We return to Hidden Leaf Village and brush up on our Jutsu in Namco Bandai's upcoming Naruto game for the PlayStation Portable
Naruto Uzumaki may look a bit more grown up in the Shippuden series, but he's still the same brash character that left Hidden Leaf Village two and a half years ago. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 tells the story of the young spiky-haired ninja who has returned to his village, only to realize that everyone else has risen in rank while he was off training. Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 for the PlayStation Portable mixes good old-fashioned brawls and side-scrolling missions with a solid line-up of all your favorite characters from the Naruto universe.
One of the features of the game is the Master Road, a story-driven experience that will take you through the Naruto Shippuden storyline up to the Hidan and Kakuzu arc. The story follows Naruto on his ongoing adventure to save his friend Sasuke, but it starts off with Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi teaming up to rescue Gaara from the Akatsuki. In Master Road, the missions, as well as story events, are represented by squares and connected on a path that can also split off. You don't necessarily have to complete everything, but you earn ninja points each time you complete a mission. Ninja points can be spent to purchase tactics, collectables, and ninjutsu moves, which you'll come across during your travels. Tactics are enhancements that you can tack onto yourself before you start a mission to give yourself the upper hand. You can only choose one, though, so there's a little bit of strategy in figuring out what would work best in the given situation, such as greater jumping power or increased speed. Collectables like pictures, music, and ultimate jutsu movies can also be purchased with NPs, as well as viewed in Naruto's home. Additional ninjutsu moves can be bought, but they're only available for use in Free Battle mode.
