Inserting an interesting idea is fine, but for sure if it is not developed properly it loses 90% of its potential, risking even turning into a defect. If initially the sliding levels may seem interesting, it really takes nothing to realize how little variety there is between one stage and another, to the point of even being able to predict the exact points where to recover any hidden bonuses. This ? new ? incarnation of the series offers two very distinct experiences, since facing the Story mode (the Master Road) you find yourself alternating horizontal scrolling platform phases (interspersed with simple fights here and there) with the classic duels with one or more opponents. If you’ve played any of the previous Ultimate Ninja Heroes chapters before, you’ll know exactly what to expect. If you want to accumulate Ninja Points, however, you will learn to live with it.The plot does not include movies but is narrated through a series of dialogues dubbed on the images of the characters. The horizontal scrolling stages are rather monotonous, and will tire you easily. Younger players, on the other hand, will be able to enjoy a fun title based on a simple and geek-proof control system. The first group will certainly appreciate the fact that they can play (for the umpteenth time) the highlights of Naruto’s story, focused, on this occasion, on the Shippuden saga until the arrival of Pain. If instead of just going ahead with the plot and adding endless characters, the guys from the CyberConnect2 team (who have shown on more than one occasion that they are able to come up with interesting ideas) would try a little to rejuvenate a series for years anchored to the same mechanics, perhaps fans would find themselves in their hands a truly exceptional product.įor now, however, fans have to settle for a good game, designed solely for devourers of the manga and for an audience belonging to a rather low age group. usual characters and the usual game mechanics. Games based on the manga and the anime of Naruto have come out really many and on an incredible variety of consoles, but given the success that the ninja of the leaf continues to collect even today, it is inevitable to find yourself talking about the umpteenth time.
