while game play has not changed a great deal from the previous title's it has added the ability to chakra dash while in mid combo and the addition of a substitution bar, which basically prevents players mindlessly slamming the block button.
The story in this naruto game is maybe the weakest as it does not flesh out aspects of the story that a non naruto watcher would most likely be interested in making the games campaign rather lacklustre. Overall a solid fighter if nothing out of the ordinary and a highly recommended purchase for naruto enthusiasts.
