This is without a doubt, the best game in the series. Namco does an excellent job of keeping all the things people liked the same, and finding new content to increase the value. All the old characters are back, and some new ones too. You'll have no trouble remember the old moves if you've played the predecesors, and the new characters fit nicely into the story (if there ever really was one). I found this game to be a bit easier than the others on the hardest difficulty level, but you still need to know what you're doing to beat the hardest missions and single player matches. The new story mode seems a little pointless at first, but I quickly found it very addictive in order to unlock all the secret items and weapons. The story mode takes a long time to beat, with 20 unique chapters and plenty of Ogre Battle-style strategy. The strategy is pretty weak, but it's challenging enough to be fun. The best improvement in this game is the character creation, which allows you to make a very unique and very impressive looking personalized character. The only problem I had with this is that when you get all the cool armor sets and weapons, there's really no reason to play any of the REAL characters. There were some balance issues with the new weapons and characters as well. Watch out for anyone using Kunai, they are unreal.
