For the price I got it for less than 20 it is worth playing waiting for the next installment later this year.

Overall a decent game if you are into the series; Not as good as 1, but does have more characters, better than 2, and hoping 4 is going to be awesome

Same as most of the Naruto games and has a lot based on the story line we already know

I'm a huge fan of how CyberConnect 2 has handled the Naruto licence , so I was thrilled to bits when Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 was announced. Having experimented with a different formula for their "Generations" game, it seemed that things were back to normal with a much more story...

Sublime presentation; Brilliant story; A lengthy single player campaign; An interesting fighting system

The online fights feel flat; Some pointless sections of the game; Far too easy; for the most part

Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the latest game to bring the action from the hugely popular Anime series onto gaming platforms. The animation is incredible, but will it draw outsiders in any more than previous titles?..

(continued from previous page) ...single player mode, which can be a drag. Tournament mode is probably the best of the bunch, and probably one of my favourite tournament modes in a fighter that have been released recently, you can do a normal style tournament just fighting your way to the end, this...

Incredible anime visuals with nearly perfectly placed QTE sections; Insane length story mode which will take at least 25-30 hours to finish everything; Exciting possibilities for online

Though not a big one; the lack of certain characters left a bit of distaste; Frame rate really needs to be stable for a fighter; and the occasional dips can be frustrating

Whether you follow anime or not, chances are you've heard of a spiky-haired ninja named Naruto. What first started out as a weekly manga in Japan has grown into a worldwide franchise spanning television, merchandise, and video games.

An amazing story mode experience; Beautiful cel-shaded visuals and animations; Simple; fun combat mechanics

Pointless quests; Pointless collectibles; Combat can seem shallow at first

Naruto has come a long way since the show and manga about an orange-clad, loud-mouthed young ninja debuted over 10 years ago. Though I once watched the show for its entrancing fights, the current run of Naruto Shippuden – its successor series – along with the latest edition in Namco Bandai's game...

Epic boss fights; Strategic; varied combat; High authenticity; Plenty of replayability; Massive roster

Ninja Tools feel unneeded; Easy difficulty

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the fourth installment in the Ultimate Ninja Storm series. The manga series has been in the spotlight for years now, and has a huge following.

With any mega shonen manga series making its way out of Japan, you can always expect to see game after game flowing from the 10 year lifespan the series' seem to endure. Naruto certainly isn't the one to go breaking the tradition as much as he wants to be the head honcho of his town, he also seems...

Pros: NAGATO New characters are fun Gameplay changes are great (more fluid combat, better support action) Cons: Story's ending is non-canon No playable edo kages Survival has to be unlocked Lack of skins for Edo characters (kakuzu etc ...

Ninja Storm 3 is certainly a fun game, mostly because the swift, simple combat is a blast to experience.  However, it isn't fun enough to warrant owning unless you are a true Naruto fan.
