A Fool's Errand Platform: PS3
Completion: Platinum
Graphics: Great
Sound: Good
Story: Good
Bugs: Some
Frustration: VIOLENT
Replay Value: Some
Verdict: Don't Bother
This game was just about what I expected it to be. The story mode, which has some pretty graphics and is fun enough if you are a fan of Naruto, is for the most part a cheap rpg. You waste tons of time running around, talking, opening then closing menus and collecting things that you don't really ever need. It covers the story pretty good and I really liked the quick time event fights for boss battles. The fighting was a lot of fun, but you have the typical AI that cheats and moves that only seem to work properly for the opponents.
Overall the game was pretty fun for a fan of the series, unless.......
Getting the platinum in this game was the most frustrating one yet. They just made you waste time for most of them, I finished the game like 3 weeks ago but just now got the trophies done.
The online mode killed what fun this game did have. You have the usual quitters, the cheaters (lagswitches), the trash "pros" who just pick the cheapest characters and win all day for no reason etc. The ranked matches don't matter since you can pick who you fight and quit if you start to lose.
The worst part was the matchmaking. This game has some terrible design for menus and too much loading, no excuse for it now days. You wait for it to find sessions, by the time you get to one its full and then it kicks you back to the menu to search again instead of letting you try a different person, or you get stuck transmitting. In 20 minutes you might get one or two 50 second matches and when you need 50 wins (looked like just 10, but they hid more in the titles you have to get.....) you are in for a long, frustrating, annoying, anger filled experience that might cost you a few controllers.
With the new game out already, don't bother with this. From what I hear it has the same matchmaking, but you don't need it for the platinum.
