Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Review

[ainar80]

This version of the leaf village is much better then on Ultimate Ninja Storm 2

[AnbuIce]

@AnbuIce here* phone auto correct. >.>

[AnbuIce]

I really miss the huge sandboxish leaf village.... Im not hear to rag on xbox, but thats the reason we wont have that in Gen. or Storm 2. However, something I miss that (i dont think is xboxes fault) is jutsu clashing and button tapping ultimates. To try and negate it. But asiiiiide from alllll that. I cant wait for generations. And regardless of if you play on Ps3 and 360 well, NINJAS UNITE! :D

[musickid203]

Tenten, and Ino look AWESOME!!!!! And Im glad they included tree jumping. I think Kishimoto has done a HUGE step up when you look back on Clash of Ninja.

[MSN740]

Can't wait till generations but I will always miss the amazing clashes and specials that truly made the seires

[SSJavenger]

I fucking cant wait for generations...

[THitch98]

@SSJavenger Me either man it's gonna be EPIC.

[AnimeXeta]

You should review anime games, not like that idiot who reviewed the sequel to this, the first thing he said was 'I'm not super into anime and I'm not super into fighting games...'

Good review dude.

[C0r3yK1ll4]

is it just me or does storm 1 beat storm 2?

[thomaspass12]

@C0r3yK1ll4 no corey, no it does , KiD X TyCO, you don't to me or Dish on Xbox, anymore, join the party, please

[KaidenKid]

@C0r3yK1ll4 No you're correct Storm 2 was awful

[23jipe]

45 people are xbox 360 angry fans...!!! xD

[UnderwhelmingPlywood]

Why isn't IGN this good anymore?

[tylermrogers]

can someone plz tell me if this follows the actual anime/manga story of naruto from the beggining

[nergblarg]

@tylermrogers na, it is from shipuden.

[Mrepiphonebassist]

@tylermrogers yes all the way from when naruto first trains with team 7 and then till when he fights sasuke in the finaly valley

[Dante33ification]

NOTE: This the first and final time a guy with good taste reviews these kinds of games

[9608699]

i like this better than 2.

[dk3c46]

Wait, there are people without Rock Lee action figures? DEAR GOD!

[mysticicedragon]

So it's only on PS3...? D:

[LyarkTV]

@mysticicedragon Do you own an Xbox? Cause if that's the case, then the game's sequel: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is also for the Xbox :D

[mysticicedragon]

@LyarkTV I'm getting one for Christmas. Yeah, I looked up Ninja Storm 2, and I'll probably get that one.

[Leon8563]

this secound naruto ps3 game ia way better

[AbdiXL]

No trophy support :\

[mrbloodshugar]

@AbdiXL You People care to much about the fucking trophies , enjoy the game !!!!!

Jesus

[mananabana11]

2:22 video game porn?

[extrathebeast]

@mananabana11 lol

[XxRusty96xX]

When IGN reviews were GOOD

[SSJavenger]

What would make the perfect naruto game would be broken bonds free roam storm 1 gameplay storm 2 story and online and generations huge character roster

[nsarts1]

im hoping storm generations will give me that nogalstic felling.

[YTPW149X]

@timmy619hokage Won't get tired doing that? And even so, you'd spend your whole life fucking people because...well, look at how many you'd have to fuck! XD

[YTPW149X]

@Prathik1989 At least you can play this game online for free. Meanwhile, I have to steal money from children just so I can buy a Gold membership.

[Arrchangel96]

I hope that storm generation looks more like storm 1....adventure mode is alot better than storm 2....getting on buildings...running...

[The7269]

best naruto game ever storm 2 was poorly done wasn't nearly as good as storm 1 same for generations i don't care how many characters generations is going to have its not going to be nearly as good as storm 1

[bwsofly]

@MissBlossom01 I thought it was 3?.?

[bobombthekoopa]

i have 360 im wondering what to get.i just got into anime and i want a game with that style,prefferibly a fighter.i was gonna get blazblue but i just started watching naruto and ive watched the first 50 episodes since last night,and im still going.but this is ps3 exclusive so what should i get people?a different naruto game or blazblue?

[TheS2pidmuffin]

naw was it hard to make a review like this for shippuden ultimate ninja storm 2

[HenryKrinkle666]

Can't wait to buy since I just got a PS3... BUT HOW ABOUT A ONE PIECE GAME FOR THE PS3?!

