The graphics are pretty much like the usual video game graphics of the Naruto Universe. I bought the Wii Motion-Plus for Skyward Sword (Legend of Zelda), so if I had to, I was gonna use it.
I thought you would have to use the Wii Motion-Plus, but you can use the gamecube or classic controller, which is better for me. After a few seconds, it would run smooth, but after I was mercilessly hit repeatably. The only thing I didn't like about it was that when there was a lot of big enemies, the game would run slowly and glitchy.
It was fun and I beat story mode in two days, versus is also fun, but you can only be Sasuke or Naruto so that is boring soon. I love Naruto, so I wanted to get this for a while. Must have for any Naruto fan! Great storyline and full-voiced cutscenes! Inspired adventure featuring fan-favorite characters Control Naruto as he wields the might Dragon Blade Collect elemental orbs to unlock new elemental abilities Defeat five supernatural dragons and save the world Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles The game's story involves all the main characters from the animated series, and in some situations, Naruto can call for help from his specially skilled friends and allies.Īction/Adventure, Adventure, Action/Adventure In his travels, Naruto also acquires scrolls that teach him new special abilities, such as "Shadow Clone," "Fire Ball," and "Mud Wall," to give him an edge in combat or help him to overcome obstacles. The sword can be empowered with orbs taken from defeated dragons, and so Naruto's elemental might becomes more versatile with each boss-battle victory. Naruto wields the Dragon Blade, which is the key to defeating the Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth, and Water dragons. Ninja-style fighting is a fundamental part of the game, but combat plays out in the flow of the third-person missions. Breaking from the fighting game format of the Wii's Clash of Ninja Revolution series, Dragon Blade Chronicles is a full-fledged action-adventure. Plus, it gives you a reason to play through the story.Rival heroes Naruto and Sasuke follow different paths toward a shared goal: preventing the world's destruction by the Genryu - five legendary dragons - and defeating the hateful Dragon Guardian leader who has unleashed their elemental fury. I like how there are plenty of unlockables to obtain and this is awesome if you are a fan of the show. Two Naruto fans just going at it will have a blast with this. This for me is where the strategy comes into play, but to get the most fun out of this I do feel that you have to play with another person and not take it too seriously. It is a very simple game to get the basics of and you could probably even call it a button masher.Įach character’s special abilities are different and it is timing when and where to use these that is the key to victory. This is a fighting game and part of the charm of it for me is that it is a fighting game that anyone can jump in and play.
Simple, But FunĪgain, I must say that this is the first game in this series so you have to take that into consideration when talking about the gameplay. The soundtrack is rocking and certainly jacks you up, but I do wish that it had a lot of voice acting to really get you more invested. The characters, the locations and everything in between in this game has a high level of polish to it and looks like the show. Even now after a decade, I would say that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is a fantastic looking game. One of the benefits of using cell-shaded graphics is that they can age like a fine wine. Like An Anime, Touched For The Very First Time It is not horrible by any means, but it is severely lacking in contrast to what the series would offer, but hey it had to start somewhere. One second you are in the forest and the next in the village with nothing to transition it. The story is told rather poorly if I am honest in that there is no proper voice acting and a severe lack of cinematics.
