Definitely gets better. Should I play the previous Naruto game? How long are these games?
I've heard it's like 10-12 hours.
The previous Naruto 360 game is also really good, but Broken Bond is pretty much a really solid refinement, so you might be kinda bummed by the steps backwards. It's still good and all, but, like, the animation is a bit rougher in spots, there's only one on one battles, and most of the game is centered around leaf village, so there's less wandering in different environments. Being that you can probably find this game for like less than 20 bucks, if you end up liking Broken Bond enough, you can live with the "downgrades."
I will say this: I was impressed with all of the improvements in Broken Bond. I figured Ubi would shit out what was basically an expansion or mission pack since they hit on a solid formula in the first game, but they really did a good job on the sequel. Oh, the first game is under 10 hours. Probably closer to 6-7. It is short.
