Re: Is generations worth buying?
If you have Storm 1 (meaning a PS3) and Storm 2, then you really dont NEED this game ASAP. I have an xbox, so this game was highly anticipated for me. I definetly WOULD get the game regardless though, but if you own Storm 1, then wait for a price drop. Similar to Storm 2, the story mode is split into different character stories, but there are now more of them (about 11 campaigns) and they are more split up.
For example: Part 2 Naruto's story. One of the first battles in the story it skips - Sakura vs Sasori. HOWEVER this is because the campaign is NARUTO's, therefor you only play what he experienced. The fight is NOT forgotten however, because one campaign features the Akatsuki in general, so you do play the fight but as Sasori as oppose to Sakura.
For every campaign there is a [roughly] 5 min anime sequence before and after, with the exception of Part 2 Naruto and Sasuke, who only have it at the end. The campaign plays like this: Anime cutscene, still frame story, fight, still frame story, fight, etc, cutscene, the end; for all 11 campaigns. This doesnt sound like much, but trust me it is very enjoyable. Now thats just the campaign, in addition to this there are a ton more online modes available, including tournaments (4-8 players ranked battles, 1v1 at a time), a new training mode (not online, but you can modify anything in this mode like starting in awakening and lasting forever in it), survival (how long you can last against an endless 1v1 match with only a single thing of health), and others.
Like I said, if you dont have Storm 1, pick it up for 60 bucks, if you do wait for a price drop but get it non the less.
