A lack of anti-aliasing hurts the character models, but the spirited animation and gorgeous, over-the-top anime effects make rewards out of even the weakest attacks. The frenzied battles revel in a disregard for realism, brought to life with some of the best cel-shaded art I've seen in a game. It's not the deepest set of rules, but there's a good breadth of strategies (and, admittedly, some obvious points of imbalance) across the 40+ playable characters. You can call up to two partner characters into battle, where they'll occupy your enemy or briefly defend you, or you can expend smaller amounts of chakra to enhance your projectiles or provide a burst of speed. Battles boil down to exciting surgical strikes, interrupting your opponent's charging while generating distance enough for you to build up your own meter. There's a liberating freedom of movement in Ninja Tornado Fight's large arenas, and dodging projectiles and keeping your distance from your nemesis is vital while you build up chakra. In order to perform devastating special attacks, you need to charge up your chakra (magic) bar first - but you need to stand still for that. There's an interesting wrinkle in blocking, with a well-timed pull of the trigger allowing you to teleport out of your opponent's combo and follow up from behind, but the real challenge lies in interrupting the other player's rhythm. For instance, there's only one melee attack button, and pushing it repeatedly will deliver an impressive string of punches, kicks and fireballs with minimal mental expenditure.
%Gallery-97853% Ninja Tornado Fight's appeal lies in its simplicity, though it could be seen as shallowness in comparison to more technical fighters. Just pretend it's called Ninja Tornado Fight. Fans tuned in to keywords like chakra, Rasengan and Orochimaru will be more invested in the story, and everyone else will find some way to survive a fighting game without being ensconced in the narrative. If you manage to get past the cover (featuring Naruto and his friend-turned-rival Sasuke, by the way), you'll find an energetic and accessible adventure that respectfully harnesses its source material, without locking out newcomers. Oh, and there's a "2" in the title, so now I can't follow because I don't know what happened in Gibberish 1. " Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja: Storm 2," with its awkward colon placement, speaks to fans of the serialized manga and its long-running anime adaptation so fluently, it sounds like gibberish to anyone else. There's only one staunch barrier to entry with this game, and it's right on the front of the box.
