Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations Xbox 360

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is the innovative game brought to you by CyberConnect2, which pulls together the Naruto Shippuden saga in its entirety. This adrenaline fuelled game encapsulates both of the generations played out in both of the incredible Naruto games. The younger generation of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, where Naruto is just a hot headed young kid, is merged with the second generation of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, in which Naruto is older but still as quick tempered and wild as ever.

Generations continues the tale of Naruto and his journey through life, but with a twist. This brilliant game has taken all your favourite characters from both of the previous games in the series, allowing a wide selection to choose from as for the first time ever all are playable in story mode. This means whole new worlds are now open for you to explore, as each character's own adventures are now available to play through and experience, and you can watch as they intertwine with Naruto's own story.

Alongside all of the keenly developed storyline and character plot content, the battle systems have also been revamped and upgraded to match the high degree of quality that is featured throughout the rest of Generations. The various tweaks that have been added in to the battle sequences allows both the experienced and even the beginner Naruto player to pick up the technicalities of gameplay quickly. However, despite the slight alterations, the fighting styles remain true to the traditions set within the previous Naruto games, with easy accessibility and of course, fun!

This high standard of quality is amply shown in the incredible combat breakdowns, with visually intense and exhilarating animations and cinematics. Each attack combo and various button bashing techniques play well together in order to deliver absolutely devastating attacks on your opponents, with the added help of being able to use shuriken in battle, as well as other actions including jumping. In order to truly eviscerate your foe, make sure you use the chakra energy you gain from these actions, which when built up can combine with your attacks to increase their power tenfold.

Each battle will keep you on the edge of your seat as you fight your way to the top of the Ultimate Ninja ranks, fighting against every friend and foe you have ever come across in any previous Naruto game, manga, or anime. (Cat Emerson)
