Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is a spectacular action game with anime drawings based on the popular Naruto cartoon, where an ambitious blond ninja with a nine-tailed fox inside wins the trust of the population of Konoha to become the Hokage. To put it in plain language, the protagonist is running a presidential campaign.

Gameplay

The game offers the opportunity to complete about a hundred missions:

• The player freely travels through three-dimensional and beautiful Konoha
• Chats with the locals
• Performs dozens of small quests and battles in dynamic battles

You can climb the tallest buildings, run along the walls, walk along the ropes, and catapult yourself from roof to roof with a special cannon. The player walks around the "Village of the Hidden Leaf" and interacts with objects:

• Carries crates and barrels
• Opens secret doors
• Destroys things
• Throws shurikens
• Hides scrolls

The player can also engage in crazy fights with his favorite characters. First up: Naruto vs. Kakashi. Empty your opponent's health bar, use the “Clone Multiplication” technique, Rasengan, and ninja speed.

Visuals

Detailed shaded figures, picturesque backgrounds, impressive animation, and vivid effects - the anime drawing does its job and pleases fans.

Let's talk a little about the cons. The camera doesn't always do the job: it moves too much in combat, is too slow indoors, and makes mistakes during gun catapulting. On some screens, it's hard to understand text inserts during dialogues and explanations. The game does not adjust to a 4:3 screen resolution, the player will see black bars on the sides, which is sad. Thirty frames per second run steadily and smoothly. The colors are well chosen - in the best anime tradition. The drawings can't fail to be praised.
