Perspective

The perspective of Naruto generations is a Battles take place in a 3D environment, and your attacks are based around a few simple combos. When you get close to your opponent, the camera pans around to mimic the 2D view of a fighting game. It’s a neat trick, and since the environments are always wide open and sparse, the automatic camera never gets stuck behind something to block your view. , which allows fighting games to be played more freely, for example older fighting games which don't have the same perspective will only allow players to move in certain places as they will move of game-play making it almost impossible to play 


Cinematic/Cut scenes


Naruto has multiple cinematic and cut scenes which are played throughout the story of the single player story mode. Story segments are told through a series of animated and static cut scenes. As you start the game, you choose from three separate story lines; The Tale of Young Naruto Uzumaki, The Tale of Sasuke Uchiha, or the Tale of Naruto Uzumaki. Each covers the events of the first few story arcs of Naruto and Shippuden. As you complete each character’s tale, you will be treated to some of the animation from the actual show. after each story mode fight when completed the game will go into a cut scene which will then move the player onto a different scene.

GAMEPLAY







  

The gameplay of Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is a 3D fighting game which allows users to move around in 3 dimension. i think that the designer has chosen to use a 3 dimensional Gameplay as it give players a understanding of what the Naruto anime series is like, which affects users by improving their gaming experience.


Interaction Model 



Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations has multiple interaction model. as it is a fighting games every character that has been listed is a playable character meaning that the interaction model of Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is good. the creator chose to select certain characters from the anime series based on the characters he/her seen best for the most modern Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations anime fighting game. however there are a few characters in the cut scenes that are not playable, as they are not relevant to the modern anime game.only choosing a certain amount of playable characters is a method the designer uses to give players something to look forward to in the sequel to the Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations anime game. 
Game Setting


The game setting for Naruto will depend on what game mode the user will play. for example if the user was to play any of the single player story mode than that user will start at a easier game setting and eventually as the game goes on the the difficulty will increase, meaning the game is harder at the end than beginning, the designer chose to use these game settings as by the end of the story mode the user will have the relevant skill to compete at the highest game difficulty level. also the game setting for online multi-player of offline multiple player can be random, as the game settings will depend on the level of skill that the person the user is fighting has, which means that all versus modes is one user fighting another and the difficulty is how good the user that you are fight is.

Goals of the game 


the goals of Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations are depending on what game mode is selected, the goals vary from defeating their opponent, in the given time or battle situation, to complete all given objectives and to unlock all characters, which is the main goal of Naruto Shippudden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations .
Player Actions
“chakra”, tai justu and “jutsu” are the three different types of attack that every playable character can use. chakra is essentially mana, jutsu are essentially magic attacks. Chakra is fuel for the jutsu. user will have two types of jutsu, attack and substitution, and each one is managed by its own meter. The substitution jutsu is a kind of defensive counter: It’s only available when you’re being attacked, and it allows you to teleport behind your opponent. You can do this four times before the meter runs out, then you have to wait for it recharge.

The attack jutsu is what actually uses up the chakra meter. You have to “load” the chakra before you can use it in an attack, and this forms the backbone of the combat. Basic actions like dodging, throwing, and attacking are pretty weak, but loading up your chakra first allows you to perform an enhanced version of each action. This quickly drains your chakra meter, but you can recharge it by holding down a button while standing still. the final player action is tai justsu, which is any martial arts combat and movement, each player has different tai justsu style depending on their trainer, but all characters move in the same dimensions, the game creator chose to give characters different styles of fighting to allow user to have a wide variety of different characters.


Narrative The story of Naruto generations is based entirely on the animated series, on previous episode, however there are multiple anime episode to watch along with the game that have never been shown anywhere else but the game. the designer chose to stick to the anime seriers for a story as it is becoming more and more popular and is one of the reason why Naruto games are top sellers.

The difficulty of Naruto generation is hard if the user is new to the game, however certain game modes difficulty will adjust to previous fight and the difficulty can also depend on who the user is playing, for example certain characters  will be a lot more difficult when fighting than others, such as Naruto will be a difficult character to fight against a weaker character.
Rewards There isn't many reward for winning battles other than money for winning which is called ninja points, which therefor can be used to purchase costumes, arenas and weapon. on story mode completion new animated videos of Naruto can be unlocked. this gives players motivation to keep playing until game completion.
