The way the game adapts the story is admirable, though if you're already familiar with the way events play out (having read the comic or watched the show), there isn't much in the way of surprises.Īnnihilating ninja hordes is stupefyingly easy with standard chakra combos. Naruto learns of some pressing events happening in the village and elsewhere, and he immediately sets off with his teammates to try to set things right, only to get tied up in a much bigger plot that involves several different factions.

However, his dear companion Sasuke, who has defected to serve the insidious Orochimaru, is not among them. In the Ultimate Road campaign, Naruto has returned to Hidden Leaf Village after three years of intense training to be reunited with many of his friends and comrades. Ultimate Ninja Impact adapts the storyline of the most current Naruto anime series, Naruto Shippuden. Sadly, Ultimate Ninja Impact fails to capitalize on all the great things the Naruto universe has to offer.

The comics and anime series are filled with elements that can transition well to games: a huge cast of ninja characters with varied motives and personalities, an interesting fantasy setting, and, of course, lots of supernaturally powered ninjutsu battles. There's a lot of potential to make good games using the Naruto license.
