A must have fighting game !
Story : The story of the game goes from episode 1 to the Invasion of Pain Arc .
The game does a great job of mixing up some side-missions (events,requests) with the main story . After you are done with the main story mode you can still go around and have fun . The story mode is long and it should keep you playing 10-15+ h .
Boss-Battles : The boss battles are amazing . Some have even 4 stages : normal combat , button mash cutscene-combat , another fighting stage (but harder and special *ex : Kakuzu ) and then button mash cutscene-combat . If you do well on the button mash stage you get Secret Factor (This shows you some flashbacks or some thoughts of the character) .
Graphics : Graphics are spectacular ( i would say even better then the actual anime ) . The night/evening arenas really set the mood up for a good fight .
Arenas and characters : 23 stages and 42 characters . Sage Mode Naruto and normal Naruto have separated slots , so do Sasuke and Akatsuki Sasuke . Sage Naruto has additional Hokage costume . Killer Bee , Tobi , Minato and Lars from Tekken are also in this game .
Soundtrack : The music in the village is really annoying but you can change that by listening to your own music . The music in the boss battles is nice and does a great job of setting the mood.
Conclusion : 9.5 .
