Naruto Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising

Based on the popular animated series NARUTO Shippuden from VIZ Media, players take control of more than 10 of their favorite ninja, including the fearsome Akatsuki. NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising promises wild ninja action as players relive the NARUTO Shippuden storyline and experience a brand new adventure. Naruto and his friends are in for the fight of their lives as they search for Gaara, the fifth Kazekage, who has been kidnapped by the dreaded Akatsuki organization. It's a race against time as the Akatsuki try to free Shukaku, the demon sealed inside Gaara. NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising features optimized controls for the PSP that allow for exciting, fast-paced tactical battles that make the most of each character's jutsus. Aim and time the powerful jutsu attacks with simple button commands and destroy enemies by activating hyper mode. When the characters defeat the enemies or take damage, the hyper gauge fills up, improving the jutsu or unlocking new jutsus. Players can gain an advantage in the heat of battle by selecting two support characters to form a three-man team for each mission. Use each character's different abilities and combine their attacks with yours to discover ultimate combos and defeat your opponents. NARUTO Shippuden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising features multiple game modes, including two-player cooperative play or play against each other over a local wireless ad hoc network. In original mode, players experience the Gaara rescue arc as they battle enemies in lush, anime-inspired 3D environments. Scenario mode introduces brand-new side missions where you can collect scrolls that improve your character's abilities, such as attack, defense, health, and numerous other indicators across all modes. In Akatsuki mode, for the first time you'll take control of members of the Akatsuki organization in a brand new storyline and discover the Akatsuki's true intentions, while Naruto is on a quest to find Gaara. Finally, in Versus mode you'll be able to find out who is the best ninja by competing in one-on-one battles against a friend or the computer.
