The game plays as a traditional quest-based action adventure title. You control Naruto and begin your journey inside the fully realized and modeled city of Konoha. There you interact with many of the shows characters who give Naruto quests to complete, upon which his skills and powers increase.
Along with exploring the city and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Naruto can engage in one on one fights just like in the anime. Fighting takes roots from more traditional fighting games with different attacks and combos. Players can also use ninjitsu techniques, creating the handseals using the two analog sticks. Handseals can also be used during the normal adventure gameplay to activate certain abilities such as walking up walls.
