Review:
Ultimate Ninja Storm is your above average fighting game, the visuals have been the best for a fighting game in years. Yet there are enough problems with it that make it seem that the Naruto franchise will never get that one game that will impress critics enough. DragonBallZ had Budokai 3, and will Naruto ever get that game that will impress critics so much? Probably...Hopefully...Never!
The game is broken up into two main modes, Ultimate Mission Mode and Free Fighting Mode. Of course you should know what these modes are. Unfortunately, the game's lasting appeal is bad. You've been playing with the same characters, same story, and same fighting moves for years now. There's no lasting appeal once you've completed the game and have unlocked everything, and that won't take long.
Overall, Ultimate Ninja Storm for the PS3 is great Naruto game. This isn't the Naruto game that fans and critics have been waiting for. At this point in the series, Naruto may never have that one special game
