NARUTO: Ultimate Ninja STORM

Will not detect any controller or keyboard at all. The most beginner level item for any developer is to make sure the play can actually PLAY THE GAME. Nothing I've done works, no trouble shooting help, no amount of restarts or on and off of this setting or device fixes anything. Worthless company that made a cheap port.

Yeah, this is fun. Your mileage may vary depending if you like the show, but the series are just cozy. The music, the ambiance. The gameplay is a simple fighting game, with like a few difficult curveballs thrown in the end. Late game missions can be as difficult as some fights in Elden Ring and Dark Souls but like 2 of them, the rest of the game is just family friendly fun for all ages. Now, every game in the series is different in some way or the other. This one focuses on exploring Konoha, not exactly an open world type of game, it is quite short and it goes through the Chunin Exams, all the way to the Sasuke Retrieval Mission. The reason why Haku isn't in this one despite being the first in the series is because the previous PS2 titles did that part, so this is like a sequel to the PS2 games. There is some mild grinding required to reach the end then you need to take on some challenges to reach the full ending but it takes less than 40 hours to fully complete with everything. All in all, it is short and sweet and if you like the source material, more power to you.

While I enjoyed the Ultimate Ninja Storm series, and have always wanted to own all four for nostalgic purposes, I realize now I never actually played the original Ultimate Ninja Storm. I went from Ultimate Ninja 3 to Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 in order to catch up on the story of Naruto. Anyway, I play this game now as an adult and I have to be honest It kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks. The open world is clunky and kinda bland, the way it goes about telling the story of the first part of Naruto is by having a series of missions you have to do in order to earn mission xp to do story missions. These are often minigames or other fights with special conditions. This leads to doing a lot of fights I don't care about in order to experience story content. Story content that SKIPS THE LAND OF WAVES ARC ENTIRELY. Which is unforgiveable. You also have to find upgrades in the open world. Which is again, not interesting. I will probably play this to completion to just because I have no girlfriend and nothing else to really do with my time outside of work right now and because I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love Naruto.

Really fun game. I watched the whole anime this 2026 and I wanted to find some Naruto games that are fun and I sure did. Awesome game!!

If you have an Xbox 360 do your self a favor do not buy this game and buy Naruto Broken Bond is a way better game that tell the story of the first gen in a much better way and in a way more fun adventure way. Anyway we are not here to talk about Naruto Broken But naruto storm 1. The game has beautiful animation and some fun mechanic but way to simplified and can barely do any different combo (compared to broken bond sorry i did it again lol) First of all before you purchase this game i encoutered a couple issue before i was able to play. First you will need to download c++ Visual studio 2013 on microsoft website otherwise the game will not launch on steam. Second Issue i had after fixing the first issue is that i had no game sound.. To fix this you need to download directX Runtime something you should be able to find your information on internet. The last issue i had was razer synapse fault but it was making my keyboard look like a controller so it was not letting me map or move out of the controller mapping mode so i uninstall razer synapse 4 (not naruto fault but through was worth mentioning) Also beware some achievement also have issue you will need a second controller to b…

Even if you REALLY love the Naruto franchise like me it's a really tough sell. THIS PORT IS ABSOLUTE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!! TLDR: Unless you actually want to experience "Early Storm" I'd skip straight to Storm 2 which has amazing boss fights and Storm 4/Connections which have infinitely better combat, visuals and more characters/mechanics. Also the combat is REALLY not at competitive level yet, even as a fighting game it's a questionable buy. Finally watch out 'cause the game doesn't have an auto-save, it's really stupid for a 2008 game... Combat: It's extremely unrefined but you can still have some fun with it, although it HAS to be locally or against a CPU since the game lacks online play in every way. Low level AIs are braindead to beat and higher level AIs have frame 0 reaction and spam substitution which is really not fun at all, they're never too hard to beat but it's certainly annoying, especially when you want the BS bonus points. Subs also feel extremely bad for both the comboer and the subber since they boil down to "spam block until you get away", no real skill or fun involved for most peple. Campaign: You are forced to play (mostly boring and repetitive) side missions to get "M…
