As a final swansong to the PSP, it really does fulfil it’s job.
Overall this is a great game, particularly for fans of the original series and I recommend it if you are a hardcore fan. The fact that the story is entirely voiced is a great benefit as it enables you to truly experience Naruto Shippuden properly. The boss battles and Quick-Time-Events are very entertaining and keep you on the edge of your seat. The boss fights can sometimes get very interesting, such as when you have to defeat a form of Kakuzu that keeps changing and adopting a different strategy.
There are challenges and co-operative missions for when you’d like to team up with a friend or cpu. There are also extra side missions you can play which give you an interesting twist on the familiar story. Some of these are upgradable and some are rarer than others. The ninja cards allow you to construct decks which make your character stronger. There is a lot to see and do as you can level up your characters and purchase new ninja cards. Even little moments like hearing Hidan arguing with Kakuzu make this game stand out from the crowd of other Naruto games. It captures the spirit of the show very well. The music fits the theme of the show and nothing seems out of place. The sound effects are good and the characters are portrayed well.
The voice acting is great in the story mode segment and you can swap between the English Dub and Japanese voices at any time. The game covers the entire Shippuden storyline which is great if you want to relive classic moments of the series.
The missions are quite exciting and keep you on the edge of your seat with the dialogue. Most are designed to target several people at once. Each character has a variety of special abilities called Jutsus.
