Part I was much more realistic. There was a lot more emotion and feel to it, and the fight could have gone either way. You really didn't expect Sasuke to win, and much less choose not to kill Naruto.

In Part II it was pretty much "Oh. Naruto and Sasuke are gonna fight again. I wonder if SASUKE might win in the final battle of NARUTO." The two were so OP'd it basically turned into a competition over who was more likely to be a Super Saiyan...when they weren't having flashbacks and friendship bubbles.

The only big shocker of Part II was them blowing each other's arms off...and even that was downplayed by Sasuke pretending everything after Itachi's death never happened.
