If you already know naruto then ya, i gave this a 10 and i think if you're a fan of the series this game has enough depth to the fighting and cool collectibles to buy in the in game store to keep you entertained and having a good time. That being said if you are like me, I bought this game not knowing anything about this series, never seen the show or anything. But it had a close enough style to dragon ball z and that was good enough for me. But even with dbz i was mostly a casual fan (havent seen them all, but liked the games and fighting) and this game looked wild with the finishers and combos. After about 5 minutes in the practice mode i could tell i was gonna like this a lot more than dragon ball xenoverse. The visuals were mind blowing and the combos were imaginative and unique to character. Some combos in this games look just as crazy as certain finishers! And after my first hour or so messing around with characters trying to find my favorites, i knew i had to get into the series and know the back stories to all these amazing fighters. Let me just say, this game may have just made a huge naruto fan out of me. And if you can dig a show like dragon ball z, then this series could be just right for you. Im only on season one episode like 9 or 10 right now but between that and the game im totally hooked. And they have seasons 1-4 (about 50 episodes each!) On netflix. Although i think im going to buy the entire book collection and dvd set just to have them personally. Sorry to ramble on about more than the game, but i just want to let those of you who dont know anything about the series and are on the fence about getting this game, to know that i have this game to thank for getting me into something im truly gonna go all out on. I love this game and i can tell im going to love this series… Expand

    This game reached the top of anime games. The Battles, bosses, all the jutsus and transformations to Susanoo...just awesome. and you can experience the end of the anime series before anime.

    First Naruto Storm game. Went beyond my expectations.

    The huge roster consisting of pretty much everyone in the series may be pretty intimidating and confusing to an average person but perfect way to end the series for their intended audience.

    It's a very casual fighter but has enough depth to be entertaining and challenging. It's not intended to be an E-sports candidate.

    There are some frame rate drops during the 1 vs mob fights in the story mode, not game breaking but noticeable.

    It's a 9/10 for me because I think while it doesn't really standout as a fighting game, it sets a new standard for the anime fanservice fighting game subgenre. I didn't take points off for the netcode issues because I play with my friends locally so it's really not an issue for me, and to be honest the few matches I played online weren't bad so I think it varies from people to people.    … Expand

    A solid fighting game with a humongous character roster, artful story mode and plenty of unlockables make Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 one of the best anime adapted games to date.

Graphically, the game has not improved much since it's many past incarnations on previous generation hardware, but the over-the-top action and drama sequences in the relatively short story campaign are quite stunningly portrayed. The frame-rate remains steady this time around, even with six interchangeable fighters using insane special moves and attacks on-screen at one time, so there is no slowdown during player combat, unlike the previous titles in this series. In addition, there are several survival, challenge and tournament modes, all of which are fun and rewarding. The addition of an after-story RPG mode adds to the overall length of the game, though it is nowhere as impressive as the main campaign mode. This game is definitely a shining example of what anime licensed titles should strive for.… Expand

    This game is filled up with lots of emotion, action, and entertainment. I will recommend each and every gamer to get this game. Its story is heart-touching. Gfx is fabulous and Animation is outstanding. This game not only makes you play as naruto, but also feel as naruto...Highly recommendable. "that's my ninja way

This game helped me ease my rage of Killerincompletestinct on Xbox One, MKX XL and Street Fighter V: Lackluster edition. A wonderful yet debatable way to end the fighting game series.

We just have a cool little timeline. The gameplay is refined with many new features, such as team switch and the round system. CC2 really worked hard to make this game the perfect storm!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I bought and played ninja storm series but for me i was instantly amazed when i played this game the graphics were so good and there are so many characters to play with in VS mode. The story mode was great because it's just like watching the entire war series of the naruto shippuden thanks to the crappy fillers in the naruto shippuden episode, i appreciate the story mode of this game. I'm still not finish playing the game because i just bought it yesterday but i would really recommend you guys buy and play this game and btw don't believe IGN's Bullsh*t review about this naruto game IGN gave this game a 5.5 rating and i was like WTF. for me this game is 9/10 by far.… Expand

    Here the reason why...
    Pro- Everything looks great and excellent for me, story mode, battle mode, online mode seems to be nearly perfect.
    Cons- Bit disappointing on adventure mode. Not what I imagine, cannot satisfied me.

Only minor elements were changed, leaving much left to want afterwards. Much of the challenge from the last game was lost, in its place the game feels lacking by the time you finish the great story mode. The adventure mode feels like a chore, and is very unrewarding. Everything else, while was good, felt dated and recycled. Including the lack of many new characters (only the newer madara, naruto, sasuke, and a few other new characters were added.) The rest of the characters were simply recycled. I was hoping for new team ultimate combos, or more fun game modes to play around in.

    In general, however, one may argue that the storm series is very good as it is and doesn't need much change. The game-play is always fun and the animations are brilliant. Combat is very smooth and responsive. Hopefully additional downloadable content would make this game even better than it already is.    … Expand

    Most beautiful anime game to date, a definite treat to any naruto fan. Very entertaining story mode besides the still anime pictures. Combat is fun, still too casual but it looks better than ever. Storm fans like me will be disappointed by the lack of new characters/modes.. A boring adventure mode and still anime picture in the story mode hold back this game to true perfection..

    It's very hard for me to give a game a perfect score, especially with this new generation of **** ports, unfinished games and unfair DLC plans. Yet after spending countless hours in Storm 4, I was left in quite a speechless state. The story mode does the Naruto franchise justice in more than one way, almost surpassing the anime and manga in terms of story telling and drama.

Yet after spending countless hours in Storm 4, I was left in quite a speechless state. The story mode does the Naruto franchise justice in more than one way, almost surpassing the anime and manga in terms of story telling and drama.
    It took me around 7 to 8 hours to get through it, but even then I barely scratched the surface of the game. Aside from the story mode, there's a highly addictive free battle mode that's full of over 100 characters. In addition to free battle, you can take part in tournaments, and survival mode is a blast that pushes you to the limit by pitting you against countless enemies as you try to go up in streaks.
    If that's not enough, there's another mode called adventure mode. This is basically an open world rpg in which you try to complete a certain set of missions and quests in the world of Naruto, and even though it's a step backward from the same mode in Storm 3, it still is a lot of fun.
    Not only are you getting a beautiful story, you're also getting a full fledged deep fighter and an open world rpg, In the end this is a game that bleeds content, and in an age where developers are releasing unfinished and empty games for full price, Storm 4 stands out as a change in the positive direction.    … Expand

    The trademark boss battles return in story mode, which brilliantly retells and captures the climax story of the fourth great ninja war. This is great because for anime fans who have had enough of filler, this game is a must play.

    Also with regards to combat this time around, types are now gone. Which means no more having to choose awakening, drive or ultimate type before a match, you have access to a characters entire repertoire. The disgraceful counter system that was in storm revolution has also been adjusted, now in only knocks away your opponent instead of stunning them. The new leader switching is great fun and adds new dynamics to gameplay and of course the number of new secret techniques and combination secret techniques are just incredible. They are visual spectacles of beauty.

    There's so much more to talk about, but what I've just mentioned is what I feel is most important. Online play is pretty much the same as it's always been, so I won't really go into that, few changes here and there but nothing huge. This is a must buy for all Naruto fans.    … Expand

    UNS4 will delight the fans of the series (i.e. with tons of playable characters that come with unique techniques) and leave everyone else wandering what the hell is going on. However everyone will admit that the scope of some fights is astonishing. [04/2016, p.51]
