NARUTO SHIPPUDEN: Naruto vs. Sasuke Review

The playable character list is impressive too. Aside from being able to use every member of team Kakashi, you can unlock fan favorites like Rock Lee, Shikamaru, and even Hinata. Prior to each mission you have the option of selecting which three playable characters you want on your team. In addition to that, certain allies are able to act as a support character who you can call on to heal you or buff your toons. The playable characters can be swapped in and out on the fly, which you will need to do when one gets low on health.
