Story & Setting

Naruto starts out running ordinary missions for Konoha, deliveries, reconnaissance, and prisoner transport, before the game's original plot escalates into a scheme to destroy the village that he and his allies must stop. None of this storyline comes from the manga or anime; it was written specifically for the game.

Gameplay

The game plays as a third person action title with beat 'em up style combat, sending Naruto through mission based levels rather than the arena duels of the Ultimate Ninja series.
