It features a new story mode, more manoeuvrability for characters, and a much larger variety of music. ''Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3'' also offers a different sort of story mode from ''Ultimate Ninja 2''. This is called the Hero's History. It replays every major fight from the beginning of the series (Naruto vs. Kakashi-the training), to the end of Part 1 (Naruto vs. Sasuke-the final battle). Although it skips a lot of dialogue and transition scenes (scenes such as the [[Chūnin Exams]] preliminaries and most of the cut-scenes that one grew accustomed to in UN 2) are completely gone. It's a good way to get 'quick action' in the game for those who get bored easily of the endless tirade of cut-scenes in UN 2, and it is a good way to get a lot of unlockable characters. Another interesting feature is called the Ultimate Path (Ultimate Contest in English version). This is an RPG style part of the game, which allows you to go on missions and unlock several characters, as well as learn different jutsu. Before you can do this, however, you have to enter into a tournament in which you need to defeat many characters in order to get their crystals. After this is done, you can roam freely and level up different characters which you have unlocked. == Playable Characters == Parenthesis indicate character's Awakening Mode or Summoning Mode. {{playable| Naruto Uzumaki~[[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms#Initial Jinchūriki Form|Nine-Tails Mode]]), also playable in a [[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms#One-Tailed Form|One-Tailed]] form, also playable with a [[Strong Fist|Taijutsu]] outfit known as Green Beast (Ultimate Mode Sasuke Uchiha~[[Cursed Seal of Heaven|Curse Mark Mode]] also playable in a [[Sharingan|Sharingan Mode]], and [[Cursed Seal of Heaven|Curse Mark Mode Stage 2]] Sakura Haruno~[[Inner Sakura|The Great Sakura Mode]] Kakashi Hatake~[[Sharingan|Sharingan Mode]]), also playable with an [[ANBU]] outfit (Ultimate Mode Hashirama Senju~Hokage Mode Tobirama Senju~Hokage Mode Hiruzen Sarutobi~[[Dead Demon Consuming Seal|Reaper Death Seal Mode]] Minato Namikaze~[[Flying Thunder God Technique|Yellow Flash Mode]] Tsunade~[[Creation Rebirth|Mitotic Regeneration Mode]], [[Katsuyu|Katsuyu Summoning]] Orochimaru~[[Manda|Manda Summoning]] Jiraiya~[[Gamabunta|Gamabunta Summoning]] Itachi Uchiha~[[Tsukuyomi|Tsukuyomi Mode]] Haku~[[Ice Release|Ice Blade Mode]] Zabuza Momochi~Demon Mode Kisame Hoshigaki~[[Samehada|Shark Skin Mode]] Konohamaru~Kiddy Mode Shizune~[[Medical Mode]] Kabuto Yakushi~[[Medical Mode|Super Recovery Mode]] Anko Mitarashi~Ultimate Mode), when battling Orochimaru ([[Cursed Seal of Heaven|Curse Mark Mode]] Shino Aburame~[[Parasitic Destruction Insect Technique|Beetle Mode]] Hinata Hyūga~[[Byakugan|Byakugan Mode]] Kiba Inuzuka~[[Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf|Double Headed Wolf Mode]] Kurenai Yūhi~Haze Mode Shikamaru Nara~Strategy Mode Ino Yamanaka~[[Ninja Art: Profusion of Flowers|Covered With Flowers Mode]] Chōji Akimichi~[[Calorie Control|Super Chōji Mode]], [[Multi-Size Technique|Expansion Mode]] Asuma Sarutobi~[[Flying Swallow|Fist Strike Mode]] Rock Lee~[[Drunken Fist|Loopy Fist Mode]], [[Eight Gates|Eight Gates Mode]] Tenten~[[Generic Sealing Technique|Ninja Tool Mode]] Neji Hyūga~[[Byakugan|Byakugan Mode]] Might Guy~[[Eight Gates|Eight Gates Mode]] Kankurō~[[Puppet Technique|Armoured Mode]] Gaara~[[Gaara's Jinchūriki Forms|Possession Mode]] Temari~[[Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance|Heavenly Dance Mode]] Kidōmaru~[[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode]]) and ([[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode Stage 2]] Sakon~[[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode]]) and ([[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode Stage 2]] Tayuya~[[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode]]) and ([[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode Stage 2]] Jirōbō~[[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode]]) and ([[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode Stage 2]] Kimimaro~[[Cursed Seal of Earth|Curse Mark Mode]]) and ([[Sound Four's Cursed Seals|Curse Mark Mode Stage 2]] Hanabi Hyūga~[[Byakugan|Byakugan Mode]] }} == Trivia == * There was an OVA special of this game's crystal competition mode used to help promote the game. * In a fight, if the player plays as Anko with Orochimaru as the opponent, she will go into Stage 1 of Cursed Seal of Heaven if using her Ultimate Jutsu, [[Twin Snakes Mutual Death Technique]], is successful. * Have a saved game from ''[[Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2]]'' on the player memory card to when starting a new game, a confirmation message will appear on the blank screen just before the loading screen and main menu appears, stating that the player have earned 607 [[Ninja Info Cards]] and 50,000 [[ryō]]. * Minato (labelled the Yellow Flash in the game) is the only character that does not have a voice in this game. == External Links == * [http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/ps2_naruto_hero3/ Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3 official website] {{icon|ja}} {{Games}} Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
