Gameplay: The Gameplay looks way better this year (in my point of view). You can now defeat Thousands of enemies within just one mission. The game runs smoothly though sometimes when you use the Ultimate Ninjutsu, the FPS drops a tiny bit and it only takes 1-2 seconds before it runs normal again. Animation looks so smooth and fluid especially for a PSP Game. There is also 8 QTE (Quick Time Events), it's pretty much like a clash of jutsus or a scene to finish of your enemy. One last thing is that the game also features Dash Clash, how do you activate it? Well, if you use Jumping Dash and so does your enemy at the same, it'll give you a number of Buttons to press and who ever finish all the given Buttons first, In result of who ever lost will get stunned. I give the gamepplay 10/10
Sound: Sounds are basically reused from older games like Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3/ Storm 2. A couple of musics are added in the game. I find some voice quality low in some Ultimate Ninjutsu and sometimes even out of sync. Character's voices are very repetitive in Story Mode which I really find annoying. I give the sound 7/10
Game Modes: Many people wanted VS Mode to be in this game but sadly the game makers didn't add one probably because it would just be a waste since it's only 1 vs 1 and chances are that the Player will always win and just wouldn't be that much fun. Though there is no VS Mode BUT there are Extra Missions and Tag Missions. Tag Mission is basically you and the CPU will fight enemies depending on the Mission. Meanwhile Extra Mission is kind of like a VS Mode BUT it's not 1 vs 1 but it's a CPU then CPU then CPU etc.. after you have defeated the enemy. Extra Mission + Tag Mission = VS Mode? If you don't think so, then this might not be you're Naruto Shippuden Game. I give the game modes 8/10
and finally the..
Character Roster: There are 26 "playable" Characters in the game, The other Characters in Story Mode are NPC (Non-Playable Character/s). Here is the list of the full Character Roster.
Naruto Uzumaki
Sakura Hazuno
Kakashi Hatake
Might Guy
Rock Lee
Shikamaru Nara
Hinata Hyuga
Jiraiya
Minato Namikaze
Danzo Shimura
Gaara
Ay (Raikage)
Killer Bee
Madara Uchiha (as Tobi in one of Sasuke Story Mode)
Pain (Tendo)
Konan
Kisame Hoshigaki
Itachi Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha ("Hebi")
Sasuke Uchiha (Black Costume/Sasuke vs Itachi Final Battle)
Sasuke Uchiha ("Taka")
Naruto Uzumaki (Sage Mode)
It's a large variety of Roster though some people want more. The reason why it's not as many if compared to Other Naruto Shippuden Games is because they want to focus more on the Story Line removing other Characters who aren't really important or not being noticed as much. Awakenings and Ultimate Ninjutsus can also be changed, but need specific cards in order to take effect, cards like that cannot be "Sealed Release" (Once the seal is release, every character available can equip it.). I give the character roster 9/10
and the final mark is 43/50 (83%/100%)
It's a MUST GET GAME for me. So go ahead and go buy one now
