Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 has been a long-awaited title for many fans. This international version for PlayStation 4, model number 2724319114941, promises the most expansive Naruto experience yet. Having spent considerable time battling it out across the game’s diverse roster and environments, I’m ready to share my insights into what this game truly offers.

The sheer scale of Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 is immediately apparent. The roster of playable characters is massive, spanning the entire Shippuden arc and including fan-favorite villains like Kaguya, Madara (Six Paths), and Obito (Six Paths). The ability to switch characters mid-fight adds a strategic layer to combat, requiring quick thinking and adaptability. The wall-running mechanic adds a thrilling new dimension to battles, allowing for dynamic and acrobatic maneuvers. Creating your own team and experimenting with different combinations keeps the gameplay fresh and exciting. The game also features beautifully rendered cutscenes that faithfully capture the anime’s vibrant style.

Beyond the core fighting mechanics, the sheer amount of content is impressive. There’s a significant amount to unlock and explore, ensuring that this game provides many hours of entertainment.

The game runs smoothly on the PS4, with minimal frame rate drops even during the most intense battles with multiple characters on screen. The visuals are stunning, particularly the character models which are incredibly detailed and well-animated. The sound design is also excellent, with the signature Naruto soundtracks perfectly complementing the fast-paced action. Loading times are generally quick, which minimizes interruptions to gameplay.

However, the game’s controls can feel a little clunky at times, particularly when attempting complex combos. This might be a minor issue for veteran fighting game players, but newcomers may find it challenging to master. The camera angles could also use some improvement, as they sometimes obstruct the view during fights, making it difficult to follow the action.

Pros:

• Massive roster of characters
• Stunning visuals and animations
• Fast-paced and exciting combat
• Extensive single-player content
• Character switching mechanic adds strategic depth

Cons:

• Controls can feel slightly clunky at times
• Camera angles can sometimes be obstructive
• Some might find the learning curve steep

Overall, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 (Intl Version) – PS4 (2724319114941) is an excellent addition to any Naruto fan’s collection. While the learning curve and occasional camera issues might deter some players, the sheer scale of the game, its impressive visuals, and exciting combat more than compensate for these minor drawbacks. I would highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys action-packed fighting games with rich storytelling and a massive amount of content.
