    NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM suffers the most from questionable game design choices throughout its campaign. The free battle mode, however, offers a nice variety of characters, and some customisation options and a competent enough AI to make it worthwhile.

    Nice game to play and have fun, but the minigames are very very boring to finish.

    Pas mal de contenu sans tomber dans les collectables chiants, des combats de l'animé vraiment stylés et un Konoha ouvert ou on peut se déplacer librement.

    Temps de jeu :
    ~25h

    Review Générale :
    Le jeu retrace l'histoire de Naruto du début (en passant différents moment pour être tout à fait honnête) jusqu'à son départ de Konoha. On y incarne Naruto mais aussi plein d'autres ninja de l'animé et on combat plein d'adversaires emblématiques de la série. Le jeu est plutôt sympathique (surtout si on est fan de l'animé) et on a le droit à plusieurs gameplays différents dont les phases de déplacements en 3D dans Konoha ce qui est assez agréable puisque le gameplay du jeu est en sois très sympa mais aussi très répétitif.
    Le jeu reste relativement intéressant et faisable du début à la fin cependant certaines phases de QTE sont extrêmement compliquées et nécessitent d'apprendre les inputs par cœur ce qui est très décevant étant donné que les QTE sont sensé être "réagissables" par définition.
    Le jeu n'offre pas grand chose de nouveau niveau scénario par rapport à l'animé et par moment certains dialogues sont inintéressants et long.
    Les graphismes et la musique sont agréables mais le jeu a des bugs audio très bizarres par moments.
    Bref le jeu est sympa mais ce n'est pas non plus un "must-play".

    Points positifs :
    + Un Konoha totalement explorable et ce de manière assez fluide
    + Des phases de gameplay différentes de temps à autre
    + Des bossfights et cinématiques vraiment stylés

    Points négatifs :
    - Certains QTE quasi impossibles
    - Bugs audio très désagréables

    Recommandation :
    Je ne recommande que si vous êtes fan de l'animé, que vous aimez les jeux de baston et que vous voulez un NUNS sur l'histoire de Naruto enfant et pas adolescent (shippuden).    … Expand

    Die Map dauernd wegen der Schriftrollen abzulaufen ist total nervig, die Handbücher, Gewürze und Nebenmissionen habe ich gerne aufgesammelt, muss aber auch nicht sein ;-)
    Das war damals ein Top-Spiel und es war schön es in Steam nochmal kaufen und am PC spielen zu können.    … Expand

    Back in the day, I was just a kid with a big dream: playing a Naruto video game on my PC. There wasn't a proper Naruto game for PCs at thatBack in the day, I was just a kid with a big dream: playing a Naruto video game on my PC. There wasn't a proper Naruto game for PCs at that time, and I didn't have a console either. My go-to was those homemade pixelated fighting games with tiny Naruto characters. But deep down, I always hoped that one day, I'd get my hands on a real Naruto fighting game.

    Naruto holds a special place in my heart – it's one of the first anime series I ever finished, and it left a mark on who I was back then. Sure, there are better anime out there, but Naruto's story has this unique charm that's hard to explain.

    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm brings the anime to life with stunning cinematics. I especially loved the intense Sasuke vs. Naruto scenes. The combat is a blast, and it's filled with nostalgic moments that make you grin. It's a fun fighting game, no doubt, but there's a catch – you're stuck at 30fps. Apparently, playing at 60fps messes up the timing and causes some problems, like with those QTE events. If you want a smoother experience, you've got to dive into the game's files and mess with the config.ini. Yeah, it's a bit of a letdown in 2021 to be limited to 30fps, even if you get used to it after a while.

    Remember, though, that the game isn't the full Naruto story. It's like a highlight reel of the main parts from the anime, but with some changes to fit the gameplay style.

    The real meat of the game is the fighting – it's seriously awesome. The boss battles are a standout, full of excitement and strategy. There are other types of missions too, not just fighting, which break up the pace nicely. They're not super complex, but they're a fun diversion from the norm.

    Now, there's this whole Konoha village thing that I didn't really enjoy. Naruto's movement there feels weirdly old-school, like it's from the early 2000s rather than 2008. The whole experience there, with collecting scrolls and talking to people, tries to be like an RPG but falls a bit flat.

    If you're in it for the Naruto story, I'd say watch the anime or read the manga first. Then, if you're up for an anime fighting game with a bit of story mixed in, this could be your jam. Just remember, the 30fps cap and the so-called open world Konoha with its wannabe RPG elements might not sit well – at least, that's how I feel about it.

    Oh, and the game does offer Remote Play Together for online multiplayer, which is neat. But considering the sequels are pretty much updates, I wouldn't call that a standout feature.    … Expand

    if you are interested in Naruto as a series this isn't a bad starting place it introduces a good chunk of the characters and gives you basically an abbreviated version of events from the first few story arcs from the series, but I can't recommend you get this unless it's in the Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy which has the first 3 Ultimate Ninja Storm games    … Expand

Played in 2017 on PC and was more frustrating than enjoyable. Story is stretched out by stale side missions that you need to finish to earn XP points for the main story missions. No thanks.

    Maybe played for 2-3 hours. The only small enjoyment came from great special abilities.

    Might of been a great game when it came out in 2008, but things have changed drastically and it does not hold up in 2017. Off to try UNS 2.    … Expand
