IGN:Bold, brash and bombastic, the world of Naruto and his ninja cohorts seems tailor made for video games. Often revolving around larger-than-life conflicts and epic battles, this tale of a young warrior with overwhelming power has been the subject of numerous games, including two previous installments of the Ninja Storm series (which are themselves part of a long-running Ultimate Ninja franchise). While deriving much from its predecessors, Ninja Storm Generations continues to refine itself in a few key ways. The series still struggles from some of the same pitfalls, but make no mistake about it - this is a gorgeous game that should be played by avid fans and casual observers alike.

I am a huge Naruto fan. I’ve been watching the show since 2007 and love every bit of it. Unfortunately the Naruto video games do not touch the level of quality the anime displays. Sure, if you’re a Naruto fan, playing Ultimate Ninja 2 is going to be fun, but the games lack the depth and strategy other fighting games have. Even a party game like Smash Bros has more skill involved with the battle system than most Naruto games. The Clash of Ninja Revolution games do a decent job of building a Tekken or Street Fighter type of game but ultimately fall short because of balancing, shallow depth, and button mashing tendencies. In this article, were going to discuss my vision for a perfect Naruto game. This Perfect Naruto game will not only be accurate to the anime, but will also have deep fighting game mechanics that actually takes skill to master.
It seems like six months can't go past without another video game based upon the popular 'Naruto' anime being either announced or released. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations, the third in Namco Bandai's Ninja Storm series, came out earlier this year. The title takes some of the better elements of the first two games and adds some original content of its own to provide an above-average anime-inspired video game fighting action experience.
Namco Bandai announces over 1 million copies of have been shipped worldwide.
Sold my copy this afternoon..
Some problems of ninja storm fixed but this one introduced others .. and it felt incomplete and inférior in term of content.They better do a better job for Storm 3 or they'll not have my money ..
I`m still waiting for the price to drop down further before I get it.
Though I wish I had it now!!
Huge single player content,new online modes and tons of characters.Totally digging it.
