Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles is simple, but can seem generic and reptitive. The gamepaly and fights can get fun though.

Most Anime and Manga fans have a number of favorite characters or shows/manga, one of mine is Naruto. I was so excited when Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles was going to be released, the graphics looked formidable, and the gameplay looked fun. The game designers for this game were trying to experiment with a slightly different Naruto game, notice how this Naruto wasn't a fighting game, it was also adventure and it even contained some RPG factors when the player customized Naruto's abilities. The game was addicting at first, but soon, the game seemed too generic and even repetitive, the fighting environments were not very diverse and difference, and the "fighting game feeling" came to me (I am not a huge fan of fighting games), although I had tons of fun collecting all of the skill plates and finding different combos to fit every possible ability, the fighting and gameplay itself got boring. I was slightly disappointed with this game, but the story plot was generally fun, although it was slightly different from the manga. In conclusion, Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles was very fun and customizable, but the fighting got very generic and repetitive.
