"If you tend to regard the quality of anime licensed video games as subpar, then there’s a good chance you’ve been sleeping on what developer Cyberconnect2 has been doing lately with the Naruto license. Their last entry, Ultimate Ninja Storm 2, was a pretty fun and gorgeous looking fighter based around the Shippuden time frame of the long-running anime/manga series, and took me by surprise with how much enjoyed it. So needless to say I was looking forward to what they did next with the series, and I’m happy to report that Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations is just as fun."

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!!
The new gameplay elements are nice and surely balance the characters. However the main story lacks any content other then cinematic. I would say it's still a nice game but at 60$ it lacks a bit of punch !
