Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution III Review
The first thing I want to say about this game is that I would rate this game 4 and 1/2 out of 5 if I could. This game Isn't quite five stars. But I will say in spite of that, this is still an amazing game! This is by far a hard core, fast paced, combo fighting game! There is a total of 40 playable characters, all with different playing styles, as well as 40 environments from the Naruto series, and many options for game play rules. There are also many different modes to play with one to four players like survival mode in which you fight as many opponents as you can without losing, time attack in which you try to defeat 10 opponents as fast as you can, co-op mode in which you fight as a team of two against another team, and free for all, which is three to four players. For good advice, I wouldn't recommend playing free for all battles. The reason for this is that in the game your fighter is focused on only one opponent. So if there are more then two players, then It's annoying to try to fight both of them at once. Plus the game lags a bit with more then two players. Luckily this game has a co-op mode which alloys more then two players to play the game at once and still have only two players on the stage at all times. Another thing that's nice about this game is that you can play online against other people. Plus for those who are like me who get annoyed at people who spam games, you don't need to worry as much in this game about coming across spammers, because there is almost always a way to get out of every situation in this game thanks to the substitution jutsu and chakra bar. Basically the substitution jutsu is good for getting out of a beating from an opponent, and start up your own offense. You use the substitution jutsu when getting hit by an opponent. There are two types of substitutions. One that just puts you behind your opponent, and one that puts you behind your opponent and does an attack. And believe me the first substitution may seem pointless since it doesn't do an attack, but it can be very helpful at plenty times of a match depending on who you play and what the situation is. Either way, there are many things you can do with the chakra bar in which you can restore just from attacking, even if you miss. But you get a lot more chakra back when you hit. I could go on forever about all the awesome details of this game, but that would take forever! That's just how good this game is. So why didn't I rate this a perfect game? I mean, this game has everything right?! deep strategy fighting style, good graphics, lots of playable characters and stages, lots of modes, lots of rules to change, not really any cheep ways to play the game, computers and wi-fi if you don't have someone with you to play against. So what is not good about this game? Well, the controls my friend. The thing is, when you attack you use the analog stick and point in different directions to do different combo attacks including up with the analog stick. Now to jump you need to move the analog stick up. Can you tell where this is going? There are many times when I want to do my up on the analog stick and it makes me jump instead. Since this is a fast paced game, I don't have much time to react to get my character to do the move. Another thing that's annoying is that to use paper bombs, you need to hold down both of the dodge buttons to go into the stance in which you can now use paper bombs to put on the ground, in objects, and throw. So sometimes when I try to go into that stance, my character dodges instead. Of course, this is kind of my fault for not being an expert at pressing two buttons at the exact same time. The same goes for going into the hand sign stance, in which by doing hand motions with the wii mote and nunchuck, you can either increase your chakra, or increase your attack power for 15 seconds. The downside to this and the paper bomb stance is that you can't block attacks. Normally when you stand still, if you get hit from an attack hitting the front of you, you won't get hit. You will take a very tiny bit of damage thou, but It's not really noticeable. But there is a guard bar in which as you take damage frequently, will drop. If this bar runs out, you will lose all of your chakra, as well as be vulnerable for about 2 seconds. Now not that it matters to me, but the story line is very short. It follows the Naruto Shippuden series from episode 1-30. The wording in the story is actually very close to the TV series. all thou, there are some things in the story mode that never happened in the TV series. I know this because I frequently watch the Naruto TV series online. I have watched about 180 episodes of Naruto in one month. Before then, I haven't watched Naruto in three years. That why I watch so much now. Now one last complaint about the game is that it's annoying to turn around in the other direction when your character's back is facing an opponent. So beware of this info if you buy this game. Now if you don't believe me about all of this, then try this game out for yourself. Trust me when I say that for less then this game is so worth buying! Even if you don't watch the TV series, or if you aren't a hard core gamer, or both, you can still have fun with this game. Because this is one of those games in which those things don't matter. One can win by buttons mashing, but when it comes to facing a skilled opponent, only the most skilled player will win. Hope this info was helpful, and if you buy this game, enjoy!
