Many of us, myself included, loved Ultimate Ninja Storm 1, so imagine the excitement when I learned there is another one coming out! ^_^ Lets get right into it! There is basically three major elements to this game. Players will be able to select over 40 playable characters and it will be playable worldwide online. It's a battle game with action and adventure capabilities. In terms of the Narrative, it will begin at the beginning of the Shippudden arc. It's actually going to incorporate pieces that are not included in the Shippuden anime series yet. The game will be filled with a lot of drama. From the Shippuden series, it will introduce many different types of characters. Some of the characters will pass away during the gameplay, so it will get dramatic.

There will be three battle modes. They have drama filled adventure mode, online battle mode, and option settings for those who want to be discreet. So these are the four selectable modes offered but for the most part, most players will be spending a lot of time towards the action/adventure scenes.

There's a new mode incorporated into the battles. It's in relation towards the usage of support characters and this time around they are actually able to create combo-move units where the player actually works in sync with the support characters! So as the players use the support characters more and more, there is a certain gauge and once that gauge reaches a certain limit, you get a support mode where the player will automatically be helped by the support characters and that, in turn, connects to special combo moves with those support characters!

And if have any worries about being a first time player, fear not! You will be able to enjoy the game and all of the series that the developers have created. The game is built around the concept that its good for the casual and first time initial players as well!
