    In the end I found Naruto to be a great experience, and also developed an appreciation for the series. I may never cosplay as any of the characters, but over the course of the time I spent with the title, I found myself engrossed in the story and loving the frantic ninja warfare.

    The swan song of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 couldn't be louder with this fantastic release that improves upon so much from previous titles.

    Bandai Namco and CyberConnect2 have done some amazing work here, and everyone who's a fan of the show needs to play this game.

    CyberConnect2 have done it again, and it’s very sad knowing that (at this time) Ninja Storm 4 is confirmed to be their last Naruto game. However, this game has so much content, that I honestly don’t know if we need one. They’ve served their purpose of illustrating the story of Naruto, and they’ve really wrapped it up with their best game yet.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is the worthy conclusion to Masashi Kishimoto's saga and the best game in the series yet, successfully managing to transpose the anime's spectacular and hectic fights. A game any Naruto lover should buy without hesitations.

    Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is not for everyone, but to its credit it doesn’t try to be. This game shines with pride knowing it gave it’s all to celebrate fans of the Naruto Shippuden anime and doesn’t look back.

    If this is indeed the last chapter of CyberConnects beat-em-up saga, it is a worthy farewell. You can’t expect anything new or revolutionary but you’ll get a content rich brawler with a distinctive anime-design.

    Stunning to behold and hugely enjoyable to play, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 can sometimes prove frustrating, but once you get to grips with it and master its combat, enjoying the blistering battles that ensue is a joy.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is about the best fans could expect from this finale.

    The final game in the series is the most refined. It also benefits from being the first game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, so the fidelity is the best by far. The conclusion to the series continues to refine what makes it appealing. The fighting still feels great, if not a bit shallow. It was fun seeing the evolution of the franchise in one package. It is hard to argue the value here. I have always enjoyed the Ultimate Ninja Storm games even without knowledge of the source material. The fighting is fun and the stories are always over-the-top madness. This package delivers hours of fun and a solid look into the lore of Naruto.

    Fans will love how Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 captures the look and carnage of Naruto's anime battling, but it's too restrictive and repetitive to convince as a standalone fighting game. [Apr 2016, p.89]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Bandai Namco & CyberConnect2 trully made a master piece and a grand finalle with Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. The Storm series was a huge success from the beginning that created a big impact for Naruto fans and gamers around the world.
    Naruto Storm 4 is the best in the series due to many reasons and i will tell you why.
    Storm 4 crosses to the next gen hardware for the first and the last time and offerd CC2 developers the possibility to achieve major improvements in visual graphics, cinematics with interactive actions, particle system and a dynamic and fluent gameplay with the new features as leader change system(finally), charge dashes, link awakenings and more rounds for god sake. All of this with the bigger rouster ever that has 103 characters and with all the upcoming DLC's, the rouster will expand to 120+ characters and the story will have new chapters from The Last Naruto and Boruto Movie. Only two features are missing from this game wich I think they are essential and I hope CC2 will implement those as an update in order to have wall battles and justsu clashes. Many Storm fans would love to happen.
    Sadly to know that this is the end of the Naruto manga and anime, the Storm series has to end too. It was a beautiful story wich will last forever in every Naruto's fan heart, believe me. Naruto Storm 4 has the best story line, presenting the final stage of the 4th great ninja war and the final battle between Naruto & Sasuke for the Hokage title that everyone waited for. This epic clash will decide who's the strongest and will make Naruto's dream to become true.
    After completing the story mod, the player has the option to explore the ninja world in Adventure mod. In this mod you can form a team to take main and secondary missions, travel from a village to another, gather items and collectibles, free battles and bingo book for top wanted ninjas.
    Online battles has a issue due to the insane number of player online on servers but in rest everything works fine. You can personalize your ninja card as in previous games but with even more titles, pictures etc. and meet new players all around the world to battle for the title of #1Hokage of all times or just for fun.
    I conclusion, Naruto Storm 4 is beautiful and it closes the series with a grand finalle.
    Looking forward for the DLC's and keep the comming Matsuyama Sensei. #Datebayo    … Full Review »
