PS3 Fanboy hands-on: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm

Namco Bandai's upcoming Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm is such a surprising treat. The PS3 exclusive has earned a lot of attention due to its fantastic graphics, but Ninja Storm features far more than just a pretty face. PS3F had a chance to play a more expansive build at Namco Bandai's E3 booth, where they took a sneak peak at the game's elusive single player mode and got some hands-on time with the multiplayer.

I really, really don't like Naruto, but I love the demo for this game. Everything is done right, and I hope they incorporate this game's fighting mechanics into more games of the same style.

I have got Naruto: ROAN for the 360 and this new PS3 game looks a lot better. Plus the fighting in this game is much better from what I played in the demo. In ROAN the fighting was just 2D (i.e. you couldn't roam about during the fight scenes), which I think they have changed for the new 360 game, but the PS3 game looks like a worthy purchase for me.

I'm on the same boat as you I really dislike Naruto but the game was actually really fun. I just hope they finally make a PS3 Bleach game already...

If you haven't watched the Naruto series, you're REALLY missing out. If you thought the DBZ series was good, wait till you see Naruto.

By the way, I love Naruto Storm. But I noticed you didn't have as much control over your moves as in the PS2 games. In the demo, there were only 3-4 different combo chains. No jutsus. And a few specials.

Much less variety than compared to Ultimate Ninja 3 for PS2. Anyways, I'll probably get this game for the 3D aspect.

But I'll be expecting a much more varied and tactical fighting game from the next side scrolling Ultimate Ninja game. ^_^

Not a fan of Naruto, but the demo was good. The visuals are impressive. I can stare at it all day. One thing that annoyed me was that YYYYOOOOO! sound.

I COMPLETELY agree about that IYOOOO! voice. I mean come ON it was alright the first time, but I replayed the demo at least 10 times to really get a feel for the characters and whatnot and everytime you have to go to a different screen and press OK it does that voice. Unfortunately I kept hearing it OVER and OVER and OVER again. PLEASE REMOVE THAT SOUND!!!!!
