A real gem for fans of the Konoha ninja, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is rich, well-crafted, fun to play and as worthy of the series as ever.
Even if the difficulty skews toward the easy side, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 speeds up combat with more responsive controls, and the visual spectacle of it all is more stunning than ever.

Very good, great fighting game for those who like Naruto or not, the story reaches Madara, the graphics are beautiful and the gameplay remains fluid, nothing to complain.

A bit of a disclaimer, buy a pack of tissue because this game will touch your heart. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the best 3D fighting game to date. Everything from Storm 2 just was upgraded hell of a lot! The story mode in this game is **** amazing! However it does skip quite a lot of canonical information from the original show so don't make this game your only source for Naruto Shippden. With that aside, the story aspects along the narration and the fighting makes this mode perfect, not close to perfect, perfect! Also the soundtrack for this game are just... wow. If you can buy the soundtrack alone you will be in a treat. The versus mode itself got a serious upgrade! Its so fun and competitive that is could be an e-sport game. Kinda extreme but you will see for yourself. And the online mode is fixed and enjoyable from the last game. Beside the crappy servers Namco Bandai provides, it's a fun made for you or your friends to play head to head with each other or with other players around the world. Overall, your missing out if you don't own this!

Represents the perfect opportunity to relive the most important moments in the last arc of the saga. This title tries to bring back some of the past virtues that were nowhere to be found in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, like the adventuring component. On the other hand, the battle system strikes us as maybe too simplistic and restrictive, more so given the trajectory of Masashi Kishimoto's work within the realm of videogames.
Its impressive Adventure mode stays true to the anime and creates an experience typically not found in a fighting game. Its enhanced combat system, coupled with its large roster of characters, makes for fun offline and online matches that will keep you exploring the ins and outs of each character.
While some elements, like the story and the boss fights, will definitely appeal to fans of the franchise, major step backs, like the low difficulty, the poor pacing due to the overload of cut-scenes and the uninteresting side quests keep Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 from being the next big hit by CyberConnect2.
With less innovation that promised Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is a game only for Naruto fans.
This game is only for those who care to see Naruto's story continue to play out, and though it has its moments, it doesn't deliver quite the level of excitement you'd hope for from a game bearing the Naruto Shippuden name.
This game is AWESOME for NARUTO Fans! This game is for fans. But who aren't fan, will like this game too, but won't be like the fans of NARUTO!!!!!!!

Another great Naruto ninja storm in the series! It continues from where it left off on NSUNS2 and it follows the canon story directly

No story first of all beyond the world tournament mode which is garbage. Spam heaven I play with friends and all they do is pick the characters that can spam all day. People that give this positive scores are just ****. There are a lot of lagging issues on top of poor collisions. They really half @$$ed this game just to get some $$ from fans Do not support this game.

Positives: Well, there were a lot of characters. Like, a lot. Really, for a fanfiction fan like me, this was like a dream come true. Also, there were a few epic moments in the story that made me just stop for a moment, and appreciate the epicness.
Negatives: Well, the game REALLY seemed a bit rushed. I haven't played the other games in the series, nor can I be considered an 'experienced' player, but some of the combat features and a few of the boss fights (I'm looking at you, final boss fight), REALLY seemed rushed and just thrown in last minute. The Open World bits were terrible, and the ending was worse than the **** games I've ever played.
The item system only gives you a VERY slight edge, when using anything but health, chakra, or stat boosts. This along with the Hero and Legendary loadouts, while a little nice, were sorta confusing. Why couldn't there just be one loadout?
The final boss fights were a HUGE problem as well. I won't give anything away, but I'll try to explain it. There is no health regen in the game, and the final boss fights don't let you use health items. Also, a flying enemy with a VERY small hitbox. Fun! Not.
Also, quick-time events. Did I mention those? There's a lot of them.
The Open World? Yeah, you can sorta travel from place to place, but it's really slow, there are invisible walls EVERYWHERE. You literally are forced to walk down a narrow path.
The Cutscenes. Kill me now. There are a lot of them, which is to be expected from an anime-based game, but more so than usual. Also, some are unskippable. And the ones that aren't you don't really want to miss that much. Combine this with long loading times for each switch from gameplay to cutscene, it really makes the game longer than it needs to be.
The Voice Actors. Guess what? It's the English voice actors. You know, the ones that made Kakashi and Itachi sound alright, but made Naruto sound like a whiny brat (who, by the way, you'll be hearing a lot of). They really couldn't have just given the option of Japanese voice actors with subtitles?
Finally, the ending. It wouldn't have been so bad if they had released the later parts quickly as cheap DLC, but no. The ending itself is terrible. It really is. I'm not even joking. They have this really awesome (sort of) series of quick time events that seem to lead up to an amazing finish, but ****. You'll see. Or not.
All in all, only the most die-hard of Naruto fans will enjoy this. And even then....I don't know. I only came for a playable Fuu.
