Giancarlo Varanini of GameTap writes: The orange jumpsuited ninja-in-training is back in this latest installment of the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series, and like the previous entry, Ultimate Ninja 3 is a fighting game at its core, with some side quests and mild adventuring around Leaf Village to tie it all together. At the beginning of Ultimate Ninja 3, the residents of Leaf Village--which are all either highly skilled ninjas or students, naturally--are challenged to participate in a tournament to demonstrate their skills. But the real goal is to gain crystals held by the other contestants--some have red crystals that are worth five points, while others have blue crystals worth one point. Naruto needs at least 60 points to move from the opening round to the finals
But obviously, as with any Naruto game, the real meat of the experience is in the fighting. All of the characters have a set of basic attack combinations supplemented by jiutsus, or special moves and combinations that use chakra--think of it as being like a meter that you can charge and drain by using these moves.
Love Anime or Manga? Then these games are for you!
Agree with everything except SAO Lost Song. It should be replaced with either Rehollow Fragment or Hollow Realization.
Also there are a few other anime games that were pretty decent:
Gungrave
Berserk (dreamcast)
One Piece Grand Adventures/Battle Rush
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in Shell PS1
Yugioh games
Bleach Soul Resurrection
Cowboy Bebop
Hajime no Ipo
Steins;Gate
Nitroplus Blasters
Dengenki Bunko
MS Saga
And as for anime like games:
Persona
Blue Dragon
Tales games (my favorites being Vesperia, Symphonia and Graces)
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea
HDN
I could recommend some japanese games, not exactly from anime..but still i think its worth to play for people who like anime:
Killer is dead, no more heroes (USA wii versiom), No more heroes 2, killer 7, okami, viewtiful joe 1 & 2, god hand
Before we begin, let us stress that Naruto Accel 4 IS NOT an official game! It’s a fan made project meant to catch the attention of developer CyberConnect2 (CC2) in order to show them some of the Naruto community’s interest in a 2D Ultimate Ninja game for next gen consoles. Here is a teaser for the Naruto Accel 4 fan made project
I REALLY want another 2D Naruto fighter. I love the Storm games, but I'd love to see at least one more entry in the Ultimate Ninja series.
I'd do anything for an hd version of the ultimate ninja series . . With online play.
PS3Life writes about the games of Naruto ever since the Naruto-games were available.
This one is the best of the old ones I remember playing this one NON stop...3 years ago -_-
