Beat it and unlocked all the characters a little while ago, the game has improved in just about every way over the first, the only things I somewhat miss but really isn't a big deal is in single player you no longer have the entire village to run around in open world style, but it really wouldn't fit with how much traveling is in Shippuden, the other thing I miss is custom ninjutsu meaning you only have one per character, on the other hand taking most of those away plus a few other cheap things has made the game SO BALANCED it's really good.
If anyone wants to know more just ask me but bottom line is the game is a must buy
