    Filler story good, but gameplay bad. Story short, so developers think "Hmm, then we just raise a difficulty for game".

    I don`t want saying that game should be easy, but difficulty in this game SO contradict with all Naruto-game franchise! Naruto and another people in your group without scrolls sooooo weak, it`s just insult for them!

    Literally, the darksouls of naruto games im not even kidding, the game is ridiculousely hard, but you can tone it down a little bit by using scrolls witch the game never introduced so ive been stuck in chapter 5 untill i found out about it, bossfights are fine and some of them are reskins, the colosal bosses will make you k1ll yourself and i hate the hype building of the 3 heads making itLiterally, the darksouls of naruto games im not even kidding, the game is ridiculousely hard, but you can tone it down a little bit by using scrolls witch the game never introduced so ive been stuck in chapter 5 untill i found out about it, bossfights are fine and some of them are reskins, the colosal bosses will make you k1ll yourself and i hate the hype building of the 3 heads making it this insane creature that can effortlessly destroy a village it was a very disappointing boss, the free missions are just copy pastes and the more mission rank is high the more im sure they didnt play test this game (like imagine fighting 4 bosses 1 by 1, every boss has abilties "poision, confusion, chakra sealing, etc..." limited time, and the dificulty is on crackhead mode, and if you die or a teammate die game over). But still, i love the characters moves especially sasuke, itachi, kakashi, and shikamaru. And the multiplayer makes the game better than it deserves, the story is good but short even though i dont understand why they didnt make an army of false tailed beasts and attack the leaf village instead of awakening a beast that was overpowered by 4 ninjas even after his fusion with the antagonist who i forgot his name..., i sometimes boot up this game for nostalgia and because im very good at it, but if you wanna try it out do it out of your own risk Expand

    Hardcore Naruto fanatics will buy this, but I would advise casual fans to save their money for something else. Even with multiplayer, Kizuna Drive just didn't deliver.

    Naruto Shippuden: Kizuna Drive suffers from a very repetitive gameplay. In every mission you have to fight a certain number of enemies, then go to another zone and repeat again, doing always the same combos. There's an interesting cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players, but it's only local.

    It's definitely worth a shot if your Naruto fan, and even if your not it's a satisfactory brawler.
