7. Naruto: The Broken Bond
One of the more overlooked instalments in the Naruto gaming world, The Broken Bond had many things going for it: the open world environment, a tag team combat system and a variety of comedic fight sequences (you must've picked up on Sarutobi's face when hit with a rasengan. No? Go and look it up). It was a game you could easily pick up and play for an hour or two in between marathon Call Of Duty sessions. However, in a dire attempt to sustain durability, the game introduced a number of mini games with little reward other than a couple of gamerpoints. Most of said mini games took place at a festival town, which in itself was redundant to the game and a colossal waste of time. These games however, had little to no relevance to the world of Naruto, let alone the storyline. The player was encouraged to waste their bank holiday Monday off school trying to catch fish just for the sake of it. Thus, the game championed a storyline that placed a great emphasis on the freedom to explore, merely to encourage such pedantic activity. If there was something to be gained by such time-wasting then perhaps we'd be more inclined to do so.
