Like the show, Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles has a lot of exposition. Sure, you'll do plenty of fighting, too, but playing through the first hour or so of the adventure feels a lot like watching an episode of the show -- with fighting often taking a back seat to the storytelling. But hey, if that's your cup of tea -- and if you're reading this it probably is -- then you have a lot to be excited for.
"We see great spinoffs all the time in video games. Wario, for instance was a spinoff character from Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins where he played a villain. From there Wario has starred in his own series that shadowed Mario's portable outings for quite a while. Then there are cases the spinoff was never called for like Sub-Zero Mythologies."
The Naruto franchise has good games; it may be hard to fathom, but there are a few (with a stress on the word few) great games based on the popular Shonen Jump series. Naruto Shippuden Dragon Blade Chronicles is not one of them
Japan's substitute for a Clash of Ninja release last year. What a shame it turned out so poorly. There's potential for a Naruto action/adventure game (as shown by some others in the franchise) but apparently this one didn't turn out so well.
That score hurts. "Believe it!" >_____<
