Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 does a good job of explaining the series as you go along. You don’t have to be a big fan of Naruto to play the game either. The gameplay is nothing short of incredible as you play through different areas with upgraded graphics. You can also summon giant monsters to turn the tide of battle. You are also able to summon other Naruto characters to fight alongside you by using your Ultimate Jutsu. Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 is the first in the Ultimate Ninja game series to use computer-generated cutscenes. You can also destroy the town a bit in a Zelda-type way by breaking pots to find money and scrolls while participating in various mini-games. Unfortunately, Hidden Leaf Village is a little bland and it can be repetitive running around and challenging other characters from Naruto to battle you. It includes a battle royale, where you battle other characters in the Naruto universe for the right to make a new law for Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto’s Ultimate Contest single-player mode is rather long and should provide hours of fun by itself. Ultimate Ninja 3 plays a major part in the story arc of the Naruto anime and lets you play some of your favorite scenes from the show. Not only are there more characters for you to play but you can make them gigantic as well. It doesn’t make a lot of changes to the fighting system from the previous title, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, but it does come with a larger cast of playable characters. The Ultimate Ninja series has always been lauded as the better game series under the Naruto name.
