Here are the pro's & cons of S3 so you can decide for yourself if it is a good game or not compared to the previous Storm games that have been released.
pro's:
+ Fantastic cinematic sequences to retell the events of the Five Kage Summit and 4th Great Ninja War.
+ Tournament mode improved with exciting battle conditions (example)
+ Multiple costumes for a good majority of the roster
+ New jutsus in the form of awakening actions for the majority of roster (example)
+ 40 stages, the biggest in the Storm series (example)
+ Playable Characters: Madara Uchiha, Nagato, Rinnegan Tobi, Seven Jinchuriki
+ Instant awakening is extremely, extremely gratifying
+ New ring outs feature are a nice addition! Gives variety to stages as some have it and some don’t.
+ Original English and Japanese voices from the anime series (example)
+ Impressive soundtrack with new tunes mixed in with old Storm favorites (example)
+ Phenomenal graphics! The Storm series has blurred the line between anime and game forever! (example)
+ Online mode is back and better than ever for unlimited replay value. (example)
+ Diverse gameplay to keep the experience fresh from start to finish. Free battles, exploration, hack and slash, and quick time events (watch walkthrough)
cons:
- Lack of Swordsmen, Kinkaku/Ginkaku, 4 Edo Kage as playable characters
- Story mode ending is different from events in manga, which is still in progress.
- Ultimate Jutsu finish with secret factor: They’re phenomenal at first, but get repetitive and give rage quitters a few extra seconds to quit online matches.
