Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is an action, adventure, 3D fighting video game created by CyberConnect2 and published by Namco Bandai Games for the Playstation 3 and PC on November 4, 2008. It was later re-released for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy on August 25, 2017. It also released on Mobile on September 25, 2024.
Why It Rocks
- Great music during battles.
- Great graphics, especially during the battles and the FMV videos.
- Even more impressive on Mobile, it's still great to look at.
- This was, thankfully, the last Naruto game to retell the story of the manga post time-skip.
- This is the first Naruto game in the Ultimate Ninja series of games which has full 3D fighting, all of the ones previous were 2D fighting games with 3D rendered graphics.
- A decent roster. It consists of 25 playable characters.
- Tons of side content and unlockables to keep you occupied.
- A great story which follows every major canon arc in the Naruto anime and manga faithfully.
- Great voice acting in both Japanese and English.
Bad Qualities
- While the roster is decent, it's still a downgrade from the previous. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5 had 62 playable characters, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 4 had 52 playable characters, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 had 42 playable characters, and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 had 32 playable characters, (33 in the Japanese version), which means that this game had the second least amount of playable charcters in the series at the time, just above Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, which only had 12 playable characters, and that was just because of how soon into the story that it was released.
- The graphics were good in most cases, but the in-game cutscenes when you're just randomly roaming around the village are still lacking graphically.
- No online multiplayer, the only to play multiplayer is local, but still fun to play.
- The Zabuza arc wasn't featured at all in the story mode, it just skips straight to the Chunin Exams arc.
- The combat system hasn't aged very well, especially in comparison to the next entries.
- The mobile version, while good, has some flaws:
- This port is inability to support gamepad, you must uses third-party apps to play it.
- Because of this, there's no multiplayer, which is disappointing.
- The game doesn't support fullscreen, instead having a two black bar aside of it, although practically all phones now have the punch-hole and notch.
