Naruto Storm 3 follows the story of the anime and manga and it begins exactly where Storm 2 ended, is really hard to describe precisely the story but basically Naruto is our main character and he is a ninja so we follow him in his journey in becoming a strong and reliable ninja and person while dealing with the now inminent Fourth Great Ninja War.
Ultimate Storm does a fantastic job at telling this huge and heart-warming story but unfortunately beacuse it focus so much on the story the cutscenes become really long sometimes without any gameplay whatsoever some people may find that boring or tedious specially if you read the manga or watch the anime theres nothing new here, however the voice acting is superb and the graphics are very colorful and cheerful.
There are some fighting scenes to balance the cutscenes but the AI is almost everytime too easy to beat so the fight ends rather quickly only to lead you to another cutscene also worth noting are the incredible boss fights which are really fun and have a very Devil May Cry style plus when you get to the point of a very important fight like Sasuke Vs Naruto this is when the game shows how amazing it can be, first you have to choose whether Legendary path or Hero path, the first one has a higher difficulty so it represents more of a challenge in contrast to the Hero path, depending on that decision the fight will go in a different course also you gain points which affect the items you carry, letting you carry more of them and unlocking more products for you to buy, the Legenday items are more offensive such as bombs and kunais and the Hero items are potions for your life and chakra; now it does not matter which path you chose, the story does not change and why should it? the story is already been told so changing events would have been out of place and unnecessary.
The gamplay is really simple some say too simple, every character has about one ninjutsu, one ultimate ninjutsu and three combos that involve the pushing of just one button and sometimes the left stick and is because of this that every single character feels almost the same when you play, this simplicity may be a sword of doble-edge, on one hand is easy to pick up if you are a newcomer but for the more veteran players the simplicity of the controls are a disappointment, that being said the controls do have some some depth in them and the fights involve some basic strategy,for example you have a very limited amount of "escapes" or substitutions you can do to get out from an enemy combo so you have to know when and how to use them nevertheless the complexity of the game mechanincs cant compare to other fight game like Dead Or Alive or Tekken, to name a few. On a more high note the list of playable characters go to 80 so its almost sure that anybody you cant think is in here.
Overall Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is a game thats fun and really shines when played with friends, at the end of the day is a game that focus on fans so if you are a fan of the series then this game is worth checking out, if you are looking for a true epic experience then look somewhere else. I give this a 7/10
