Good game.
Now there are real cutscenes in the game, but there are still some stiff images from the first Revolution game.
The core gameplay remains the same, but with some new tweaks. First, you can preform handsigns to increase chakra and defense and offense. Even though it's taken from Naruto Shippuuden: Clash of Ninja EX 2 (or something like that), it's a welcome addition to the game.
If you choose to play VS. modes or score attack (single player, except for score attack 2p), you can choose squad mode. Here, you pick two characters, and fight against two characters. If you and your partner's chakra is full, and you have the right combination of characters (such as, Asuma and Kureni, Itachi and Kisame, Kakashi and Sasuke, etc), you'll perform a specific jutsu. If you don't, you'll use a generic jutsu.
There is also Mission Mode, where you take one of the 35 characters and preform missions. The missions are the same for each character (except for who you fight).
It's pretty bad the missions are generic.
One problem is that there is no online play. The develpoers said that they wanted to rebalance the characters instead. Why? They at least should of delayed it about a month later for online play.
Another problem is that unlocking characters is annyoing. In Revolution 1, you unlocked characters in score attack with specific characters. Now, you have to preform different critera in missions, such as getting a certain mission completion percentage, or getting a combined mission completion percentage with different characters. It does not tell you how much percentage you need to unlock a character, or HOW to unlock a character, so you'll probably be online finding out how to unlock them.
The graphics are the same. the added a exclusive FMV for the new story, but you probably won't watch it and get right to the fighting.
The AI is good, but in the final battles of story mode, it will be hard. You can choose between 4 different difficulty settings (the 4th setting you need to unlock).
Overall, the game is good.