[rasenshuriken49]

@HenryKrinkle666 yeah they already made a bleach what about naruto

[SVRTheFallenOne]

@HenryKrinkle666

One has been confirmed.

[HenryKrinkle666]

@SVRTheFallenOne REALLY?!

[SVRTheFallenOne]

@HenryKrinkle666

Yup, not for 360 though :(

[HenryKrinkle666]

@SVRTheFallenOne Glad I made the switch of consoles, then... I CAN'T WAIT!!!

[mananabana11]

@MissBlossom01 yeah thanks and the game is until naruto and sasuke clash :)

[Ratzmoonmopes]

Bleach vs Naruto Video Game = Yes

[mananabana11]

@MissBlossom01 oh yeah i mean storm 3 :)

[mananabana11]

@MissBlossom01 how do you know storm 2 will exist?:)

[3063259]

This guy needs to review the second game.... Fuck that other reviewer this guy is good at reviews.

[jakeman1245]

IGNorent

[MrLOL9999]

what I don't like about this game is the music. it's strongly repetitive and is slow and boring.

[darkstar32526]

heh heh heh... "turn some people off"

[thesamadshow]

did naruto finally master his shadow clone justu well from dat ultimate justu.....i think so lol

[RyanGallagher5]

I have Storm 2 (i haven't played storm 1) and Storm 1 looks WAY Better then storm 2, the story mode looks better (being an open world) i like how you can fight on the walls during battle, and the ultimate jutsus are way better! I love Tenten's and Ino's Jutus! They better make Generations more like storm 1 then storm 2, its a make it or break it for me (if they screw up generations like they did on storm 2, im gonna sell my ps3 for a wii u)

[assassinsgreed66]

@RyanGallagher5 Don't blame your PS3,blame the people who allowed the game to become multi-platformed,eventully reducing it's quality.

[knitmadmum]

@RyanGallagher5 yes storm 1 is a 100X better than storm 2 in like every way and no generations is exactly like storm 2 its kind of like a storm 2.5 with just a couple new characters and some from storm 1

[desiboy2580]

should i get mortal kombat or ultimate nija storm and ive alredy played through mortal kombat and i havent really played naruto only the demo

[pvtspartan]

Flower power

[strokemonkeys1]

@MissBlossom01 how did u hear of this new game but anyways if it is as good as part 1 im sold

[strokemonkeys1]

needed online and this game would of been a perfect 10 cause im tired of beating up all my friends i wanna get beat up for once cause uns2 wasnt as good

[gamevidz231]

ok i did not get this game, i went straight to uns2 which i got today and i am actually very dissapointed that the explorable leaf village isnt in the second 1, will it is but more linear and less fun, the hidden leaf village in this game looks more fun, y didnt they add it, they already made it for the first game so it wouldnt be to hard to transfer with updated visuals would it? i might have to get the first one aswell then or wait for uns3, the new one doesnt look that special.

[DisruptiveEntity]

Well, let's face it; this game is better than Two, though, the visuals are about the same. However, I do like both games. Storm One had good free-roam, Storm Two's was just tedious as all hell. Though, Storm Two had some good things. The only real thing Storm Two had over it, however; would be the boss fights. Everything else, Storm one did quite better on. The online is quite laggy, though that mostly depends on your connection. Can't say I don't like Storm Two, but it had a way better sequal.

[HDMIForce]

@DisruptiveEntity i think that the fights were better in storm 2 just because they were faster paced and that it didn't take so damn long to stand up after being knocked down. I also think that the story was better in storm 2 but it kinda missed the free roam of UNS 1 it seemed as if they only focused on the cut scenes instead of developing something innovative

[xyo68]

@HDMIForce And! For me that was Amazing! The cut scenes with Quick time events where incredible...But i prefer This Ninja storm instead of 2...

[tapion567]

@HDMIForce storm 2 story mode had most of the major fights while storm 1 cut out land of waves arc an dbattle with the sound ninja four which were both major parts in the story.

