Features
The game features a unique battle system with special attacks and various jutsu that can be equipped. It also features tons of items, like kunai, shuriken, pinwheels, and explosive tags. There are many multi-layered stages from around the Naruto world, including the Hidden Mist Village, the Hidden Sand Village, the Chunin exam arena, and the Forest of Death. There are a total of 32 characters to choose from (33 in the Japanese version). The game also features an RPG-esque story mode, the first half of which was taken directly from the series, and the second half was made up for the game.
