Well first article and i had problems but here it is. Since I'm a Shonen Jump subcriber i get my copy before it hits the stores. And in this month's it had a small article on Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 for the Xbox360. The article supplied detailed explanations of the game's mechanics.
Now for those Naruto fans and you otaku, there is a guaranteed OVER 40 CHARACTERS.[/U] That's right double the last games amount. Based on this info I'm guessing that the pre-shippuden era charcters might be available; but along the same guessing i would hypothesize that the Akatsuki members will go to at least hidan and kakuzu. This guessing is from one of the attachments i have included which includes Naruto attacking sasuke with his Rasen-Shuriken- obtained during the Hidan & Kakuzu saga. And the time between the first episode and the death of Hidan is a great gap explaning why there will be over 40 Characters.
Now in the previous game, there was a mechanic called Awakening mode. You can compare this Awakening mode to the Rage mode from Ubisoft's Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. But unlike the Rage mode you needed to meet certain requirements in battle to activate Awakening mode. This game improves on that and does what i call a last ditch effort against your opponent, like the Rage mode but hopefully easier to keep and more...satisfying.
Again like the recent Ubisoft game Naruto The Broken Bond you have support characters. But unlike NtBB the support character are excatly support character- it adds a bit of technically offensive strategy to the battle as seen in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aku26MHxjJ4( srry i dont know how to have that link where u click like one word and it takes you there T_T. so copy and paste- its in german..i think. You could skip the cutscences but that'll ruin the moment). With Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 the support characters, will be reformatted so you can use them defensively easier.
Now along with over 40 characters and support characters( you can choose any character as support or your player, cept doubles; so no super Triple Gaara team), multiplyer must be awesome. Well as far as i know it's sortof a step down from Naruto The Broken Bond- but for awesomeness you usually have to give up awesomeness. In the broken there were multiplayer squad battles where there could be 3 players vs 3 players; In Naruto Storm it's one-on-one with support AIs.
The last thing of my News article, is the story/single player mode. From one of my attachments you can see that there is the SAKURA+CHIYO VS SASORI AND HIS 100 PUPPETSfight. If you saw the anime, you know its epic, and this game is perfect for this as displayed in this boss fight from the previous game-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahRG1SKnqCI and this famous boss fight that everyone should know from the broken bond(Vid's Ultimate Storm)-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRGZnRVASBE. But away from the boss fights, the Naruto world should feel familiar to those who have played the Ubisoft Narutos, but you will feel more awestruck as you go through villages and towns in a 1:1 ratio, which i believe means that the city will be big or small based on Naruto and the place he's in.One thing that is not in any of the ubisoft games is the ability in this game to clash Jutsus. So instead of seeing chidori vs rasengan YOU decides who wins.
Welp thanks for reading and I might be doing more articles, so look towards the future and i hope the attachments and URL's come through well.
