I was so horribly dissapointed in this game I could not believe it. I have the full collection of Naruto games and could not believe how badly they dropped the ball on this.
There is no free roam, each mission is separated into little “islands” that you can teleport through. Fight scenes are incredibly silly, very repetitive. The way the missions are organised is ridiculous.
I got to shukakku and found not one of my characters did a single bit of damage for over 40 minutes of attacking and this was due to me not repeating previous missions 50 million times to get to a high enough level.
Save yourself the sorrow and $ this is nothing like the previous naruto games on psp that were great. TOTALL DISSAPOINTED!
