| Summary: The BEST PSP fighting game out there!
95
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

sorry to revive this post a month later, but is there a way to turn the background music off? I've been looking for a thorough walk-through, too, but with no luck. Maybe someone could post a link. I just got this game yesterday and I want to know it inside and out.

This game is more intuitive than I thought, and is very addictive, kagenaruto. I found a helpful guide on gamefaq.com written by someone who was bored with pretty much everything I was looking for

hey, KageNaruto, I've got a question for you. I've been trying out the ultra hard single player mode, and I can't figure out how to get behind my opponent. What's even more aggravating is that my opponent blocks and appears behind me almost the entire match. I don't know the moves that well anyway, but I beat both stories, so I think I understand it enough, and even then I wasn't able to use the block/teleport-behind-the-opponent move. If you can fill me in on how to do that, ultra hard mode will be so much more fun for me. For now I like the mode below it, Hard mode

omg are you serious!? thats the part of the game that makes the gameplay so heated (especially when fighting hardest lvl coms in vs mode).
you shoulda looked in your manual you can figure out by the pics.
anyway you hold R to block. but if you click the R button right when the person hits you you use kawarimi and are behind em. its a timing thing. or once they start hittin you you just constantly tap R till it works like a mad person that works too. but basicly right when they hit you click R
any other questions? do you know that some characters (like shika, sakura, kakashi) if you hold up bottun they heal health at expense of chakra?
