When I first ordered this game (4 weeks ago) I was ectastic I could finally play it. It got here today. I popped it in the PS2 and BAM!

'Please insert a playstation or playstation 2 game'

now, I retried it, and retried it again, nothing happened. Until I read this was a NTSC U/C game made specifically for that type of playstation 2. Mine is PAL. I was very dissapointed, don't get me wrong, the gameplay looks fantastic - But people outside North America (EG; Australia) I suggest you don't get this game. I suggest when ordering games from this site check your ps2/xbox or whatever you got to see what make it is before buying the game you want. I was very dissapointed because Amazon didn't warn me that it was a different region and asked if I still wanted to order it.

2/5 stars overall, sorry.

Can't play it!

Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3........

We're finally treated to the third game in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series on the PS2 in as many years and, boy, is it something. There over 40 playable characters in the game with an option to choose between English and Japanese VO. You can customize your characters with whichever ultimate jutsu you choose, you'll be able to turn some of your favorite characters into more powerful ninja and summon giant creatures as allies to help you in battle, interact with characters residing in the leaf village and accomplish over 55 missions in Ultimate Contest mode, engage in battle royale matches in 20 unique stages using either close combat or ranged weapons. The game itself takes place up to the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. It's definitely a bigger monster to contend with this time around.

Ultimate Contest is the biggest part of UN3 wherein a festival is thrown together by Lady Tsunade for the sake of visitors from the hidden village of Sand. The main event is a battle royal in which each ninja gets a crystal. When ninja fight, the winner gets the loser's crystals. The two who finish with the most crystals get to battle for the right to create a new Hidden Leaf Village regulation. You run around Hidden Leaf Village completing simple quests and challenging other characters to fights, which is somewhat similar to the game Naruto Rise of a Ninja(although UN3 came out long before that game did in Japan so, technically, it thought of the idea first). There are also a handful of minigames you'll be asked to compete in as well.

The game has top-notch production values. The graphics look simply stunning in this game(sometimes making you wonder if this isn't a PS3 game).

There isn't much that can be said bad about this game. Note, much that can be said. Meaning there is a few things that isn't so good. My biggest gripe with the game is the unlockables. Most of them are nothing you hadn't unlocked before in the previous games & that, to me, is disappointing. At least, they should give us a some new content to unlock to make it all the more pleasing to play.

Overall, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 is a game all Naruto fans should get. It's definitely the best of the series thus far. I'm not sure casual fans would be interested, honestly, not unless they're into anime & manga.

Sadly, I hear this is the last game in the series for the PS2. The series is moving onto the PS3. I do hope & pray they give it alot bigger scope on the system and continue its' success with newer and better content. PSP owners can rejoice, though, as a new game is on the way for the PSP. Look for my review when it hits the shelves.

I've been watching my friends and family play video games since Atari and the original Nintendo (both of which I still have around here somewhere). I've always thought about getting into gaming myself, but I could just never get the hang of it ... no matter how hard I tried. When I read about Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3, I knew that I would at least get it for my boyfriend to play (and me to watch).

Once I got the game home, having checked out the games official website and reading the book that comes with the game, I actually wanted to give it a try myself ... and I did! The game is a lot of fun and a true treat for any Naruto fan!

Naruto Strikes Again In Yet Another Action-Packed Game!!!

Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 is another great Naruto game. It is the sequel to Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 and the best in the series so far. The storyline is short and easy, but the missions can get very challenging. The graphics are moderately good for a PS2 game and the wide variety of characters is also a plus. If you have a PS3 (like me) you may want to wait to buy (or also buy) Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

The Greatest So Far

Take Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 and combine it with Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2. Sprinkle in a huge character roster of over 40 and add in awesome ultimate techniques. That gives you Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3. It has a story mode that has bits and pieces of the story from the anime, and also an original storyline in the RPG mode where your ultimate goal is to collect crystals and wipe out the competition to put your own rule into play in the Leaf village. Everyone goes crazy over this and a variety of interesting rules are thrown out there, but on top of course is Uzumaki Naruto. It's loads of fun; there are many stages, more moves, more characters, and ougis; lots and lots of them. As well as items and level systems that let you get more special moves and you can also customize your own justu. With that, you can really be the ultimate ninja; it's just like Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 but to a much fuller extent. It also has a unique Japanese voiceover system, not to mention the old collectibles figures ryo and videos. Much more of that this time around. That's Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 in a nutshell for you!

I had heard it was the best...

Well, I had always heard that this was the best of the game series, but I wasn't too overjoyed with it myself. Maybe I'm bias to the characters or something of the sort.

Don't get me wrong, the game IS the best of Part1 Naruto, and I'm happy to see they left the Japanese voices intact. Trust me, I switched it immdiately (no "believe it" for me, thank you).

As for the game...there is an RPG mode that can be quite fun but also quite annoying at the same time. There is the mode that lets you play through game versions of story event highlights which unlocks various characters...
...You can customize your character anyway you like it. Personally, I don't like the over-customizablity. Bias again? I don't really know.

I don't know, mabye it was because I played the 4th and 5th game before the 3rd...I was expecting something great when people continually bashed those games and stated that this one was the best.
...Playing it though, I find that I really didn't see a grand difference in some parts. Mabye I'm just bias to having more Akatsuki members, which is likely. Or maybe I just really REALLY like the 5th game and the whole partnership system.

Well, I'll just blurt it out. This game is the greatest of the ones released in the US so far. If/when the 4th and 5th come out, It'll change for me, but that's my preference. I don't find this one incredibly difficult in any way and I have basically ignored the customization to an extent on my part.... especially since you tend to have to to lame quests for random people (I'm not gonna have to find wood for Kankuro am I? that was lame...he was just in a forest. >.<)
...As usual I like the mass of character selection and that they all fight differently--something that always annoyed me in other fighting games. The whole, if a character is slow, he is actually SLOW in this game (Chouji, I'm refering to you!). Well, it's all good; might not be the greatest, but perfect for Naruto fans and fighting game fans alike. If you dont' like either, why are you here?

I was expeting better

The quality of this game would depend on what you are looking for to begin with. The graphics are great, and you can play as more than thirty characters in VS mode. Unfortunately, there isn't much else to do besides fight one on one battles and do tedious missions that usually involve running across the tiny village to speak with one person, and then doing a quick battle that requires no real effort. There isn't really a storyline besides the contest that Tsunade announces. She asks you to collect a bunch of crystals for points, most of which can be picked up off the ground or achieved by beating the same people over and over again. I finished this part of the game in a couple hours. Then there is the Hero's History mode, where you are supposed to fight all of the great battles up until Sasuke disappears. They actually skipped over a lot until the chase with Shikamaru's team. Even then, it's not all that difficult. I was expecting to be slaughtered by Haku alone, and I just kept kicking him until he died!
