GamingUnion.net: "Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles is quite a unique title in the long-running console Naruto video game franchise. Unlike most of the other games, which are generally fighting games or action-adventure games based on the storyline, Dragon Blade Chronicles goes out on its own path with its very own storyline and approach. However, if previous Naruto games are any reference, even when a game follows the storyline verbatim, there's still the chance that the game might still be bad regardless. Does Dragon Blade Chronicles fall under this premise, or is this a title which uses its unique aspects to good use?"
"We see great spinoffs all the time in video games. Wario, for instance was a spinoff character from Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins where he played a villain. From there Wario has starred in his own series that shadowed Mario's portable outings for quite a while. Then there are cases the spinoff was never called for like Sub-Zero Mythologies."
man sonic spinball used to be so tuff for me back in the day. I never made it past lvl 3
Sonic Spinball was weird lol
and so is Pokemon Pinball
what's with all these weird pinball games
The Naruto franchise has good games; it may be hard to fathom, but there are a few (with a stress on the word few) great games based on the popular Shonen Jump series. Naruto Shippuden Dragon Blade Chronicles is not one of them
Japan's substitute for a Clash of Ninja release last year. What a shame it turned out so poorly. There's potential for a Naruto action/adventure game (as shown by some others in the franchise) but apparently this one didn't turn out so well.
That score hurts. "Believe it!" >_____<
Actually its the substitute the ultimate ninja series. Naruto Accel 2 was the best naruto fighting game.
Well Tomy is a subsidiary of Index and you know of the Atlus + Index merger?
I would highly assume Index just made either Atlus publish it under their name or that Atlus USA had to do the whole localization work :(
GamingExcellence - Naruto isn't always trying to bring back rogue ninjas to his village or avoiding organizations trying to rip out the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox that is inside him. Sometimes, he just has to save the world from being destroyed by giant elemental dragons.
Too bad the game's blade wasn't sharp enough.
