Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm for PlayStation 3 Reviews by Gamers

I LOVE NARUTO (the manga and anime, not the boy)! This game is hands down the best naruto game out there now, despite of broken bond's useless attempt to beat ninja storm out! Though the story mode is sometimes monotonous and the minigames are annoying most of the time, the game is overall just awesome! The fighting is at what i think is graphics maximum (any better and Naruto would look like a real boy, not a cartoon), and to add on, the characters aren't single to one costume. I do believe the combos were a little limited after a few hours of play (to the game masters like me), however, the game's action keeps me coming and it'll do the same to you!

First of all, let me say that this game is BEAUTIFUL! The animation, modeling, and textures all make this look like you're actually watching an anime! They weren't kidding when they said it blurred the barriers of 'video game' and 'anime'. The fighting is very fluid, and everything moves with realistic motion. If you can call Naruto 'realistic', that is. This game is quite amazing, and any fan of Naruto should own it. Although, the one thing that brings this down from a perfect '10', is that the free-roaming mode can get tedious. What you do during it, is travel around the Hidden Leaf Village searching for items that appear after clearing a mission. Free-missions will only supply secret scrolls, which are used to get support techniques, but the story mode will provide either ingredient bags or treasure boxes. Ingredient bags are used to make ramen, so Naruto's chakra can go up. While treasure boxes usually give ninjutsu's for characters to use.
The story nearly follows the Naruto storyline without missing anything, but sadly Haku and Zabuza's arc kind of gets left behind. Other than that, you will experience the entirety of the first Naruto series.
Next, are the battles. Normal combat is quite fun, and you have MANY characters to choose from. There will be downloadable costumes up on the store in the near future, but as of now, only Naruto's is available. Next, we have the 'Giant Battles'. These are epic, and very enjoyable. I won't divulge too much about these, so I don't ruin it.
Next, there's the audio. Thankfully, we are given the chioce to use the original JP VA. Which are done very well, and really help the game. The music will be familiar to watchers of naruto, and I believe that some of it was composed just for this game.
I only regret the character limit on these reviews, cause there is so much more greatness to this game. Bottom line, the game is amazing, but free-roam mode kind of detracts from the experience. Get this game if you have a PS3!
