So, IGN gave broken bond an 8.3

Ultimate Ninja got an 8.4

They said that Broken Bond is the bettter version though.  Wierd, but still great scores for naruto games.  It's a darn shame ninja storm doesn't have online.  : (

So Clash of Ninja 2 got 8.2, Broken Bond got 8.3 and Ninja storm got 8.4. Good year for Naruto I guess. If only Dragon Ball Z could throw out a great game next year.

Broken Bond is definitly better. Graphics may not better but nowdays most people may more care about the Lasting Appeal(Broken Bond has online fonction and Ninja Storm doesn't have one).

Imo the only thing BB is better in is the Online function (which NS can add in a future patch) and the single player. Ninja Storm has the best fighting out of any Naruto game; though it still has some major flaws that they should really fix soon.

Yeah that's your opinion. But even if Ninja Storm had online I'd never buy it since I don't like 3D fights. I stopped to play dragon balls game since developpers decided to make it on 3D fights -_-.

I never said I expected anything, all i said is that they can put online if they wanted. Besides there putting free costumes and character dowloads every month, thats pretty big.

Well im not a big fan of 3d fighters either (usually 3d fighters are way to casual friendly for my tastes) but games like Naruto/DBZ and such are not meant to be this serious competitive game series. There just made to look flashy and to be fun.

I do admit that Broken bonds fighting is better then ROAN. It feels less cheap,but NUNS feels more smooth. BB feels more stiff to me. BB characters also looks stiff compared to NUNS. Both games are good,but my vote goes to NUNS. I feel it captures the anime more,but I will say at least BB has dam cutscenes.

So Clash of Ninja 2 got 8.2, Broken Bond got 8.3 and Ninja storm got 8.4. Good year for Naruto I guess. If only Dragon Ball Z could throw out a great game next year.SMR-Venom

Well DBZ is trash in general, although I loved it as a kid it just doesn't have enough depth and individuality to be good. Heck, all the character moves could be the same with different name/colors. 

Naruto's concept has a lot more room for developers to explore.

Wow your kidding me right? You'd have to be a pretty thick-headed fanboy to not see how amazing the graphics are in UNS. That's like someone saying Gears 2 graphics fail in comparison to PDZ.

You loss all credibility thinking the graphics of UNS are 'crap'.

I much prefer N:UNS fughting system, it's infinitely more fun. However, I -really- do wish that it had an Online component. The VS is absolutely amazing, and hopefully it would translate well to online... Unlikely it'll happen tho, however, I suppose they could sell it as DLC in the future.

BUt as it stands, UNS>BB for me.

comparing BB to UNS, is like comparing PDZ to BioShock. just because a game has more features on papaer, does not make it better.  

UNS has better graphics, better presentation, better animation and most importantly, better gameplay. other than online, there is nothing BB has over UNS. also, story mode (which is still weak)

BB is stiff, combat is weak, everything is a mini game. also its a fighting game, one is made by Namco and the other is made by Ubisoft. that alone makes a huge difference

Is it the same reviewer?

I'm pretty sure they use different teams for the systems. They have ps3 team, 360 team and wii team.

That's one of the reasons why Guitar Hero: world tour got better score on the Wii.

"that's it"? That's a deal-breaker for me. Fighting games with no online and no real story mode don't have any sort of lasting appeal. Rise of a Ninja was a great mix of combat and adventure game rolled into one.

then you are not a fighting game fan. its like shooter fan not buying BioShock because BioShock does not have online play then buys PDZ because it has.

gameplay matters the most, especially when its in the fighting genre. UNS fighting mechanics/gameplay > than BB's. in fact, there is no comparison. 

but if you are going to buy a 'broken' fighter just because it has online play, then, I'm sorry to say, you have to sort out your priorities.

BB's focus lies in the adventuring, that's why it's better. UNS's focus lies in the fighting, therefor, it's better.

I really cant believe people are actually comparing BB to UNS. honestly, you have to be a 360-only owner to think BB is better than NUNS. I have played both, well to be fair, I played the BB demo and the full NUNS game.

seriously look at this BB vid, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=FvQ4gIsL_Wo

please look at the move at 1:50, you will lol.

also, if anyone is interested, I've uploaded a 100% save for NUNS EU version at gamefaqs.

it is a great game. but due to this modern gamers, where they want everything to have some sort of online mode. they underscored NUNS. dude, forget about internet reviews, play the demo, if you like it, purchase it, if you dont, dont purchase it. its that simple. stop letting reviews (a random guy's opinion) affect your decisions.

wow, so many reactions from a naruto game.

MEH.

looks awesome UNS, that's about it.

it's just disappointing, that after so many naruto games, they still are sticking to the old younger characters.

i'd have prefered the characters on shippuden, now THATS the naruto i want.

You are correct, I am not a fan of fighting games whose sole purpose is for playing by yourself against the computer, or playing when friends are over. In versus matches. That sounds extremely boring to me and rather half-assed. However, I disagree with your Bioshock analogy. There is so much content in that game that it is an excellent game to play on your own, for many hours without getting bored. A fighting game with no real story mode and no online is the complete opposite.. it's only worthwhile if you have friends over constantly to play the game.

My priorities are properly sorted.. I like playing fun games on my own, or playing the occasional match online. With Ninja Storm you'd have to have a circle of friends that practice and play the game regularly with each other to get the most out of it, which is not for everyone.
