Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes

THE BAD:
-to short
-bit repettitive(sorry bout the spelling)
-bit simplistic
-not enough stuff to do/unlock

SUMMARY:
The games is fairly simple its your basic fighting(mortal kombat) game. There are a few different modes which are slightly different. The actualy gameplay is also very simplistic with the circle button attacking, square to throw shuriken, triangle to use their special technique and x to jump. The different modes are as follows, heroes mode, vs cpu, mission mode(its called something different just cant remember it now), parameter power up, wireless mode and finally options. also the music in game is very good.

ok now to wach mode starting with heroes mode - heroesmode is where u make a party of 2 or 3 characters, then you must deafeat a series of stages each containing 2 or 3 characters, once each stage is complete points are awarded to the characters used, extra points can be acquired by completing the achievements given before each stage. More on points later. Once you are at the last stage you will then come to the final stage where depending which difficulty you are currently in(this will also determine how many stages there are easy = 5 stages, normal = 6, hard = 7, and insane = 8 stages) you will fight one or more of the unlockable characters(not telling whothey are cause whats the fun in that). Once completed you unlock the character(s) and the next difficulty, plus depending again which diffuculty you will accquire a number of different scrolls.

Vs cpu mode is just battling the computr on a head to head battle. You can also use your customised characters in it more on them later. Also if you defeat your opponent you get some points as well(not much though). Also you get 4 gold scrolls.

Now to Mission mode this onvoles goin up in ranks from genin all the way to Hokage, it involves colllecting scrolls from Heroes mode and vs cpu(you need so many to start one of the missions). ok once you have enough scrolls you select one of the rankings (RANK D,C,B etc) then i each rank there are so many missions. Each mission involves sparring with one of the characters(you can use one of ur custom characters) and defeat your opponent. But theres a twist you must do it while obliging to the rules. There are certain requirement for each mission and they get harder all the way up to Hokage. You also get points for the character you use.

Parameter power up is where you utilise all those points you acquired through the previous modes. in this mode you upgrade your attack, deffense, speed, charkra, stamina and ninjutsu(kinda sucks there arent any kool moves to unlock ike in dbz). ok so each one does a different thing and most are self explanitory like attack, defense, speed and chakra. Stamina is how long an effect from an item last(forgot abou that there are different shuriken etc you can pick up and through some so status alignments, poison, chakra seal, att down etc.) ok so each u ca upgrade 5 times and each time you upgrade it costs more points(there is a limit as well its like 12000 and it doesnt allow you to completly upgrade everything, im not completly sure but quite certain thats the case). These custom characters, and i use that term loosley can be used i vs cpu andmission mode, and i think wirelessly as well.

ok in wireless mode i hav only played with game sharing which u can use whatever characters you have unlocked but can only fight in the ichu ramen shop(cant spell) but no custom characters, havnt tried any of the other things in it, sorry.

ok now to options, pretty standard. pick diffuculty and how loud everything is thats bout it.

So overall a pretty good game...more fun with other ppl...repettitive, butwhat games isnt, basic but you can just pick it up and go lol. so worth a look if you like naruto or just wana good button masher. but still worth a look.

hope that helps, my first review lemme know what you think.
