I barely dug into it, I only played a few fights in story mode over the weekend. Unlike the other Gekitou Ninja Taisen games there isn’t a tutorial battle. The first fight is between Gaara and Deidara. Yes, there is a small amount of overlapping, but before you know it you’re pummeling characters in the current Shippuden arc. Unlike EX1, Naruto Shippunden: Gekitou Ninja Taisen EX2 has plenty of four player battles in the story mode. They flow smoothly too because Eighting used the shadow fix, which was introduced in Naruto: Clash of Ninja Revolution.
In case you were wondering what characters you can play with right away that’s the initial list after loading clear data from EX1. More impressions coming after story mode and some character unlocks.
