I think the whole tournament was a pretty cool idea, but the game feels rushed. I had heard rumors that this was the last Storm game, and honestly I wouldn't have bought it if I knew Storm 4 was going to come out. I miss the QTE events from the previous games, but the new character type system actually makes the game challenging. Characters like Deidara, Minato and Hinata aren't guaranteed spam wins in Online Mode anymore.

I feel cheated because I actually paid for Full Burst and a lot of the costumes in Storm 3, and here they're just given out for free. Also, why include all of the Part 1 characters when there's no story mode?

It also sucks that even still, the majority of the characters haven't had updated movesets since their first appearance. Reanimated Hashirama and Minato are completely different characters, but someone like Tobirama, who had a slew of new abilities revealed, still has the same moveset. Shisui was said to be the strongest Uchiha of his time, which I won't argue about. But saying he can use a complete Susanoo with only one eye? That's an asspull. Madara barely even used his gunbai after it was given back to him; why is that a separate character? Just update his Storm 3 moveset.

But by far, this Mecha-Naruto bullshit was the biggest letdown of the entire series. It made no sense at all, it was corny writing at its finest, and it was just a marketing ploy to get people to by the game. The tie-in episodes were easily the worst ones I've ever watched. To be completely honest: I was hooked on buying Storm 3 just for the Goku costume. But here, it was more for the characters. But it looks like we'll actually be getting some relevant DLC for this game...I have a feeling Jinchuriki Obito might become a playable character in the future.
