Reviews for VZ Series:Naruto V Sasuke

[Shanus]

Classily done

I quite liked this, simple but having a bit of complexity.

The graphics were good but limited in animation as they were sprite sets. But excellently done sprites. Really well animated. I didn't like the whole conversation aspect, quite hard to read. But overall quite good.

The sound was spot on nicely intense and fitting with the movie. Really liked the Japaneses over the talking fitted well.

Overall a very goos sprite flash, one of the best Naruto ones I've seen. But the file size does need to be worked on, other than that. Great job :D

Thank You...I was trying to find ways to optimize it...hopefully I will find out how to lower it

It was OK

i dont like sprite flashes, i dont like them at all, for me to like a sprite animation they have to be pretty damn fucking fantastic. Unfortunately for you, this wasnt anything special. You could have been slightly more original with the storyline, rather than having the typical Sasuke vs Naruto fight.

Graphically it wasnt terrible, the sprites looked good and i havent seen those sprites before. Where did you get them? You really need to work on your backgrounds and scenery as they sort of sucked balls a bit. The mountain faces looked like they were just copy pasta'd into there. The animtion was pretty smooth, and i liked the animation when they transformed.

The sound was ok, the Japanese voices annoyed the fuck out of me though so you lose marks for that, maybe next time you could do voice acting as i didnt have time to read the dialogue at the top of the flash. The audio and the sound effects were pretty good though.

Overall it was ok, not fantastic but ok, not good enough to grab my attention. However i did like the choose your path thing at the end, nice addition. Maybe make some more of these.

Nice endings

The one thing that really gets to me with the flash movies of this type is that there is no voice acting. It's such a simple addition and it's easily overlooked. You've put in so much dialogue here that it needs to be read out, rather than forcing the viewer to read it all for themselves.

I like how you've put the subtitles in one place, as it makes it easier to read - now all you need to do is tone down the font you chose for them, as it can be quite difficult to recognise certain letters in a short amount of time.

You've manipulated the sprites quite well and have written a decent plot for it. I would suggest that you have a scene selector, so that you can view the alternative endings, rather than just throwing us back in to watch the rest of the movie over and over again.

I liked the battle effects, with the swirling energy around both Sasuke and Naruto, it worked well with the rest of it and was definately your best piece of animation.

Okay

It wasn't too bad in terms of putting the sprites together to work and the sound was mostly decent quality but it could have been better. The layout was probably not so good though, the text was most of the time hard to read, you could improve that by having a solid colour for the text to be on and a simple font, nothing fancy, fancy is often hard to read.

At times some of the images seemed to be streached, like the background, that looked streached to me. Though the use of animations from the anime, although cheating did kind of work, so thats one slightly good point. The choice of endings was a good idea and the replay going back to the choice screen.

One other thing I will mention, the flicking back and forth on the sprite faces doesn't really work because it looks very pixilated. But otherwise, not too bad.

2/5

Thank but I don't understand what you mean when you say..."Though the use of animations from the anime, although cheating did kind of work, so thats one slightly good point. ", please explain...

I don't know much about Naruto as I don't watch that show, so I can't tell how good your flash was compared to the anime. But I think you've done a very good job here.
The fight was quite interesting and you used some very nice effects here and there (like the explosions or when the fighters where "powering up").

Sometimes the font you chose was quite hard to read, so maybe you should use some different colours for the letters.
Also you should spellcheck the subtitles before you submit the flash. I noticed that nasty little "your"/"you're" spelling error once. It's very annoying to read "your" when you really mean "you're", as it can be so easily avoided...

The idea with the three different endings is a very good one, even though the endings where quite short. It's also a very good idea that you only jumped back to the "choice screen" when one presses the replay button. Otherwise it would be very boring to sit through the whole fight again, just to see a different ending.
