Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm (Platinum) reviews

YUS, this game is mint, it kicks ass… It has a whole new LEVEL of Naruto to it. This makes Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 look like a kids game. This is indeed a big step for the Ps3, buy play and love it like I do xD

You know I'm a fighting game fan in general and I liked the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Series and then I tried Ultimate Ninja Storm since I recently bought a Playstation 3. Wow HD graphics look exactly like the animation, the fighting is so smooth it flows beautifully from one combo to the next and the giant battles – see them to believe them. Just know that the game is unconcerned with telling the Naruto storyline, it focuses mostly on letting you jump in and play. When it does tell the story, however, the cinematic cut sequences have to be seen. Plus the sound is Dolby Digital, have you ever heard a Chidori come up behind you? Well now's your chance if you have surround sound. The reconstruction of the Hidden Leaf Village is also reminiscent to what Ultimate Ninja 3 attempted but on a much bigger scale and mission selection is now integrated seamlessly within the reconstruction of the village.

Great game, highly enjoyable and great fun to play with another person who's into fighting games. I'm proud to give this game the highest commendations and eagerly anticipate a sequel, it's obvious a lot of work has gone in.

Naruto!

This game is visually stunning and sticks true to the Anime in terms of speed, if you're a fan of the show then you will be very happy with this game, the combat system takes a while to get used to but it seriously feels like you're watching the Anime as you play it when you've got the hang of it. It's done really well.

The story mode could do with some help in terms of mission acquiring and the way it's laid out, original music from the show would have been preferred, Turn Around being my favorite.

Overall 4 stars for gameplay and details, worth a buy and as I said if you're a fan of the show you would want this game!

couldn't stop playing the demo before i even brought the game.. Great game to come back to, you can spend hours on one character. favourite battle would have to be cursed sasuke or ultimate lee – looks kind of super saiyan..

A good introduction into the PS3 by the Naruto franchise!
The bad: voice acting in english doesnt live up to the japanese cast, story mode can be rather annoying with too many side quest requirements to fufill, controls sometimes feel a little too randomized (similar to hack and slash)
The good: combat is fast pased and looks very cool especially the ultimate attacks,Visually stunning for an anime game, total of 25 playable characters each with their set of original style true to the anime, additions such as traps, poisons and partner support can really boost the intensity of the game and can be used strategicly to take down your opponent.
Definitely will inspire you if your a fan of the anime series.

This game is unbelievable. It gives you a whole new understanding to the Naruto world. You can play as your favourite characters in 1 on 1 combat with 1–2 supporting characters to back you up.

This game is a definite buy you will LOVE this game. Now that the Naruto game is in 3D not 2D it gave a whole world of options to the creaters. The amazing detail in every jutsu used and even more amazing in the Ultimate Jutsus (especially Neji and Gai if i would say so myself). Trying to compare this game to other games is hard but a believe it is going to start a new Naruto era one very simlier to CAPCOMS Street Fighters.

This is the first naruto game for the PS3 so you'd think that they would do a good job as with the last game Naruto accel 2 but no.

Story mode:

Story mode is C grade where in the lack of the correct characters the substitue others even though the characters movesets and models are in game.

Boss fights are interesting the first few times but are only for single player mode and there are only 3

Single player is SLOW very very slow.
The camera needs work in singleplayer mode in the village.

Missions now have varied minigames and are not all fight or deliver item X to person Y.

Multiplayer:

Multiplayer suffers from balancing issues, and long load times and a smaller character roster that compares with NUH2.

There is a delay time between pressing the button and getting the action and sometimes the timer on the action failing as you press buttons too fast, as combat is slower than Naruto Accel 2. but you can get used to this.

You also get some of the awakenings and transformations of characters after completing the game.

Charcters only get 1 ougi and 2–3 jutsus.

Guy and Lee's ougi's will make your day though as they are funny as heck to watch.

And Itachi gets back is water clone with less ownage while Neji and Kimimaro get really nerfed. Orochimaru is decent as are a few others now.
