Game: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm

[NM]

This one is shaping up to be really nice. Really got interested in it straight from the first "Naruto PS3 Project" trailer. If it's going from the beginning all the way to the Sasuke Retrieval arc, I'd say thats a pretty decent amount to go up to. If anything, it beats out the Clash of Ninja Revolution roster for the Wii. That was my first Clash of Ninja and I was so disappointed in the roster, especially when I looked up the rosters on the other CoN's and saw that they were much bigger and had a better variety of characters (which I still don't understand why Tomy didn't include in the Wii game).

I didn't hear anything about the downloadable characters but if that's the case, then all the better.

And the graphics really do look like the anime.

Been following this game for some time, was a bit disapointed that rise of a ninja for 360 were not coming to ps3 but seems we ps3 owners will get our own. The cell shading really looks top notch, from what i've seen it almost looks like you're playing the anime.

Well... Rise of the Ninja is exclusive to Xbox, just like Clash of the Ninja is to Nintendo.

The Ultimate Ninja series are the exclusive one for the Sony systems... and as you can notice... the 3 series are done by different companies. CyberConnect2 is a personal favorite of mine thanks to the hack series.

One thing about the supposed 25 characters...

If the game follows the story all the way to the Sasuke retrieval arc... which characters are cut out? We have 15 'rookies' (Kakashi's team, Asuma's Team, Kurenai's Team and the Sand Team), Kakashi, the 3 sannin, the Sound Five, Kabuto, Sandaime, Zabuza, Haku, Itachi and Kisame... thats 30 characters... if those with not important battles are cut out... then who gets out?... Tenten? Ino? Shino? Kankurou? I hope the download rumor is right... but that its cheap as well.
