A great fighting game, but has not much differences with its predecesor
Graphics:
They have not been modified a lot from other versions. You will find some optimizations, and new movements, but no important changes here.
Sound:
The voices are the same as the series, but the music is a bit different, like the other GNT games. They are similar to the original soundtrack, but not the same.
Hits, punches, and all combat related sounds are correct and you will feel like if you were fighting in the series. Very good
Gameplay:
The gameplay hasnt changed, but some things have been added.
Now, there isnt a sharingan sasuke, sharingan kakashi or kyubi naruto to unlock. Just press back+X to switch between this two forms of the character.
The new team mode is a great addition. You can change between team members when you want and you can make a 3 character special if you have the correct team.
And the missions mode, is a great addition too, but if you dont know japanese, you might get a guide if you really want to unlock extra stuff
But, if you have played the other gnt games, you might feel a deja vu sensation, cuz most of the combos and movements of the old characters have not changed at all
The AI acts consecuently to the game difficult you have selected (1 the easiest, 4 [that must be unlocked] is the hardest).
Multiplayer:
You cant have this game without playing the multiplayer mode! In my opinion, the best multiplayer game to date for GC. If all the players are Naruto fans, this game can be the most played in your GC catalogue!!!
You can play 1vs1 mode, with the new team mode, 1vs1vs1vs1, 2vs1, 1vs1vs1, 3vs1. You can play with only human, or you can fill absent friends (heeheheh) with AI players.
If you are not used to gnt 4-players gameplay, you will feel extremely confused, but with time and experience, you will be used and greatly enjoy the experience.
Thats all.
For me, one of the 'must have' games for the GC
