hey guys.. Ive played the jap versions of this game and the one that follows whice are Naruto Shippuuden Narutimate Accel 1 & 2 .... in this one you only get a few of the shippuuden characters like older Naruto,Tenten,Sakura,Lee,Neji,Shikamaru,Tamari, Kankuro, and some new characters like Sasori,Dedire,and Chiyo basa sama XD... unfortunately... your gunna have to wait for the next installment for Hinata,Kiba, Choji, Ino, Shino, Sai, Yamato,Sauske, Sarori's true form, and well.. I think there is one other but I can't remember and Im too lazy to turn on my ps2... but anyways.. Ultimate hero 4 (Shippuuden Accel 1) is still gunna be pretty good... also.. I forgot if you had him in naruto hero 3 but in this one you get to play as the 1st 2nd and 4th! hokage... and yes... 4th is a cheap character.. but after a while of mastering the characters his moves are easily dodgeable... practice.. human players are like below easy for me XD ... oh.. in the next game you get to have a team mate .. still controled by you ..but it you chose the proper team mates you get the special team special .. look of the gameplay videos... Naruto Shippuuden Narutimate Accel and Naruto Shippuuden Narutimate Accel2 ... great games indeed.. Im still waiting for the next release from japan.. for all those you get Ultimate ninja 4 ... have fun and keep practicing.. oh.. and careful for young sauske chydori spam.. its annoying.. all you have to do is know when to block to avoid it.. well enjoy the game and JFalc out!!
