Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 review by GameSpot

Like its plucky eponymous hero, Ultimate Ninja 3 gets by on sheer charm. Unlike the boy ninja, its ninjutsu is weaker than watered-down ramen. No, it isn't much of a fighting game. But it's so faithful to its source material, it should nevertheless provide hours of good entertainment to fans of the series. It has two short single-player modes, pitch-perfect writing, flawless voice acting, spit-shined graphics, and a surprisingly entertaining dating system. All of this is stuffed with the usual long list of unlockable characters, item collection, several terrible minigames, and of course, the wimpy combat. If you're looking for a good fighter, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for an interactive and sweet-tempered trip to Hidden Leaf Village, this is the game for you.

The Good
* Awesome production values, from graphics to voices
* Good original storyline
* Quirky and authentic character interactions
* Very entertaining for six hours.

The Bad
* Not entertaining at all after that
* Horribly shallow fighting system
* Bad minigames.

Come on, it's a game for fans only. It' Not Halo.

BTW, i just got the game, to find out that it frezze when i try to play it on my Ps3 (80GB). It's just me? it's something wrong with the disc? is there a way to fix it? Does Sony Hate me? Should i kill myself?

Agree with everything except SAO Lost Song. It should be replaced with either Rehollow Fragment or Hollow Realization.

Also there are a few other anime games that were pretty decent:
Gungrave
Berserk (dreamcast)
One Piece Grand Adventures/Battle Rush
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in Shell PS1
Yugioh games
Bleach Soul Resurrection
Cowboy Bebop
Hajime no Ipo
Steins;Gate
Nitroplus Blasters
Dengenki Bunko
MS Saga

And as for anime like games:
Persona
Blue Dragon
Tales games (my favorites being Vesperia, Symphonia and Graces)
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea
HDN

Killer is dead, no more heroes (USA wii versiom), No more heroes 2, killer 7, okami, viewtiful joe 1 & 2, god hand

I REALLY want another 2D Naruto fighter. I love the Storm games, but I'd love to see at least one more entry in the Ultimate Ninja series.

I'd do anything for an hd version of the ultimate ninja series . . With online play.
