View Full Version : Naruto Ninja Storm
I was fiddling with my PS3 today and found this demo, I went re-played it and once again my jaw dropped.
Anyone else with a PS3 simply HAS to download this demo :P
I'm not the biggest naruto fan anymore, and Rise of a Ninja on 360 utterly sucked, but this game is seriously fantastic. Its fairly hard to describe the combat, but it looks pretty much as if you're just playing an anime episode (without the 40 minute descriptions of each move -_-)
I'll go look it up for release dates and progress >_> but yes, if you have a PS3 I highly recommend you download this :3

Woah there, woah. Rise of a Ninja was a pretty good game.
What little I've seen of Ninja Storm didn't look that interesting, seemed abit all over the place.
I dont own a PS3 but from what I've seen of the game it looks awesome, those cel shaded graphics look lovely. However its not a reason for me to own a PS3 but I do hope that Namco will do to this what they did with Tekken 6 and bring it to the 360 as well as the PS3.

Its one player mode was uber repetitive, and online was ruined due to the characters being so easy to exploit and spam. Plus you only got like 6 characters? and had to pay for more?
I liked it, but it wasn't a great game...
Hopefully Ninja Storm will remain exclusive "xD and have trophies, that'd be nice, its essentially the PSP Naruto games on a 3D plane.

Yea but atleast it was something other than a fighter.
Isn't the PSP Naruto a toned down version of Ultimate Ninja?

Can't say I've played those ones :3
The PSP version of naruto was rubbish though...fun, but the one button combat really pissed me off, seemed to work much better on PS3 through, maybe just because you get to run around.

One button combat? Yea Ultimate Ninja. I liked those games so I might enjoy this one, but I'm not a massive fan of 3D fighters.

I agree with you with the irritating spamming online, and the lack of playable characters was annoying (Yet they still let Rock-Bloody-Lee be one of them! :mad: I would've much preferred Hinata, she's one of the few characters who don't annoy the poop out of me) But I quite enjoyed the Single player mode; okay it was short and not that challenging, but I liked the idea of being able to roam freely through Konoha and the surrounding areas, it made it nice for exploration.

There's an 'adventure' mode in this upcoming game, maybe the same as in Rise of a Ninja? (or hopefully better?)
I used to love the onlone modes ^^ the tree was addictive, and once you got good, it was funny to hear people cry when their spamming moves wouldn't work.

No have PS3. Not able to play. Therefore, not able to enjoy.

Tis a shame :3
I'm not sure of the prices these days...mine was like 300...there's a new 80GB, problem is the 360 priced at like £90 :o
If the Adventure mode is anything like Ultimate Ninja 2 (which it probably is) it wont be anywhere near as good.

Can't seem to find information on which part of the manga it covers though.
I don't know any of the support characters, only ever really got to Orochimaru before getting bored ^^"
The list is pretty good though, better yet, we have Hinata! XD Oh how jealous Mr Kaito shall be >:3
Glad to hear there's a free running mission mode too, that should increase the longevity :)
But I now hate you Reknoc....why oh why did you tell me the release date? T_T now within the space of weeks there's Naruto, LittlebigPlanet, Mirror's Edge, Gears 2....damn! ><
I'm relying on Lovefilm >_> I can't afford any game right now
^^ BWAHAHAHAHAAAA
Though the the storylines from the game are based on the first 135 episodes of the anime series, the producers picked out the key areas within the 135, so that it forms a line across from the first to the 135th.
Well ok. Does that cover the whole series before the time skip, not including the shitty filler?
That could either mean its botched together fighting Neji, Gaara, etc...or it means we get those big fights, a good backstory and no running around doing sexy poses to villagers :rolleyes:

A good backstory would be impossible on any game based on Naruto.
It'll probably have all of Naruto's main fights plus some filler ones.

Lol, well I suppose that's true :P
A little off-topic, but is there any news on a DBZ:Burst Limit 2? That game seriously rocked.

No, but I bet there will be one. Hopefully when they do the next one it covers the entire series both original and Z, of course I hope for this each game.

Well she was in the original Ultimate Ninja on PS2 so I was expecting her to be in this one too. I was damn good with her too!
*Is annoyed* This is looking better than the 360 game...

It is indeed :D
Eh, can't say the same. Why haven't they released Ultimate Ninja 3 over here yet? :(

For once portuguese players didn't get screwed. Ultimate Ninja 3 was released here around two weeks ago. I'm kinda surprised the game didn't reach England.

Wikipedia says otherwise!
England on September 26, 2008 (Though has only been found in select few stores)
That's cool, no really, what are the select few stores though? :( Guh, bad memories of One Piece Grand Battle's Virgin Megastore exclusivness.
After some tough detectiving (instead of real work) I have found out that both play.com and amazon have it (though amazon say out of stock) and GAME and gamestation have it listed on their site but as preorder =/. But! Luckily I get out of work early today soooo, I can have a quick snoop around shops.
