It's a good step for naruto games, but still is kind of bland, and it needs some work.

It's a good game, my main problems with it are the so few characters. You are very limited between 6 characters and that is ok but they have guest characters with you for a while and you never actually get to use them. You are limited to the genin and only a select few. They just need to add some higher ranked, powerful allies like guy or kakashi, just some more characters then the 6 that have sometimes absolutely nothing to do with what's going on. But other then that, it's great. The story stays close to the show, the variety and number of techniques avaliable are good, and it has a nice fairly long time of play. If you're a naruto fan, i reccomend it, but if you buy it and expect some characters, don't be surprised if they're not there.
