Here is the entire stats and things in the tip crammed into this page. Read and enjoy. Feel free to comment.
The games story mode goes from naruto just becoming a genin, to naruto leaving the village with jiraiya. The missions do completely skip over the zabuza saga completely, and it goes straight to the chuunin exams. There are short movies between every mission. So they aren't very uncommon like every online source says. However they are not nearly as long as the ones that are close to the boss battles. Which there are only 3 of. Which you have all seen. The story does leave out a lot. and changes the story to make the game easier to make. They change the location of events to the stages that are already made to keep the game inexpensive. like the sasuke and itachi section is in a forest instead of a hotel hallway. Even the movies. but most of the locations already fit. In story mode, all the sound 4 are already support characters and fight against you with kimmimaro. in the sasuke retrieval arc. first kimmimaro with kidomaru and jirobou vs. neji with chouji as support. then the shikamaru with kiba and naruto vs. tayuuya, sakon, and kimmimaro, and kimmimaro is running away with sasuke, and naruto's chasing him. That whole story section has been changed.its not too bad, but its enough to annoy you if your a fan. so story mode is a little dissapointing, but nothing big.

i don't completely agree with this list. but thats what they put.
Also all the dlc support characters are already in this game. Idk why we can't just unlock them then if they are all ready.
they didn't mention anything about stages, which i found a bit peculiar. but i guess there will be surprises in this game, because they left out a lot of things you would want to see in the tipbook.
this is really terrible just terrible. why can't chouji have his expansion as his awkening? and why can't gara have his half shukaku mode? everybody else is fine except thse 2 charcters. brutal sand mode?? common thats pathetic i'm really starting to have second thoughts about this game. cyberconnect could have done better. naruto accel has more chacters and better awaknings then this game and its oon ps2. this is really dissipointing i really thought this game would be wasome. but i will still enjoy it but it will get boring in about 2 or 3 months since the storymode is really short.
anyone think we should make a thread sugesting to buy one of the japanese ps2 games instead of storm?
im considering it because of a few reasons they are PS2" japanese ones like narutimate accel have more characters,more transformations,morejutsus, AMAZING videos to accompany ougis,great storymodes,also feeatures multiplayer,graphics arent that good but the game is so fn u just dont care oh and its cheaper
um, no. i'll just get both. I do like storms gameplay better, even if it doesn't have all the features of other games. and thats only because this game was made from scratch unlike the Ultimate ninja games which used the models of characters before them.
