However, seasoned gamers may find some minor complaints with regards to camera angles which occasionally become stuck or clip through backgrounds during particularly fast paced sequences.

Graphics & Sound: A Mixed Bag

--------------------------

Graphically speaking 'Naruto Shippuden Storm 4' is a mixed bag. While character models look fantastic and detailed - with plenty of attention paid towards accurately recreating their respective outfits from the anime series; environments on the other hand sometimes appear somewhat dated compared to more recent titles in this genre.

The sound design however makes up for these graphical imperfections thanks largely due its excellent voice cast who bring each character come alive through their performances. From grunts and groans during intense battle scenes all the way down to heartfelt emotional moments - every single line of dialogue feels genuine and authentic.
