As the end of the Naruto Universe slowly comes to an end so does the Naruto games we all know and love. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3(NUNS3) is the latest installment from this beloved series and is quite possibly the best the series has produced to date.
The story starts at the beginning of the Five Kage Summit and Madara has declared war on the Great Nations, and runs through the Fourth Great Ninja War. The story mode is much more polished this time around compared to NUNS Generations with the return of big Boss Battles such as the Fight against The Kyuubi and also quick times boss battles like Naruto vs. Tobi. However, despite the return of what made this game great there are two major problems with the two last battles of the games, now I don't want to give any spoilers away but, to a Naruto Purist these just don't make sense or even actually happen. But despite some flaws the story holds up very well.
Whether the graphics of the game have ever improved or not is of no concern to me but, the graphics in NUNS3 are just beyond amazing, most notably are the characters who look even better than they do in the anime, with facial expressions that allow to really see the pain in there eyes as the world around them goes to hell.
Gameplay makes the game and luckily NUNS has had a winning style since it began, so there has been no major gameplay changes from Generations with only one change to awakening mode to some characters which is a bit cheap to say the least but, effective.
Lastly multiplayer...Still Home to the Greatest Spammers I've ever seen.
VERDICT: Despite having some major story flaws near the end the story still remains true to the original writing of Masashi Kishimoto and give at least 15 hrs. of good story mode that'll get you lost in a true Naruto Universe experience.
its to bad this game ended the way it did but
hopefully there will be one more that lasts till
the end of the series and doesn't do its own
interpretations of the story
dont forget to talk about the cons of the game..
all your reviewing is the story.
Cons:
You got to talk about how they
failed to put in more game modes (except perpetual
challenge)
how NUNS2 seemed to have
more boss battle button sequences,
how
they failed to put in the edo kages (even though
they are introduced in the story with full
movesets & ninjitsu), the swordsmen, & the
gold & silver brothers.
they
failed to make the free roam of the story mode the
least bit entertaining,
insanely long
flashbacks of straight talking during every
chapter,
the lack of new ultimates
& ninjitsu for copy & paste characters,
they failed to put in Kurama mode as
an awakening for naruto,
how they
failed to put gaara's half body shukaku
awakening,
no new online game modes
how they still, for some stupid reason,
have designated support characters when everybody
can already be used as a support.
still
no justu clashes, still no running on walls (like
in NUNS1)
EXTREMELY short & for
the most part BORING ultimates (we need the
ultimates from the PS2 ultimate ninja's when
every character had a level 1-3)
also,
why tf are they holding on to old ass shippuden
characters for? like 9-tail rasengan naruto &
chidori true spear sasuke? if mf's want to
play as them old shit characters then just buy the
previous installments of the damn game..leave them
in the past smh
Pros:
still
the best-looking & most fun fighting game up
to date.
Must-play for die hard Naruto
