NARUTO GENERATIONS XBOX 360 SERIES

Overall itвЂ™s a nice mix that the simple buttons and strategy elements present and it helps make this game all the more enjoyable.ДЄs I have mentioned in past fighting game reviews, games in this genre really shine in the world of multiplayer, and Generations is no different. And when I was able to open up my own can of whoop-ass, I really felt like it was due to my ability to think on my feet, and not just press buttons.

Should I have met my untimely demise it was not because of a lack of pulling off a string of button presses, but more of not using the right strategy at the right time, as my opponent just plain got the upper hand on me. I consider myself an average to above average skilled gamer, and given how the game is designed to play, I found that was able to hold my own. You have to think more rather then focus on learning button combos. There is no doubt that many of you fighting game fans out there are saying, вЂњthis is strategy used in all fighting gamesвЂќ, and yes I do admit it is, but given how simple the moves are this strategy is the most important aspect of the game as you canвЂ™t rely on one uber-move to best your opponent. Learning when to evade, when to charge, and when to launch one of your powerful moves is all more important then learning to press an insane amount of buttons to pull of one single move. Strategy plays a part in such that you need to learn the intricacies of your character and the fight at hand. Sure, this may reward button mashers now and then, but when you look past the simple button presses you see a game that offers a lot more strategy. Buttons are not overly complex, and there is no need to learn finger numbing button combinations.

The single player narrative is broken into a series of individual stories where each player you use has their own story that intertwines with the overall scope of the whole game, including more importantly their own interactions with Naruto himself.ДЄt its core Generations is fighter, but it is one that allows both those who are casual fans and those who like to learn the intricacies of the game to enjoy it. And given how much depth the whole series represents, and that the game itself is only a bit of the whole universe, itвЂ™s pretty well done. I think fans of the series, and anime fans alike, will enjoy the mix of presentation styles. The narrative is told through anime inspired cut-scenes and static images with some very good voice over work. Given my lack of knowledge of this long running anime series I was worried I would be lost in this world, but even though I am not the most knowledgeable I still was able to enjoy the characters and narrative that goes along with them. Generations keeps to the Storm Series of Naruto games, as it is a fighting game set in the Naruto universe.