[HDMIForce]

@tapion567 i never said that the story mode was bad in usn 2 i just said that the free roam shouldn't have been that sidescrolling type but it should have been the same as it was in USN 1 that would make it even more epic and it would give it more replay value

[TheMrE96]

@DisruptiveEntity yeah i think that they could have done a much better job with storm 2 i think that they shouldve kept almost everything the same from 1 thats why im hoping that generations will be more like this one

[truesayin123]

I WANT TO GET THIS GAME BUT WILL SOME ONE PLZ TELL ME IF TH

IS HAS ONLINE

[KashgroundTM]

storm 2 had more characters.storm one had BETTER CHARACTERS

[jperalta0789]

storm generations soon can't wait!!!!!!!

[gin0ichimaru0tama]

@jperalta0789 by soon u mean 7 months

[jperalta0789]

@gin0ichimaru0tama i dont guve a crap as long as its storm and theres online im happy *game is released but theres no online* fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccc­cccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk

[gin0ichimaru0tama]

@jperalta0789 same

[gin0ichimaru0tama]

@jperalta0789 btw its now in feburary

[jperalta0789]

@gin0ichimaru0tama yeah its been announced for some time now

[TheMustik92]

@jperalta0789 Lol why? It's just storm 2 with an enhanced story and a few new characters, besides that nothing is changed :P

[jperalta0789]

@TheMustik92 thats true but theres some stuff they didnt put in the first 1 and the second

[TheMustik92]

@jperalta0789 really? like what? I might get the gamne if the new content is good :)

[megarock327]

Go ahead and get this game if you want to a bad story, with limited cut scences and no online, but if you want a great game get the second ultimate ninja storm. NO TROPHIES!!!

[TheAkatsukiKnightz]

@megarock327 BIGGEST TROLL OF 2011

[megarock327]

Go ahead and get this game if you want to a bad story, with limited cut scences and no online, but if you want a great game get the second ultimate ninja storm.

[riku2329]

@megarock327 your dumb

[YoungKeithBlast]

Generations here I come

[madaraofakatsuki]

for anyone wondering naruto storm generations has been announced this will have first gen chars second gen chars all the way up to danzo i think it could be a shit load of dlc or a whole new game no idea

[kickblue11]

the thing i dont like about uns2 is that you cannot walk in the walls

[llamazunited]

For UNS2 I have to say they made Killer Bee shit when he is the strongest (tied with Minato) in the manga and anime like really people, trying to substitute with him and half the time it won't work, his combo has the second highest chance to be dodged, his special can be substituted where most others can't, and probably my biggest problem is that THEY MADE HIS RAPPING SUCK! That's just not right. you should also be able to not go through the same menu each and every time for ranked matches!

[V3rsesMe]

The Only Thing I DOnt Like About NUNS2 Is That They Don't Have The Characters From The First Season. Other Than That I Have To Disagree With Most Comments Because The Graphics In NUNS2 Havent Toned Down In Fact They Are Better. The Gampeplay Is Smoother.NUNS2 Graphics And Adventure Mode Are Better Than The NUNS Because There Were More Key Elements For The Creators To Focus On Because As We All Know The Storyline Strengthens Throughout The Series And So Does The Action.

[AwesomeDude363]

@V3rsesMe graphics look crappy compare to NUNS 1

[V3rsesMe]

@AwesomeDude363 Matter Of Fact Thank I Made A Mistake, They Are The Same They Havent Gone Down Or Increased.

[infernochidori]

@V3rsesMe thank you

[hebidude]

if there's an US3 i hope a better story mode US2 boring to death but beautiful visuals

[Lenrom12]

they should have left ninja storm an exclusive because the graphics had to get toned down due to it being multiplatform

[12pokachu]

@Lenrom12 not really, the graphics were amazing on both systems although the character models dont look "as wierd" on the ps3 rather than the Xbox 360 and other minor things

[nothingzx96]

@dodgerdude96

They even took out the clash function in the second one which is pretty lame. The second one did make some good advancements however. Better story telling, online play, more multiplayer maps and characters, better graphics, and trophies. Hopefully they will take all the good stuff from both games and make an epic 3rd title to close out the series.

[nothingzx96]

@dodgerdude96

I'm no fanboy (despite the fact that I only have a PS3) but the first game was better overall. Reason 1, the hub world was much better when it was a huge open world. Reason 2, three health bars (unlike 2 bars in the second one) leads to fights that are a bit longer. Reason 3, the ultimate jutsu animation were pretty awesome to pull off and watch. Also, the multiplayer menu in the first one was much better in my opinion.

