    When I played this I was familiar with the Naruto storyline but knew almost nothing about the Shippuden storyline, and now that I've played through it I can say that the story and the way it is told in this game is fantastic, it's deeper, darker, and more emotional then than the previous Naruto series, characters new and old are fantastic, and after playing through this I'm ready to getWhen I played this I was familiar with the Naruto storyline but knew almost nothing about the Shippuden storyline, and now that I've played through it I can say that the story and the way it is told in this game is fantastic, it's deeper, darker, and more emotional then than the previous Naruto series, characters new and old are fantastic, and after playing through this I'm ready to get back into this series and start obsessing over these characters all over again, however while the story and characters are fantastic the gameplay is not, don't get me wrong it provides mindless fun and it feels great taking down a hundred or more enemies at once, it's extremely repetitive and you'll mostly be doing the same thing throughout the game's lengthy story mode, and you're fighting brain-dead AI who sometimes just stand there and don't fight back, but it packs a lot of content in the form of things to unlock, co-op missions (locally or over Ad-Hoc), and bonus missions, and the graphics and sound are great, if your a Naruto fan with a PSP I highly recommend it to you even with it's issues, however if you've already dismissed the Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden anime and games as unenjoyable this won't change your mind, but if you are a fan this is a game that I can see remaining in your PSP for possibly hundreds of hours while you level grind, collect cards, play the co-op and extra missions, or just replay levels again and try to best all of the challenges, I know I loved it even if just for the story and you might to.… Expand

    Jogo Ok de se jogar mesmo que não seja fã da serie. Tem um sistema bem simples, alguns extras e jogabilidade intuitiva. Os problemas não atrapalham a experiencia. Não é um game memorável mas cumpre honestamente o seu papel.

    Great Naruto game I don't understand the rating, it was so much fun, adventurous and a little more modern than the past games.
    Diversity is great and the gameplay is smooth not like the other Naruto fighting games.

    Namco Bandai and Cyber Connect 2 are usually a winning combination with Naruto games. But with Ultimate Ninja Impact, it really feels like they phoned it in.

    These guys need a wakeup call, now! This once great franchise is completely falling apart. Graphics? Weak. Audio? Even worse. Gameplay? Well, the controls are smooth and the card system is okay, but this is just a bay of good in a sea of bad.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Impact is a new way to play a Dynasty Warriors game. The boring gameplay, a trademark in the Tecmo Koei's franchise, is the main issue o this tie-in, but if you really do like Naruto you could have a decent amount of enjoyment with this PSP game.
