Its a pretty good naruto game except it doesn't seem like much of a fighting game its more of an action adventure type game, don't get me wrong i love the game it could just use more fighting and more characters, overal a pretty good game.
========== Story ========== Naruto Shippuden Legends: Akatsuki Rising covers the events of the Gaara Retrieval Arc for the most part. The game recreates all of the important scenes from the arc rather successfully despite the limited amount of actual dialogue in the game. ========== Gameplay ========== This game offers terrible camera controls to be honest. The camera is manipulated with the d-pad while you control the character with the analog stick making it impossible to do both at the same time. You'll largely compensate for this by using the lock-on button to relocate the camera behind your character after you've cleared an area of enemies.
The game also suffers from rather limited combat options to be honest. You'll largely mash on the square button to throw punches, kicks, and headbutts at your enemies. And while you are mashing away on the square button you'll automatically dodge your enemies attacks as well.
Another downside to the game is that boss fights will largely rely on jutsu spamming no matter which character you use. I usually went with Naruto and spammed his shadow clone technique since it allowed me to stay away from the enemies since they will spam special attacks as well.
And finally the game suffers from massive jumps in difficulty. The regular enemies will be almost unbearably easy to tear through, but certain boss fights will be frustratingly difficult because of the problems with the lock-on feature. The major issue with the lock-on feature is your lock-on will shift to the enemy that most recently attacked you, which makes it difficult to stay focused on a specific target. ========== Graphics ========== Graphically the game is rather dull to be honest. All of the areas are surrounded by visible barricades that are decent to look at but the combat area is almost devoid of objects. It makes the environments feel rather dull and limited. On the other hand the character models are decent and the certain areas are rather nice to look at. ========== Sound ========== The sound track and voice acting is decent, but not particularly memorable. ========== Lasting Appeal ========== After you defeat the main scenario mode you have a few other things you can explore like mission mode, survival mode, and akatsuki mode. ========== Scores ========== Gameplay: 5 Graphics: 8 Sound: 8 Lasting Appeal: 8 Overall: 6.875
