Naruto: The Broken Bond

I am very psyched up right now and I won’t right more than a little note. I’VE GOT NARUTO: THE BROKEN BOND! If it’s just half as good as it’s predecessor, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja, then it’s totally worth $80 dollars! Well then, now I’m going to play the game all through the night. I just wish I had a good camera so I could post some nice pics for you…

Can Naruto: The Broken Bond...

...stand up to its predecessor?

EDIT: (Don’t read if you don’t know what happens after the Chuunin exam in the story yet.) After having been to the bathroom, changing pants (after a soda spill accident, not any other kind of accident) and getting some more coke I finally got to insert the game disc and start playing. At the beginning of the game the story takes of right where the story of Rise of a Ninja ended and immediately you enter a fight between the Third Hokage and Orochimaru (with his two summoned companions, the First and Second hokage) where you get to learn the basics of the game controls, followed by a sad sequence where you have to find Sakura and Sasuke (I was looking for Sasuke when I decided to share my thoughts before continuing – I just had to!) to the Sorrow and Sadness soundtrack that, accompanied with the Third’s death, always makes me cry. Waah, poor Sarutobi!
