На добрых 10+ часов игры хватит, на 15+ если с другом, но в сравнении с NTSD 2.4 и Naruto Shippūden: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! Special - не очень. В тех частях с друзьями отсидели по 50+ часов из-за возможности менять тактику и адаптироваться под игрока как в МК. Expand

    Another sequel to the Storm saga, what changes is the story and the characters with different abilities, as the rest looks like the same game.

    Pros: - Graphics, combos and animations are good. - Fights are well done and fun - Boss battles remain a show apart with QTE. - Walking on the maps has become a drag, there's nothing to do, or extra to unlock until the end of the campaign. -

    A good Naruto-fighting game that takes place after Pain Assault Arc. It's not the most breathtaking or compelling videogame or anything but worth the money if you like Naruto.

    I didn't play this game until it was over, so I started.
    The game is beautiful, no problem until the tailed monster section. Actually, there's not much wrong with the tail monster part, but the animations in the episode I'm talking about aren't very attractive. If you've seen the anm of this game, you'll definitely like it.

    In my opinion, this game have a great storyline, including The 4th Great Ninja War. Gameplay is ample, you can fight in a lot of places, you can play with every single character in the game with it's 'ninjustu powers' and you can explore the Hidden Leaf Village. I still didn't liked that they've changed 'the story' in the final and the game have some bugs noticeable.

    Yeah, I like Naruto. And yeah, after Storm 2, this is the best Naruto game there is. The problem is that even though the combat may be fun even for people not familiar with the series, those people will get nothing from the story, so I cannot really recommend it to them.
    If you are a Naruto fan, though, this game is a must play.

    In short: A very overrated game.
    *Lack of new characters (same copy pasted characters from older games as in WE ARE LAZY/CHEAP)
    *Unrelated plot to the anime/manga *Oversimplistic battle system, as with all other ultimate ninja storm games, in ns3 it gets even more basic (3 combos in ground, 1 in air, 1 throw, 1 special attack, 1 super attack... the end) *Too heavy reliance on video

    This is the best fighting game kinda style that I ever played. It is really fun. The art style if looks awesome and the game play is really good. The only thing I don't like that you need to set your own controls and that is really annoying, but if you do that right it is really fun to play. I totally recommend to play this game.

It had so many missing characters, no fixes from the last game, missing areas, a story mode with a stupid ending, and finally to finish it off they removed side combos. And guess what? Nothing new was added other than like 4 chracters and a new tag move. Nobody wanted any of this! Oh and the DLC was

    A horrible port for pc with unresponsive controls, a fixed fps of 20, a complete lack of graphical options and multiplayer which doesn't work. Not worth of your money but hey! At least this shows they are giving more consideration to pc instead of consoles.

    As for the game itself- no matter if for console or pc- it's just another boring licensed fighting game. Nothing much to see here.

Suffice to say that I simply downloaded a save with all characters unlocked. Most of them play the same anyway with few having different mechanics and interesting gameplays, and there is a striking lack of any depthness. I don't even know why they still have items in the right pad and this system of ougis/ninjustsus. They could change it all and make a much more interesting gameplay.
    If it didn't had the name Naruto imprited on it no one would even give attention.

    Cutscenes Although all of them are taking more than 75% of the game itself they are really connected with Naruto... These cutscenes are showing us what is to come in Anime (as game is based on manga.. not anime).. So it's really worth to watch all of them... so Cutscenes 10/10

    Characters Yeah.. .and here comes the problem... There really is a big amount of playable characters... but some of them are taking really small part in the story and those who took/are taking a big part arent playable at all... so 8/10... they are really unbalanced at some points...

    Story Well.. it fallows manga... so i've got nothing to add... 10/10... It is Naruto so nothing can get better...

    Gameplay Ultra easy... im really dissappointed by it... Bosses are 1 minute for me... And quick time events are easy and repetitive as hell... There are no combos at all, ultimate attacks arent that great as you can spamm with them and jutsus... just 1 per character.. while in anime/manga each was using more than 10.. so not really good but i've got to say it was fast paced and entertaining... 6/10

    Animations The best ever... really soo nice that every little attack was taking my eye... if you have a good pc and can play this game without any laggs you will see the purely best animations ever made in fighting game... 10/10

    Graphics Upgraded version of X360 and PS3... which means really nice... Also antyaliasing is a nice touch to PC users... if you can use it on your machine it makes the game 2x more beatiful... 10/10

    Voice Acting Yeah.. and here im dizzied... English dubbings are a real piece of sh*t... while japanesse are great... let's look at the original japanesse. and just give it 10/10 xD... if i'd look at english i'd give it 6/10... so let's not destroy the good look...

    Overall 9/10... It is purely great game... NIIIIIICE

Though the character combat is quite imbalanced, the system is deep enough for it to still be enjoyable in the long run. I do have the same gripe as most everyone else the cutscenes. While each scene is EPIC, enjoyable, and amazing, they are really long Though you have the option to skip all of them, when you do, you're left with a very skinny main campaign. The RPG game at the end is fun and varied, but traveling all over the same places many times gets tiring. Overall, it's a very balanced package well worth your time.

    I refuse to believe that the people reviewing the game has actually played the PC version. I thought I had seen the worst from CC2 but they surprised me again.
    The reason why I picked up the PC version was to get rid of the terrible frame rates on console and hopefully to get a much smoother online experience. A big disappointment I was in for.

Playing via keyboard is nigh impossible, and yet the game is really repetitive and boring as hell. It's basically a visual novel with interactive battles inbetween, and not much else to it. Oh, and battles are easily won by spamming jutsu or ultimate jutsu, chakra isn't really an issue as you can just regenerate it on command. Then, randomly, some battle would be made impossibly hard by making the player use some useless character with silly powers. But that's all, as far as difficulty goes.

    The plot is just a mashup of the main Naruto plot, therefore you'll end up skipping every single cutscene (and there's tons of them, inbetween battles).

    Seriously, I can't think of any serious reason why anyone older than 10 would want to play this crud at all, and even less on pc. Stay away from this "game" (it's not even really a game, because a game is supposed to entertain, and this one totally fails at that).
