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.
