    Here are some positive and some negative points; //Positive: || 70 characters || no more endless walking between the fights|| //Negative: || zensored cutscenes (e.g. no blood in zabuzas final attack) || no bossfights || new defense system (some times you have to leave the close combat, the old system was more action and, in the naruto universe, more realistic) ||

    This is a day-one purchase for me, and I strongly recommend it to other naruto fans. Though many of my friends who aren't even fans of the show still enjoy these games.    … Expand

    If you liked either of the past Ninja Storm games, chances are that you'll like this game.

The only real problem with the game that I saw is that the developer really put a lot less time and effort into the story mode then in the previous installments. Where as Ninja Storm 2 had an open world that you could run around in, generation's story mode just goes from fight to dialogue to fight to dialogue with the occasional cut scene thrown in. All in all, the game is alright. Fans of Naruto are sure to enjoy it.… Expand

    All the characters fight the same so I doubt its 70+ characters. This game really was just a DLC. So instead of upsetting their fans they decided to release this DLC just with new mechanics and voilà you have a new game. Not only were they cheap but they ruined the game with the new sub bar and the cancel system which seemingly turns this game into a game of cat and mouse.All the characters fight the same so I doubt its 70+ characters.

Not only were they cheap but they ruined the game with the new sub bar and the cancel system which seemingly turns this game into a game of cat and mouse. Whomever is the aggressor at the start of the game wins. It takes no skill at all. Each character only has 1 jutsu which is absurd. I can deal with the button mashing and the simplistic combos but at least give me the ability to do more than one jutsu. This game was a huge let down for me and I watch the anime and read the manga weekly. Hope CC2 can fix the problems.… Expand

    This is game is the most miserable of Naruto which I played on PS3.
    The graphics and managed more sophisticated than 2 storm, but I think CyberConnect missed his solo combat mode jeu.Le very disappointing, and in addition they were found cheating the title of Sonic Generations, which is no better, spectator mode they DBZ tenkaichi.

    This game deserves a 10! I like the previous one, Storm 2. Now I like this better. Wanna know why? They have totally tweaked the game system into something better. They limited the substitution with a gauge which is good, to prevent spamming of it and allowing combat combos to be used more. Get this game Naruto fans! Even if you're not a fan, get this game, it's a great game.

    At this point in the series I knew it would not be as good as the first game, but still gave it a shot because of the diversity in characters.

Starting with story mode you only have a few characters to start with and branches out as you complete each small story. These were very disappointing in that all it is is the biggest fights in each play through up to Danzo VS Sasuke. Each players story lasts around 3-5 fights and thats it, which again is very irritating. As for the 60+ minutes of anime that they say is new, it is in reality mostly clips from farther in the anime(those following the english dubbed will know what I mean), but there are a few new clips that were pretty good. The graphics have sadly stayed the same and are only alright in HD. Those who enjoyed the second game will like this one, but those of us who were hoping for another Storm 1 will be left wanting more... The specials which were already slipping in 2 have become even poorer in quality and tend to only last a few seconds. All in all it was a game that as a fan I could kinda enjoy apart from the rushed story mode, last minute specials, and average graphics.… Expand

    This game is one of the best Naruto game I've ever played in ps3 console. The graphics was sucessfully done and there are many modes in free battle compared to storm 2. The new system in the free battle mode is very helpful and makes the game even more fair. The story mode is short but the animated cutscene was very epic and beautiful

    This is by far the best Naruto game that I've ever played in PS3. I know that the combat systems was very, very similar with the previous one. But, it added many features that make the gameplay more balanced. The story mode was also very good. It even tells the past of those famous shinobi in the series. I miss the boss battles, though. I hope they added in storm 3

    if you're a fan of naruto you will probably like this but you can't do anything else then just fight that's the only thing the campaign is well short and not really campaign at all
    there is a multiplayer but is probably full of super fan boy naruto mlg's who make it almost impossible to win
    and not worthy of the price this is more of an extra too buy not 60 dollars if it would been 30 ok

    A good game to play with friends in the free play mode, because this game has several characters, but his campaign is not good for me because it has more open world fights are divided into the history of each comic book character one thing is that we had some improvements to the combat system, the end is a good game.

    Together with UNS4, this is my favourite Naruto video game. The combat system is as good as always, but I particularly like the way the storyline is told (through anime sequences). Besides, it covers a much larger part of the story than the other games, which is what future Naruto games should do as well. The number of characters is also quite important.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is another great entry into the franchise based on the popular anime. With content from both previous installments and greatly improved flow of combat, thanks to some minor but incredibly welcome changes, it's better than ever. The outstanding audiovisual collaboration is as always the icing on the cake.
