When I bought this game massive amounts of dopamine rushed to my brain and I felt giddy inside. When I popped it into my PSP, I knew it was definitly worth it. This is a very fast paced game, and without a doubt the best fighter for PSP so far (and most likely to come).
Graphics
The characters themsleves when close are pretty detailed and look really good (cell shaded). They are still a bit pixely and blurry sometimes though when they are a distance apart, but still are awsome. The backgrounds are the best of all PSP fighters. A lot of things can be breakable and ae very interactive. When you do specials on the PSP its like pure gold in graphics. The characters in my opinon in some cases may need work, but re still kool.
Sound
Unfortunately, this game doesen't have the soundtrack of the original Naruto anime, (like all games) but it's still a good soundtrack and gets you in the battling move. The voices ar edone by the original actors (japanese ofcourse) and are just marvelous. I love all the sound effects as well.
Gameplay
This game has a dungeon system, that actually lasts a long time but is very repetitive. Basicly you go through the dungeon and in each room you can either battle, do a minigame where you ar e runnning up a tree, do a mingame where you have to remember what shikamaru did (it shows the buttons) and then press them, a slot machine minigame, a quiz (which is in JPN so this one isn't very fun cause you dont understand it), or one where you have to tell which ebisu is real and which are clones. It's still pretty fun to go through the dungeon. Theres a story in there too, and its very easy to understand even if you dont read japanese. I wont go too much into the dungeon story mode though.
Awesome, just awsome. This is a very fast paced fighting game with 23 characters (and yes sasuke is ni this even though there were doubts). So this is how it works. X button is too jump, you cn double jump or do a dash towrd your opponent in the air. SQUARE button is to launch shuriken or other items you may pick up (you can break some things in the stage that give you items). Circle button is to attack and different combinations of the circle button will make you be able to string together combos. By different combos I mean pressing the directionla buttons in different ways(and you dont play with the joystick in this game). Pressiing up up or down down and then circle will unleash an attack that requires chakra, like sexy no jutsu, or blowing fire etc. You can also string this together with other attacks, but make sure not to waste the chakra. Clicking triangle with full chakra will make this blue light shine around you, and in the breif time you have if you hit your opponent you do yuor special. Like with Naruto it's Kyubi Rasengan (when he is in 1tail mode). This lasts for about 5 secs and is very fast, to keep the fast gameplay flow going. Usually after you score a special you go into a power mode where you are super powerful for like half a minute.
R button is to block, and if you click it at certain times when yuor opponent attacks you you teleport behind them. Also if you knock an opponent on ome direction pretty far (easiest way is by pressing back-circle) you can click circle and the way the opponent is flying to appear behind them and activate a kawarimi sequence. basicly if they click circle when youre about to hit them they will reappear behind you and you have to click circle and it goes on. It's very fun. L button scrolls through the diff weapons to throw you may have picked up (which include fuuma shuriken, shuriken, explosive notes, poison bombs, etc). Thats about it for how you play, and its very very fast paced and addicting.
Also, this game is 2D fighting, but if you click X-up you teleport to the back of the stage (yes theres 2 parts of the stage you can be at). Then to go back to the first part of the stage click X-down. This game is extremely similar to the PS2 game of Naruto.
Loading times
Not bad at all! If you ever played Bleach for PSP the lading times for the battle sare shorter than that. They are about 15 secs me think.
Lasting appeal
If you want to unlock everything (by this I eman characters and little bonuses like pictures etc)you will most likey have to play for at least 10 hours. You will still be coming back to this game over and over. And convince your friends to get it so you can battle them, since its a 2player fighting game. This game will last long, just because its so good.
Overall
Extremely fun, and the best game I have for PSP so far (I think its even better than katamari, but they are diff catagories but still). This game is worth getting by far, unless you are an anime racsist. Teleporting is sooo fun, and when you fight computers at their highest level, its so fast paced its awsome. ITs also a very very fluid game. And language barrier is very small, its really easy to figure everything out.
i have this game too!! its really good for a first naruto on the psp...i like the grapihc..loading time..gameplay everything is better than oke
only 1 thing thats a really really big mis..is the special..you can only use it 1time..the ougi every character has 1 ougi.in the ps2 it had like 3...
that was a bod point for me becouse i liked the ps2 version becouse of that specials..i hope we get a new naruto for the psp which has that option.
overal i give this game a 7/7.5...i would be a 8/9 if that specials was in the game..but i have to say its the best fighting game on the psp. ( played street fighter the con and darkstalkers chronicles)
Yeah I heard the same thing, 1 ougi, wish it were swapable like in 3 then this game would rule. Character roster is not too bad, good amount for the first game. But I miss Kankuro and Zazuba. At least Itachi and Kisame are in this one. So who else has it? I'm waiting for mine in the mail, should be in today. If this game did well in Japan, then you can bet we will see more Naruto PSP games and they will get better.
i have a question the "OUGI" what is that? i think i know what it is but not sure...isn't that the special move?
ex:naruto - circle thing on his hand, sasuke or kakashi - chidori???
lol yeah theres only one special move. i was really hoping for there to be temari and kankurou.
howevee we dont need zabuza, him and kismae are basicly the same.
a special move with kakashi is so fun though cause you afterward use asll the other person's attacks.
and heelo lol i cant belive you didnt figure out that theres a downdowncircle and upupcircle moves.
anyway i just noticed i did a lot of mispellings in my review oh well.
and id rather have there be more in-game chakra using moves than specials, cause specials tend to be the only thing ppl use a lot of times
have to admit man pretty good review, and well the mis spelling doesnt bother me at all i prob will order the game 2 but just have to wait caus i can get my tattoo next month :D yea!!! my own design so prob. in like 2 months ill get the game
anybody know how to level up?? do u have to use books??
i cleared 100floor and now playing basement(?) well.. going down..
anyone know how to use sharyungan with kakasi??
its called sharingan.... dont disgrace it by calling it sharyugan lol.
and you dont really use it, what you do is you land your special on the character and then you copy all their moves for like 20 seconds, or 30. thats how you use sharingan with kakashi in the game, outside the game (in the dungeon) you just use his ability.
p.s. yeah the books increase your stats. they are pretty worthless, you can beat the game without using them
by the way rizakage yeah the 1st gc naruto game sint that good, but the 3rd and 4th kick ass
and adding on guys go to the options menu (with the skaur apicture) and at the top set the coompute to its highest level. basicly its the very top option and keep clicking right until the letters are the redest and wont go further. then fight the comps in 2player mode. thats how you make them the hardest level.
its really fun, i practiced enough so i beat the computer 9/10 battles when i choose the characters to be random for both me and computer (im trying to master all characters but for some strange reason i suck with hinata and kiba)
