    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm takes a commendable leap forward, delivering an improved story mode while maintaining its signature visual flair and engaging gameplay.

    This game probably has the best boss battles out of every video game I have played so far. I also love the graphics, soundtrack, playable characters and open world. I definitely like it the most out of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm games

    I absolutely love this game. This game captured the entire story up until the Pain arc so perfectly. I didnt watch that part of the anime though I watched the fights. The fights in the game were easily superior than the anime when it came to capturing the emotions and action. The overall presentation was near to PERFECTION with beautiful graphics.

    While there are improvements to the combat, the presentation problems from the first game aren't fixed and the new mission design makes the game a chore to playh through at times.

    A good sequel for the first PS3 Naruto game. I personally do not like the free roam option for the main story mode (I prefer just being told the story through sequences), but the combat system fulfil its purpose perfectly. Like the other games, UNS2 is a very interesting game for any Naruto fan.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a bit of a downgrade from the original PS3 game, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm. The story takes place from the beginning Shippuden Arcs so if anyone new coming into the game, you gonna need to play Storm 1 first or watch 3 months of Naruto to understand what's going on.

The story takes place from the beginning Shippuden Arcs so if anyone new coming into the game, you gonna need to play Storm 1 first or watch 3 months of Naruto to understand what's going on. The open-world feel from Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 1 got reduced to this 3D side scroller which Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 3 had. The story in general skips a lot so don't expect this game to be your primary consumption for Naruto Shippuden. The soundtrack is well made! The versus mode in this game great for newcomers but a big, hard slap on the booty for taking out what made the original game good. Mainly because of the game becoming multi-platform with Xbox 360, all we got was a watered-down fighting experience. Also the online aspect is quite unappealing with the amount of spam (or system manipulation) a user can do. Overall it's a average to good improvement to most PS3 users but a must buy to all Xbox 360 users.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the best fighting game I have ever played and know of, and I'm very picky with fighting games. P1= Player 1, P2 = Player 2, Subs = substitution jutsu (think DBZ teleporting), atk= attack, def= defend.

    P1 begins physical O atk chain, P2 subs but P1 threw shuriken to stop them after they subbed guessing they would--chain ends.
    P1 begins O atk chain, P2 subs, P1 air dash's at P2 to stop their O chain, making them wide open for an atk but also able to sub themselves. P1 hits P2 with air dash, new O chain continues.
    P1 O atks, P2 subs, P1 air dashes but too slow for P2's jutsu after subbing ( cut scene special attack), P1 subs out of the attack though, continues O combo
    P1 begins O attack chain, P1 air dashes and starts air combo. Air combo/sub war begins.

    That's just 1v1 practical possibilities. We haven't factored in that there are team matches of each player with a main character and 2 support characters, with 3 different types of support for every character, and relationships for certain( MANY) teams getting specific boost....and this allll pours in to possible combos

    Then there's technical differences like how certain characters basic combos are better in shuriken form than in physical attacks, or techniques that teleport people around the field to attack or render them invincible for moments.

    When you think you've mastered this game you go online, and every nook and cranny is exposed so much you eventually feel the only choice is to hop around throwing shuriken at each other. But then, with tilt attacks and air dashes, team attack that hold people down and corner them, properly utilizing characters specifics to visually and mechanically outwit your oppoonent...it becomes an endless mosh pit of great potential, with only possible results, whether you play conservative and defensive, or all out offensive, or in between!

    And every match, EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO SUB TO GET THE ADVANTAGE, it's based on precise timing.
    It sounds complex, but when O is all your physical attacks the execution is always simple. But like a true ninja, the planning and how well you adapt, is what determines the winner.

    And YEAH, even VS Sasori! He's the 1 broken character, but even he takes skill to never lose a match with against anyone who knows him in and out ;)

    The only reason I gave this a 9? Story takes so long to go through just to get everything to enjoy a full experience with friends and online, it can be somewhat a drag =/. BUT WORTH IT!!!    … Expand

    one of the best naruto titles at the ps3. The graphics was awesome and the boss battles is very cool. The most exciting part is the online mode where we can compete with players around the world. There is also a free roam and requests which is kinda exciting when bored. Overall, I give this game 10/10

    Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is undoubtedly the dream game for any Naruto fan, and manages to capture the colossal battles from the cartoon better than any game before it. For non-fans however, there's a lot of backstory to go through before getting to the meat of the game. The fighting system seems overly simplistic at first, but then requires you to master it fully in order to progress, which might prove frustrating for some players.
