Experimenting with picking different story paths does open up unique cutscenes and fights not previously seen on the cartoon, though, so the confusion is worth enduring. They're presented as a choice between the "Legend" path or the "Hero" path, but aren't both of those good things? I suppose being a "Legend" is more epic than just being a plain old "Hero," but it's odd phrasing – and it's made even more perplexing because you earn either Legend Points or Hero Points for picking one over the other, and the distinction between those is never adequately explained. At some points during the story, UNS3 offers some confusing decisions about which of two paths you want to follow. The most elite players will have to seek out high-level opponents online, because the AI won't keep up with you. UNS3's difficulty settings seem muted, as few fights will offer a true challenge to anyone who's bested any of the earlier games.
Some mechanics introduced in earlier installments have been tweaked, too, like the fact that you can now enter your character's "Awakened" state without waiting until their health bar has been depleted to the edge of death. Ultimate Ninja Storm 3's feels as if the controls have gotten tighter and more responsive, which was appreciated as I ran, dodged, and teleported my way around each 3D battleground trying to gain a positional advantage over my opponent.
It could've gone wrong and been distracting, but since each instance is interwoven with the storyline and serves a plot-advancing purpose, I never felt like I was bounced around for no reason.For the most part, this is the same Ninja Storm combat as before – just a bit faster. It's a brilliant break from tradition that constantly keeps your attention focused and your energy up. You can be halfway through a major clash, then the focus will shift to another battlefield or point in time and have you fight a second, simultaneous fight before circling you back around to your starting point. UNS3 bounces around like this dynamically.
When you’ve finally managed to take down the Demon Fox, there’s no chance to catch your breath – because you’re then flung right back to Naruto's dad, still in the middle of his own fight.
