Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes Game Review For The PSP

The naruto anime fanbase went wild when this game came out on the PSP but was it really worth the hype?

Well, to start with the pros, the controls were by far the easiest of any first-person fighting game on this console, notorious for being harder to play games on, than its not-so-portable counterparts, due to its lack of an analog stick. The game, however, takes an EXTREMELY, long time to load which just isn’t good enough when, as gamers, we are inherently impatient. Ironically, the game-play itself is smooth and simple, running quickly and allowing for the fast-paced action we’ve come to expect from this game.

Success in the game depends, mainly, on chakra, just like the series. You amass chakra points when you successfully attack your opponent(physically) and they drop little orbs that recharge it. When you have enough chakra, you press the button to perform an attack, at which point you need to make physical contact with your foe to successfully complete the move. This might be a good time to mention one of the downsides to this game, while the special move scenes are EPIC, they take you, completely, out of the action(a fault it shares with a lot of games like DragonBall Z) while your enemy’s life takes a huge hit.

One improvement, though some disagree, that this game has over its predecessors is the presence of team action. Not only is it present but it’s all but necessary to complete Heroes Mode. Your choice of team will also affect the power-ups, bonuses, and other niceties available to you throughout the game. For fights, you can choose the order in which your team members fight. This is important, because your team’s chakra and health are carried over, requiring you to think carefully about your team management – strategy bonus!

Another cool feature is that, in heroes mode, it’s possible to earn stat bonuses, and such, which are used to power-up your characters. Unfortunately, these have no effect on those used in Heroes Mode, but only in other parts of the game. Still, it’s pretty nice as it incorporates the constant progression factor, associated with the addictive nature of RPG games.

All in all, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes for PSP is a decent port of a console game to a hand-held. Most of the features remain, while some new ones were added(most notably the highly-anticipated team mode). Though, its flaws are many, Naruto games can rely, as always, on the millions of faithful Naruto fans to keep it popular.
