting games either emulate these styles, or stray and usually don't do so well (My opinion). This game is very Soul Calibur style.
First off, Naruto is the first series I've experienced watching first the subbed (Love!) and THEN the dub, and that wa my first experience of sub fanboyism. I absolutely HATE the voices in the game XD
And, since the Naruto fighting games are released by series (They're upto 4 in Japan), this game is very lacking in characters.
As far as graphics go, considering the original game came out almost 3 years ago (2 years 11 months), it looks excellent (Cartoon/cel style)
Ok, to actual playing! The game is very Soul Calibur style, only it's very simplified. It's half good, because you learn it fast, but also half bad, because then all the characters are so easy to pick up and be good at. It's fun, but it doesn't last nearly as long as Soul Calibur.
Story mode should not exist in this game. That's all I have to say http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif
Secrets are very limited unfortunately (3 characters, character profiles and difficulty pretty much). I'll say Sharingan Kakashi and Kyuubi Naruto are probably some of the most fun characters to play however <3
I'm gonna recommend only a rent for this one. The next game comes out in October or November with more characters (Neji!!!), and I think that's the one that introduces 4 player battles (They do, right? I remember seeing movies. Maybe my imagination is tricking me).
So terrible compared to my Sonic Riders one XD