[DarkLord1997]

poor neji . his face before ino hit

[angrypiratepanda]

can i get this game for xbox 360?

[nothingzx96]

@angrypiratepanda

Unfortunately, no.

[dodgerdude96]

Scratch my last comment -.- I hadn't played storm 1 and well it is way better than storm 2 because the graphics are remarkable and the gameplay is so in-depth

[dodgerdude96]

Any one who thinks this is better than storm 2 is a straight up ps3 fanboy and has know Idea how to tell a good game from a price of shit I have a ps3 and xbox 360 and storm 2 kills the original

[sonicman0123456789]

he hub world in Storm 2 was a MAJOR disapointment to me....

[Terrym1011]

if they made three the way the made one but added in the characters from one and two plus the characters from later on in the show and opitions like older and and younger verisons like they did in ultimate ninja 4 for the ps2 would make for a great game plus the need to make it so that is not so long on the story modes but have it eiser to transion from fight to fight because in two you had to do so much to get threw the story mode

[NoLimitWinMugen]

3:04 perfect lip sync with orochimaru

[ammersXamphetamine]

I think you have convinced me to buy this game!

I hope I think it's a great game! :)

[kr3w445]

better than the second one? i beat it on xbox 360 but I bought a ps3 recently so should I check this one out?

[hugokid1]

@kr3w445 yes

[slideshowvid]

@kr3w445 i think so man cause im getting it to even tho ive got storm 2 so yeah def its like storm 2 is shippuden and storm is naruto

[quicksilver2055]

@kr3w445 I would recommend it, Its a great game, much better than Storm 2 in my opinion, only flaw is that there is no online and no trophies (Achievements).

[nrtoking4729]

What ever he says That is like Negative about games i always try to remember and say "OH YEAH!"

[ixAkatsukix]

I'm going to go ahead and say this. And when I do I know twenty million people will bitch at me. This game was way better than two. Here's why;

This game had a fight opening; and the second didn't.

This game had better visuals.

This game had better Adventure mode.

This game had better Ultimates and jutsu.

This game had a better conclusion of combos.

Now, I am prepared to talk about Uns2.

It had more characters, and thankfully, decent online. However, they had to tune down ultimates, due to this.

[PranayInbaraj]

@ixAkatsukix But the story is way better in UNS2..

You better accept that!!

[hugokid1]

@PranayInbaraj but unsc2 is crap in front of unsc

[hugokid1]

@ixAkatsukix i know this is the only reason iwant a ps3 so bad

[slideshowvid]

@ixAkatsukix so ur saying its worth it buying storm even if u have storm 2

[quicksilver2055]

@ixAkatsukix The first one is much better, the only thing better about storm 2 was more characters, and better support system. Oh and dont even get me started with the horrible online.

[nothingzx96]

@quicksilver2055

Online really just depends on your connection and your opponents connection. If both have good connection, then the online plays just as well as a battle offline. Trust me, I've tested this.

[MrNaruto520]

@ixAkatsukix man ur right the is way better becasue there is clash and they don,t have the zabuza sage

[wdrt1]

@ixAkatsukix I thought i was the only one that noticed man....well said tho!!

[nothingzx96]

@ixAkatsukix

Only ONE flaw with your comment pal, the second one has much better graphics and details in it.

[quicksilver2055]

@nothingzx96 Seriously dude? I own both games, and the graphics looks the same on both.

[MrKabutoYakushi]

@nothingzx96 the graphics on two are toned down so i dont know how theyre better in your eyes

[nothingzx96]

@MrKabutoYakushi I single player yes there are just more details and not better graphics, but in the normal battles they seem smoother and the animations for the characters are a bit better as well...

[shipuden97]

@ixAkatsukix i agree with you plus you forgot to say in 1 you could walk in konoha and play jump but in ultimate ninja storm 2 you couldnt do that but the grafics are a little bit better in 2 :)

[blazingalpha]

@ixAkatsukix Well it was for x box and ps3 so that sucked, and killed most of the game for ninja storm 2

[hugokid1]

@ixAkatsukix is 2 better than one and 2 took out clashing and some awekaning ultimate jutsus

[SamshMaster2000]

@ixAkatsukix well, it's your opinion, and i'll respect that.

