This is the first Naruto game I’ve played, so my point of reference to its past is considerably limited by that, but if the Dragon Ball Z games are anything to go by, and from what I can tell they are, the additions this game introduces are minimal to most, but extremely welcome amongst the games followers. On it’s surface, and in many ways, it is a fantastic little game, however it hobbles itself somewhere along the way. Developed by CyberConnect2 and published by Bandai Namco, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja STORM Revolution, which rabid dogs couldn’t keep me from simply referring to as “Naruto” or “this/the game” from this point onwards, is a fighting game that is most appropriately compared to the Dragon Ball Z series than it is to, say, Namco’s own Tekken franchise.
