Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising
SCORE: 61
Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising is one of the strangest Playstation Portable (PSP) games I have ever played. It is a Naruto based video game where Naruto is coming back to the village after training. This hand held video game has the player fighting on screens against various enemies. Beat up enough bad guys, and your character gets to level up. Plenty of skills can be learned. The typical Naruto humor is contained within Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising. My experience is people either love or hate it. The main theme is pretty anti-male.
There are a wide array of colors in Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising. There are certain female characters that are dressed in a disrespectful manner. The core of Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising is the fighting. This is not a fighting game, at least not in the since the video game industry is used to. More like an explorative hack and slash that includes level ups. Some of the special skills have some impressive effects. The graphics for many of the enemies are re-used. The cel shading style of art needs to be upgraded in my opinion.
Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising has some cool music and special effects that come from the Orient. I enjoyed these sounds in this game. Men are insulted in Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising as being clueless in terms of women. Their comments are meant to be humorous, however I would think at some point they would learn from their mistakes. Characters also mildly insult one another in this PSP game.
Namco Bandai included a nice stable of characters in Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising. There are also some new and hidden characters that will interest hardcore Naruto fans. Only one player can play this game, however there is a Wi-Fi Ad Hoc mode. Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising has a gracious length to the story. Gamers should play this PSP game for a few weeks at least.
Running around the areas in Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising controls great. The problem is seeing the enemies at times. The camera movement in this arena can be a pain, which leads to getting hit. There are a lot of attacks in Naruto Shippuden Legends Akatsuki Rising, but the violent action can get boring. At least I got bored with it. The storyline breaks up the action, and there were quite a few times I was rushing through the fighting portion to get to the storyline section.
Naruto Shippuden Legends
Akatsuki Rising teaches players to fight against evil, and use violence
to solve the problems. There is also an emphasis on training, and
improving oneself. The mystical ninja stuff was not my thing. I know
that is part of the Naruto franchise. I applaud Namco Bandai for trying
something different with this franchise.
