The Single Player campaign is the main draw for the game; getting to compete in some of the bigger set piece battles is the steak for this meal. You get to start off with the battle against Kyuubi in Konoha in all its apocalyptic city destruction glory. By showing the destruction of Konoha and showing the necessary co-operation of every ninja you really appreciate the talents required to bring down this force of nature. After such an impressive battle, each following one tries in vain to live up to this high point. That's not to say the rest of the game is a write-off, it just highlights how impressive the first big one is.
