CheatCC says, "Although Naruto games on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 have improved over time, the reverse is true of the Wii games. While the early Clash of Ninja titles on the platform weren't terrible, they definitely lacked that certain something when it came to battle system depth and originality. Still, after a handful of titles, I was hoping that the tide had turned in the Naruto franchise. Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles promises a new story and an immersive battle system, but all this title really gives you is a nearly-broken combat system, ugly visuals, and a forgettable story."
"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!" >_____<
GamingExcellence - Naruto isn't always trying to bring back rogue ninjas to his village or avoiding organizations trying to rip out the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that is inside him. Sometimes, he just has to save the world from being destroyed by giant elemental dragons.
