anyone who is a fan of naruto will know that this is a great game , because it packs all what he wants , the storyline, plenty of characters, multi-player, and great visuals, but the 2D adventure is what making the game boring and slow,it's a bit stupid , having unresponsive controls with some repeated goals,and there is the master road mode,here, players will find some extra stuff for them, like tactics which can be used before battles, and character sets for each character in the game, and all those can be bought with an in-game currency called NP (Ninja Points) which when you reach special amounts of it they give you a wallpaper in the tree of mettle option and sometimes the tree there grows but it doesn't have any use, something that might make some players mad that there is no longer two jutses for each character during battle (used by UP,UP,O and DOWN,DOWN,O), because you must choose only one ninjutse before each battle, and some extra ninjutses can be bought with Ninja Points during the master road, the huge extra feature in this game is the four-players battle, although it's sometimes enjoyable but other times all you can see on screen is super powers and explosions which sometimes makes you miss your character, this new feature also packs what's called Link Ninjutse, if two chosen characters (special characters) are next to each other a red line will appear between them, this tells you that you can you use the link ninjutse which is a pretty good feature because this link ninjutses are superb and better than normal ones. Bottom line is, this is a great naruto game, it could have been the best on PSP and PS2 if they just focused a bit more on the 2D adventure and on putting some more worth getting extras and adding the two ninjutses during battle although this is covered by stunning visual and tons of ninjutses, it could have been better.
