....They are different type of Games, but I played the Demo of Ninja Storm..

Naruto:Ultimate Ninja Storm FTW!!! Too bad it wont have Online play

 

 Actually, both games are fairly similar. They both have fighting and adventuring/exploration scenarios, it's just that Ninja Storm focuses more on the fighting aspect while Broken Bond focuses more on the adventuring/exploration aspect.

The gameplay I have seen from BB seems like a decent adventure/platform game, but as a Naruto game, that aspect of the game fails so hard.

Naruto has to cross a bridge rigged with explosives instead of just walking on the water.

Naruto and his squad has to make it across a river, but there is a gate! The gate can only be opened from within the city they are trying to enter, so Naruto makes a bridge of shadowclones (instead of just walking over the water and standing on the small piece of soil outside the gate) so Shikamaru (who is in the squad...) can pull the lever with his shadow. WTF? Since when could Shikamaru control levers with his shadow?!

And also, the cel shaded characters (who don't look that good on their own), look really out of place with the realistic environments.

And then there was a video of a cinematic leading up to the fight with Tsunade/Orochimaru/Jiraiya, and it honestly leaves the impression that they are trying to redo the manga, not the anime... The animations are that stiff...

Here's the proof for everything Rainbrid said :

Thanks, those were the exact videos I've seen

One thing I forgot to mention about BB are those sound illustrations that are used in the fights... WTF? We don't need illustrations to tell us what we are hearing in a videogame

And I will most definetly buy UNS, the demo was quite fun. And even if the game turns out to be shit, I will buy it anyway to support the awesome cel-shading
