Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Review - New Gamer Nation

New Gamer Nation - Naruto is a name almost everyone recognizes to some extent, even if you aren’t necessarily into anime. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is the latest video game spin-off of the highly successful animnated series. It takes the general game mechanics from Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, but adds a few bells and whistles to present a more updated game. There is a question that is always asked when a game is a spin-off from a popular franchise: is the game actually good, or is good gameplay sacrificed for an overload of fan-service for loyal fanboys to geek over? Well, truthfully, this game is made for and played by Naruto fans, but that doesn’t mean you should completely disregard it.

It's a good game, but is really the worst of the series. A lot of important battles were just normal battles without the cinematic feeling (and QTEs). in UNS 2 almost every battle was epic! I wanted the fights with the jinjuriki to be epic, instead I got 6 at the same time and it was crowded and it was the same as fighting the white zetsus... meaning just a meh fight. ..

I hope they improve A LOT with the next one, because if they are going to make the next fights, which are epic as they can be, just like this the game will fail.

Not to mention them leaving out important characters from being playable and them refusing to add them as DLC while give us absurd costumes.

0/5 is harsh however it's not worthy of being called a full priced sequel.

[ZeroX9876]

um, 0/5 so for this guy, big rig is a better game than this?!?!?!?

[Shadonic]

That had to be the worst review I ever read. It's like If I produced an incredible series of movies that got great reviews but this one reviewer gave it a straight 0 not because of the story or the quality but because he didn't understand who the characters were because he just jumped in.

I may be wrong on some parts but from what I've read this guy is just some random guy reviewing something he didn't even bother to study or learn about and is giving it a low score because of his laziness and negligence to review it from the standpoint of someone who at least played and bought the previous 3 other titles. You wouldn't come into the last Harry potter book expecting to know everything that happened before than and blaming the author because YOU didn't read it.

I give this review a freaking -9000/10

[deep_fried_bum_cake]

I'm not going to click the website to view the review but I see often enough in reviews of anime games that the reviewers score the games down because the haven't bothered looking into the series at all. This is just ridiculous though.

I've rated the story and site accordingly.

[GamersXTREME]

The interesting thing is that this reviewer doesn't understand what a "0/5" signifies. As a critic myself, I can completely level with other critics opinions...that is when they're logically backed up.

When I received the review copy for this game, I thought "Damn, I don't know anything about this series..." However, within the time frame I had to complete the game and write up a review for it, I chose to thoroughly research the series' material and speak with a friend of mine who's a die-hard Naruto fan. Knowing that I was reviewing a game under such a huge fan base, it's only right that I service the fans with a review that catered toward their much beloved franchise.

The funny thing is, not knowing anything about the series' history or story, I was really engaged in the experience and was able to pick up on the characters backgrounds. I'm sorry but I have to respectfully disagree with this site's "0/5" score. If a game is getting that score, it means it's completely unplayable and there's not a single redeemable quality. A "0/5" means there was nothing on the disc when you put the game in your system.

[DroppinLoot]

Hey sorry there was an error in the code on our site the review is actually a 7.5/10 not a 0/5. Apologies for the mistake. We don't hate Naruto!

[Shadonic]

Then all is forgotten.

[raWfodog]

Even Naruto haters gave it a 2/5 or a 6/10. To give it a zero just smacks of desperation for hits. Please do not click on site and thumb down accordingly.

[Williamson]

Wouldn't 0/5 mean the game is unplayable? Horrible review! We see reviews giving out dumb scores like this all the time, so its best we don't give this site hits and move on to another good article/review. Its obvious that this game was made for fans of the series, so much care was put into the story and characters that giving it a 0/5 is just stupid.

[SpiralTear]

Pretty much. A 0/5 implies that the game is fundamentally and foundationally unplayable as a game. If the reviewer gave the game that score due to the difficulty in understanding the subject material, that then implies that the subject material is 100% of a game, which in my recollection, is false.

[SpiralTear]

Please, please, PLEASE tell me that the 0/5 score was an accident, because the content of the review doesn't match up with the verdict in any way.

[MrAnderson]

rate the site down people, a 0/5? thats just trolling for hits.

[KillaManiac]

Not giving the website hits. Its a obvious hits bait review.

[kevinsheeks]

even if you hate this game it still should sit within the range of 6/7 but a 0 >.>

when you give either a 5,10, or 0 your expected to go into greatttt detail above and beyond with stone cold hard proven evidence and explanations . . . I want to say well it's a matter of a persons opinion but when your opinion has the potential to sway others we can't let just anything slide

p.s. typing without my glasses is hard >.<

[TongkatAli]

O O if that is really the score. I will not click on this disgrace of a review.

[ps3_pwns]

i will never visit that site ever got an app for my browser to block sites so i will have no trouble avoiding this one now or in the future. will also tell my friends the site is crap if they ever visited or tell me about it. this reviewer gonna learn something today. a big lesson for what happends when you go full retard.

[kevinsheeks]

lmao the full retard comment made me laugh out loud you sir get a bubble lol

[Reborn]

There's always one site which tries to lure the hits in.

[Y_5150]

LOL! <-- my reaction when seeing this article/review.
I'm pretty sure this game isn't worst than Tony hawk ride, that game most likely deserved a 1/5 rating. I have Storm 3 so I can safely say it's a great game! :)

[TongkatAli]

Was playing it yesterday at a friends house, fing epic game. I think it's the best anime game ever made.

[MetalArcade]

"Ninja Storm 3 is certainly a fun game"... and you gave it zero stars. Worst review ever. Just a BS score for linkbait.

[DroppinLoot]

It was a problem with the review code on the site def not a link bait. Apologies the real score is 7.5/10!

[WeskerChildReborned]

Lol 0/5 is completely trolling, the game is alright but it's nothing like a 0 should be(non playable or just completely flawed).

[DroppinLoot]

Hey Guys look seriously sorry for this review. It has been updated. The review was a 7.5/10. There was an issue with the code that basically blanked it out. Again seriously sorry about that!!!

[newgamernation]

I know this is late, but this was just brought to our attention. There was a mistake in the code which called the application we use to create review stars but because of the error it failed to display the score properly and registered the default zero. I think it was evident by the review that the reviewer didn't find anything that was worth giving the score a 0. besides our system is from 1 to 10 so a zero isn't even possible.

We apologize for the error and I take complete responsibility. It was a simple error that just got overlooked in the editing process. Again we are sorry for the error and it is displaying as it should. If anyone wants to speak to me (the Editor in Chief) about this personally, please send me a message.

[gano]

LOL!?

Even if it was, somebody said fuc it and did it.
For a second, bravo.

[newgamernation]

I understand that some could see this as some kind of publicity stunt, but I assure you, it was a simple mistake. We posted over 300 articles on N4G without any mistakes like this, but we are only human like everyone else.

We apologize again for the deception and we assure you it will never happen again. We are running an honest outlet and we hope you all can forgive us.
