Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 - Story mode, difficulty 2 (normal). Good game. I'd played the third and fourth games before (both were only released in Japan, but I knew some people at college who imported them); they're among the better licensed fighting games I've played. Very well designed series. We only got the first two here, but the second at least is pretty good... the first is just 1v1 only, which wouldn't be as good, but the second one at least does have four player. The game's kind of short, but it's a fighting game, so you expect that. Story mode does have 20 fights plus some unlockable bonus ones, and there's also a normal tournament mode, survival mode, and some other stuff. The bits of story between matches in story mode don't tell you most of what happens, so it does rely on some knowledge of the anime, but eh, it works well enough and more story wouldn't be better -- the gameplay's what's best about this anyway, not the story.