[yoshtown]

@ixAkatsukix I Agree

[Rastafarienkidfinney]

@ixAkatsukix No clashes either in 2.

[MrTroxim]

@ixAkatsukix IT also has a better way of exploring the city but i dont agree with you on the visuals. they are just as good if not better.

[apdragon321]

@ixAkatsukix the visuals were get in both games, and looks great in next as well, everything else i agree w/ that game when one step forward and to steps back. I dont think that  uns2 had more characters, but uns had better characters and transformations

[xcaliberkilla]

@ixAkatsukix I NO IT SUCKED STORM 1 IS WAY BETTER

[spidervovan]

@ixAkatsukix And the music was better in the first game!=/

But i think the visuals were the same in both games,if not better in the second...

[MNamikaze101]

@ixAkatsukix there are more combos to think of in number 2 and the story mode was horrible in number 1. yes number 2 wasnt 3d like the first one, but at least u were able to leave the village and play as 2 other characters. number 1 had better visuals cuz it was a ps3 exclusive, and the ultimate were short because of online purposes so it keep the feel of the game and keep it fast pace instead of waiting 30 seconds for the special to be done. but i am sure u knew when posting ur reasons right?

[mackenzie2211]

@ixAkatsukix BUT the first game isn't for xbox so it kinda a kick in the balls

[dcent2]

@ixAkatsukix Well, an opinions an opinion, but

I dont know what a fight opening is.

The visuals were the same. (Like, are you serious?)

Better is really opinionated. Sure, it had a leaf villiage open world...but the story telling is amazingly dry.

The game had MUCH better Ultimates and jutsu lol

No comment.

[MannyFresh1254]

@dcent2 The graphics are a tad bit better in the first storm. a fight opening are when a character says something before the fight starts like "i hope your ready for this!" and things like that. Ultimates are better in Storm 2? Lemme get some of what your smoking!

[dcent2]

@MannyFresh1254 LMFAO I was agreeing with him. HE said "the game had better Ultimates and jutsu."

I said it had MUCH better.

And no, thanks. Im keepin it to my self. Its my last bit and Ive been waiting for my dealer for the longest time.

[MannyFresh1254]

@dcent2 awww i cant get a little hit?

[MegaTobins98]

@ixAkatsukix

no one will bitch at you cause you ar right

[gyrobasel]

@ixAkatsukix well.......i guess this is what u get when u make a game multi-platform :P

[RyanGallagher5]

@ixAkatsukix I Completely Agree with you, lets hope they will make Generation a little more like this!

[TheHeroKyon]

@ixAkatsukix I Agree :]

[EUSL84]

the ps2 game was better.

[sboss]

i actually think this game is more visually appealing than the second one.

[supervegito2277]

casual fighting?? yeah right nasty boot to the face.

[supervegito2277]

if i didnt knew as much about this game as i do, this review might have made me pass, they are not showing the english voices, which is why ultimate ninja 5 wasnt so good imo

[NarutoCircle]

Hope they will make Storm 3 soon!

[Darkfang2u2]

@NarutoCircle there would be no point though

[shipuden97]

@NarutoCircle they are working on spring i think it will come out :)

[Lenrom12]

@shipuden97 wat do u mean they are working on spring

[quicksilver2055]

@NarutoCircle they are.

[bekir89]

@NarutoCircle They are, Naruto ultimate ninja storm GENERATION, Looks awesome Can't wait to play with Haku and Zabuza

[limitsora69]

@NarutoCircle already out in Japan

[Rastafarienkidfinney]

@limitsora69 No it is not it is only in development.

[limitsora69]

@Rastafarienkidfinney sorry ment to put Demo

[TheFlamingBullets]

@NarutoCircle they are theres a vid on ign

[Anuj071]

@NarutoCircle Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Genarations.

[dylanward002]

@NarutoCircle have you seen the trailer yet?

[narutomy1]

@NarutoCircle a so called storm 3 would be naruto ultimate ninja impact. Cause it'll be the same battle system as storm

[Toribot]

@narutomy1 No, Storm 3 is Generations for PS3 and 360, which is out next year. Impact doesn't even have Storm in the title.

[SSJCerious]

@Toribot No. The ACTUAL "Storm 3" won't come out until the series is finished. Generations is the step between Storm 2 and 3.
