The only noticeable difference between options is difficulty, with the Legend route proving the tougher (often with choices along the lines of “Let’s take them all on at once”) and the Hero route being easier (often splitting up groups of opponents or giving you backup). This gives the player the opportunity to make one of two decisions either immediately before or during a battle. New to Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the “Ultimate Decision” system. If you’re familiar with Naruto, the game picks up with a huge set-piece that leads into the story of the Five Kage Summit. At some point though it became less of a worry for me to memorize titles, names and characters pasts and I just came to enjoy the story being told. While none of this is a problem for long-time fans, the game doesn’t do a great job introducing players to the world. Much of the references and titles went right over my head. But for me it acted as my introduction to the world and – try as it might – no amount of text would be able to properly catch me up with all the characters and goings-on in this vast and convoluted world.Īnd that is what stopped me from fully enjoying the opening hours of the story. For those familiar with Naruto, it likely serves as a way to refresh the memory before being thrown into the thick of things. Before starting the game tries its best to catch you up with the story up to this point. The game retains the anime look, slightly adjusted to allow to still be a three dimensional game. The basic plot centers around a Battle Royale tournament, providing players with hints to be used in the RPG mode contained in the game.And beautiful it is. It features many characters from the series, both living and dead, making it a non-canon release. However, support characters have been removed and the game restricts the player to use only one Ultimate Jutsu for each battle instead of the usual preset three (though they can be changed before battle).Īdditionally, the Japanese version comes with a bonus DVD that includes a special 26-minute anime OVA. The player also has the ability to summon other characters through the use of Ultimate Jutsu, such as Gamabunta.

The game also heavily expands on the previous game's RPG mode, and is the first in the series to use CGI cutscenes. In this installment, the player is to both induce temporary transformations (such as Sasuke's Curse Mark, and Rock Lee's Eight Inner Gates) through Ultimate Jutsu, and other, more permanent ones, that last the entire rest of the fight (like Nine-Tailed Naruto or the Second State Curse Mark). When two jutsus of the same strength clash, the game cuts to a jutsu clash, in which the player or players must rapidly press a specific button repeatedly, until either jutsu wins out over the other.
The player can use equippable jutsu, a trend that began in the second game, and for the first time, equippable Ultimate Jutsu. This game features the largest character roster upon release, and third largest roster in the Ultimate Ninja series, with 42 characters, and covers the events up to episode 135 in the anime.
It was also released in England on September 5, 2008, but is only available in specific Tesco stores. This game was released in Japan on Decemin North America on March 25, 2008, in Australia on Septemand in Europe on September 5, 2008.
