Doesn't quite live up to what it could have been, and its a major flashback of its prequel, but it has its good moments.
Simple (but a little bland) combos will keep you entertained and there are those 'huge comeback' moments where one dodge or counter will turn the tide of battle. The 4 player mode is very fun but very sloppy, and you can tell the arenas weren't designed to hold four people at once. I felt like I had to give this game a chance, so I spent a long time earning as much as I could to purchase everything. I concluded that the final characters you get are somewhat worth the hours and hours of gameplay you shoot out, and the extra game modes somewhat make up for the rest of the short and simplistic game. So if you've been dying to knock Sasuke down a peg or two, or heroically defeat the villains from the game, that is basically all this game will bring, give or take a few special moves and fighting modes.
