The story here focuses around the titular Naruto, and fans of the anime or manga should already be largely familiar with the events covered in the game. While this is basically just a glorified DLC (and it is an actual DLC if you already own the original title) pack, it represents the most comprehensive and complete Naruto title to date, and if you can slog your way through the intrusive story and mediocre combat there is enough here to appease most fans of the series. The recent release of Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst is essentially the complete version of Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 which was released earlier this year. If there have been any bright spots, it has been the Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm series which refined all the rough points in the Ultimate Ninja series until the game was actually fairly enjoyable. It isn’t that the games are bad, exactly, but rather that they seem content to do the absolute minimum amount of work because the developers know fans will purchase them all anyway. I have been a long time fan of the Naruto anime and manga series, and a long time begrudging purchaser of the Naruto video games.
