    This review contains spoilers, click expand 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    … Expand

    The only other Naruto game I've played is Rise of a Ninja, which I absolutely adored. I was surprised how much I loved this game (having finished the main story and started the adventure mode). The ending of the story is amazing and quite a lot more emotional than I thought it would be.

    The fighting itself is a fun, however the lack of any substantial combo system leaves is notable.    The only other Naruto game I've played is Rise of a Ninja, which I absolutely adored.

    The fighting itself is a fun, however the lack of any substantial combo system leaves is notable. Thankfully the movement system combined with chakra charging, blocking and substitutions help make battles more tense and I enjoyed not having to flick through menus to learn combos for each character.

    Comparing the adventure mode to the free roaming of Rise of a Ninja and Broken Bonds tainted the experience for me. There is no vertical movement at all, so you're basically just walking down different textured hallways, going back and forth and occasionally getting into fights. I kind of wish they spent a bit more time and budget into making this mode more substantial, however the game still provides a lot of content as it is.

    Overall, a well told story and excellent fighting system with an insane amount of characters. A must have for any Naruto fan (even a fairly casual one such as myself).    … Expand

    Best fighting game of the year, i especially liked the part where it showed Naruto and Sasuke losing an arm each after their final battle, it was the utter best.

    This game looks amazing, and the story is the best story the series has offered thus far. This game brings the 4th war to an end, and is the final game in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm series. The action command sequences are some of the best not only in the series, but in any game. The game offers a crazy amount of playable characters (over 60) and a wide variety of ways to play.This game looks amazing, and the story is the best story the series has offered thus far.

The game offers a crazy amount of playable characters (over 60) and a wide variety of ways to play. In my one day with the game so far I got to play the story entirely, as well as play a few online matches. The story has many big moments that feel larger than anything I could have imagined for the series. Now this did result in a few frame rate dips, sometimes dropping into the range of 10 fps. Another issue, although not as big of a deal was that dialogue didn't line up with animation almost all of the time. Game mechanics were solid, although difficulty would randomly spike at times. Also some of the big moments like playing as Kurama did feel a little clunky at first before getting the grip. Over all the story while playing out much like a movie, was an epic finale to the beloved story of Naruto Uzumaki. Now on to the multiplayer. For the most part the characters feel well balanced with the exception of a few "boss" characters from the story. There was some lag at times playing online, but this could be attributed to a rush of players on the servers on day 1. Over all, a game that is well worth the money, with forgivable mistakes that may very well be fixed in the near future. The game served as an excellent send off for our ninja heroes, and while they will be missed, we will hear from them again soon, through monthly dlc for the next 3 months, that will include new story content, new costumes, voices, playable characters, and more.… Expand

    Habe dieses Spiel in einem Rutsch durchgespielt... gegen Ende wunderte es mich aber langsam, warum es eigentlich keine Backgroundmusik gab... na ja eigentlich gibt es die, außer bei meinem Exemplar. Ja, alle Patches sind installiert und habe das Spiel auch nochmal von der HDD geschmießen und nochmal installiert... ohne Effekt... meine Retail Fassung scheint eben nen Schaden zu haben :-)...Habe dieses Spiel in einem Rutsch durchgespielt... gegen Ende wunderte es mich aber langsam, warum es eigentlich keine Backgroundmusik gab... na ja eigentlich gibt es die, außer bei meinem Exemplar. Ja, alle Patches sind installiert und habe das Spiel auch nochmal von der HDD geschmießen und nochmal installiert... ohne Effekt... meine Retail Fassung scheint eben nen Schaden zu haben :-)... so was hab ich auch noch nicht erlebt und mein Spieleerlebnis wäre vermutlich um einiges epischer gewesen, hätte ich die passende BGM gehabt.

    Aber gut... ansich ein spaßiges Spiel. Einfach zu erlernen aber schwer zu meistern trifft es denke ich ganz gut. Für mich, der diese Art von Spielen eigentlich nicht wirklich auf dem Radar hat und mich eher im RPG Bereich bewege konnte es ohne Probleme und schön effektgeladen durchspielen. Da ich in keinster Weise auf Kompetition aus bin habe ich den Multiplayer nicht angerührt.

    Für alle die die abschließenden Kapitel und Kämpfe von Naruto ohne Fillerflut erleben will ist dieses Spiel genau das richtige... aber nach einmal durchspielen wird es wohl bei mir nicht mehr im Laufwerk landen. Für mich ein "gespielt und fertig" Spiel.    … Expand

    Excelente experiencia y muy bueno para jugar sólo como también con amigos.
    Con sus modos de juego clásico, además de su modo historia con un excelente planteamiento
    y banda sonora impecable, a la que estamos acostumbrados de anteriores Ninja Storm.
    El modo Online es bastante malo en conectividad (al menos en Chile).

    Un juego de naruto que cierra la historia de este ninja, abarca la ultima fase del anime, la pelea final contra madara y el fin de la guerra, en general para los fans muy buen juego contando los acontecimientos de parte de la historia, aunq aveces las batallas son muy largas el juego en realidad e s muy corto.

    Otra entrega magnifica, aunque me falto la sensación de las entregas anteriores donde era necesario ir avanzando en la historia para pelear con ciertos enemigo y no como pasa en esta entrega donde son solo combates con cinemáticas

    NSUNS 4 is the peak of the storm series. The gameplay retains its fluidity from 3 and its identity as a storm game, however, it is still able to become the most in-depth it has ever been.

The inclusion of switching to supports, specific support abilities, counters, and more provide for new options and approaches to battling that haven't been possible before. The story is greatly improved by removing the overworld and zoning in on the cinematic cutscenes and QTEs. The war arc is told very well in this format, especially the final fight. Only compliant is that the lip sync is off at times. Adventure mode is essentially the overworld with a main section and side missions. It is also improved because it cuts out the monotonous travel time between locations. The rest of the game is filled with more quality content like collection, challenge league, survival, etc. The online mode is awfully laggy in every match, unless I play with one of my frriends. Worst part of an otherwise fantastic game.… Expand

    O jogo deixa muito a desejar e já começa com aquelas cutscene com foto estática, uma vergonha um negócio desses, o modo "aventura" é uma grande decepção, não tem nenhum motivo pra você jogar até pq de aventura não tem nada.
    O jogo é vazio e só combate deviam ter feito parecido com o ultimate ninja 5 de PS2, um modo open word realmente aberto e com coisas a se fazer.

    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.

    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.
