Great If You're Into Naruto
The Story Was Great And has a good couple side missions afterwards Favorite part would be the Multiplayer ~ If you have friends that have this game it makes the experience better, lots of the randoms are a good challenge too. 5/5 in my Opinion.

Great Game!
I played Generations, and I think that it pales in comparison to Storm 3 and I absolutely love the fact that this one actually has DLC skins

Perfect naruto game
This game is amazing, it has everything a naruto fan would love. the boss battles are perfect, the game play also amazing most about this is amazing. I really enjoyed the story mode, I love the fact that they ask you how do you want to difficulty to be, and fighting multiple people at the same time, so far this is the best naruto game I ever played!!

Give the fans what they want, change it up.
I would'nt reccomend buying this game if you have Naruto ultimate ninja storm generations, due to that it feels as if its the exact same thing. Aside from them bringning bossd battles back free roam and what i believe only 6-7 new charecters its the same thing at a waste of 60$ I wish they would capitalize on all of the characters and change the moves for the last three games they have had the same moves. What the creators need to realize is that there are fans of all the charecters...which im not sure they do, for ex I am a Rock Lee fan- Rock lee has the same odd "Leafs combo attack" please give him something origional like the hidden lotus or leaf hurricane , or for a item maybe sake and he can use drunken fist idk, i know there are people who are fans of other charecters like neji for example who wish the same as i do but game is great but is basically the same fighting as the last 3 so with same charecter jutsu and set 7 changed i would deffinetly give a 10

Great Formula, Great Execution.
As a veteran player of the series I know what has been improved over previous titles. This latest installment has taken some of the best things from previous games and made them even better. The character roster is the biggest there has ever been with 80+ characters to choose from. The gameplay and combos were really thought out and I found myself just going into practice mode to test a lot of them out. I'm also glad to see that they took out the weird character story modes that were in Generations. The boss fights in this game were better than in any other game in the series. You can also access something called the Ninja World Timeline and relive the whole Naruto franchise story. The Online mode is great, and can offer a challenge. But beware, towards the end of the game there was a huge difficulty spike making it hard to finish the last two boss fights. I have played every game in the series, and I think this might be the best one yet. Definitely a must own and a great game to get introduced to the franchise with.

Good but Not What it Could Have Been
I have had this game since launch and I have played it almost every day since launch. With that I think I have the right to give a honest review for this game. I will categorize my review into 4 parts, Story, Free battle, Online, and Mechanics. STORY- While the story mode is great and the Boss Battles is epic I often was turned off to the 30 minute cut scenes that were split up into different parts so you couldn't just skip the whole thing. You may not find this and issue however when their is so many long cut scenes you eventually will want to skip them. The other issue is the lack of battles that should of had QTE's(Quick time events). Battles such as Kisame vs Bee and Konan vs Tobi are prime examples of where QTE's should have been used. However, the few boss battles and QTE fights that were in the game were very fun and enjoyable. My rating of the Story Mode is 3.5 out of 5. FREE BATTLE- This section of the review is going to mainly be talking about the characters. Their is about 80 playable characters with a few support only characters. You may say to yourself that this is a large amount of characters, but you are mistaken especially if you have played Generations. If you played Generations there is about 16 new characters(maybe a little more). The main characters that they left out of this roster were the 7sm, Kin and Gin, and the Edo Kage. So how did they make the roster the biggest ever? They added PTS characters, and duplicates of some characters that have the same exact moveset as the original just with a new ultimate or awakening. The roster was very disappointing. The also did not update most of the Storm 2 characters other than perhaps an awakening action. My rating of the Free Battle portion of the game is a 2 out of 5 for people who have played Storm Generations, a 2.5 out of 5 for people who played Storm 2, and a 4 out of 5 for people who haven't played any Storm game. ONLINE- Online is fun with friends. While playing ranked matches against strangers may at times be fun, you often run into people using and abusing the most powerful/broken things in the game along with using cheap tactics on top of it. However while playing with friends who don't do this I personally have had some of the best online experiences in my gaming history. Many people complain about lag and frame rate issues, however I have not had these problems. My rating for Online is 3.5 out of 5. Mechanics- The new mechanics for the game are instant awakenings and support dash. I will start off by saying that support dashes are almost useless and barely ever have any purpose. Instant awakenings are a hit and miss. While some make characters broken and over powered such as Neji, they suck for some characters like Tobi who has almost no benefits from it. This feature was a hit and a miss in my opinion. Now lets talk about the broken/glitched mechanics. The Team Ultimate. Not only did they restore to the speed it was back in Storm 2 they made it so that if a player is comboing and the other player is doing a team ultimate at like 2 feet range the player comboing is not allowed to substitute. Another problem with Team Ultimate while I personally find it a good broken mechanic is where giant awakening such as Susanoo have to sub from it twice or they get hit. While I do not know how this glitch occurs, sometimes Giant awakenings freeze not allowing them to attack of get hit. However they can get hit by ultimate's. I give the mechanics a 3 out of 5 simply because they did try to fix things and add some new things. OTHER- Like all the Naruto Storm games before it the graphics are top of the line. The voice acting is good in my opinion for both English and Japanese however for English they did a terrible job with lip syncing. My overall review for the game is 8.5 for people who have never played a Storm game before, a 8 for people who have played Storm 2. and a 7 for people who have played Generations. Do I recommend this game? Yes. Do I recommend you to buy it for $60? No. For $30-$45? Sure. While me along with many others were expecting more from this game we still enjoy and hope for the best in the next Naruto game along with hopefully future patches and dlc for Storm 3. I hope this review helped you in deciding whether you will buy this game or not.
