With this great game, you can unleash your ninja wrath on your friends or the computer with all new characters and in all new stages! It's quite a great change from the first game! You should really go and pick it up if you're a fan, and at least try it out if you don't know about the Naruto series.

The graphics are really nice and they fit quite well because of the anime series. The voiceovers are nicely done too, and you'll even be able to recognize Naruto's Believe it in the game! Do not forget that the game contains a lot of hidden features that will unlock over time, like videos, sound clips, audio clips, characters, and much much more!

The sound fits with the stages and the mood in harmony, the characters all have their move and specials, which means each one of them can be tricky in certain situation. The basics are simple and you get to grasp the controls quite quickly. Around half an hour is what you need to get the hang of it.

The game overall is great, everything in it falls perfectly into place, you'll like the game even more if you're a fan, but still, everyone should enjoy it! ^^

The second Ultimate Ninja title from Bandai is a fighting game based on the Naruto anime series. Ultimate Ninja utilizes some story elements from the series concerning the Chunin exam up to the events involving Tsunade. It's too bad that Namdai didn't include a feature for dual voice tracks as this game is stuck with the North American dub from the TV series. The dub work isn't bad, but it will irk some fans that prefer the Japanese voice work. Music in Ultimate Ninja 2 has improved upon the last game, but it lacks the tracks from the TV series, but it still does a fine job of carrying the ninja action. The game includes a good variety of super moves and jutsus are available at the player's disposal. Most characters will have his or her signature moves in the form of leveled super attacks. When using the super attacks, the player needs to tap buttons in order to dish out maximum damage. It's also possible to reduce damage when the player is on the receiving end of the attacks in a bid of power struggle which adds a bit competitive edge to using them. These attacks are just as crazy and flashy as the ones in the anime. The number of playable characters has been increased since the last Ultimate Ninja game to over 30 characters to choose from, a number of which requires the player to unlock through progressive playthroughs. A few characters are just alternates with a slight change and the increased selection of playable characters does provide some new balancing issues over the previous game where certain characters will dominate fights. The cel-shaded graphics looks a bit rough around the edge, but they capture the likeness of the characters from the anime and the animations are well done. During the story mode's progression, the player will be able move around village while taking on various adventures, missions and mini-games. By overcoming these challenges, some of which have limitations or restrictions on the style of the fight, they will reward ninjas with points to improve the characters' abilities and also earns money. The village also includes a market where the player unlock collectible bonuses from the store. There's quite a number of stuff to purchase and it provides a nice incentive to replay through some of those mini-games in order to improve customized characters. Like most fighting games, there's the practice and versus modes, but the game lacks any sort of online features which really would've added to the game's value. Ultimate Ninja 2 continues to improve the series, but it still lacks the depth and balance of other more serious fighting games. The title remains true to the anime's style and there's a lot to enjoy for fans of Naruto. Even for more casual players, the over-the-top ninjas can provide a fun experience without the need for extensive Naruto knowledge.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2....Still Ultimate? Believe it!!!!...........

It's cool when developers try to improve upon a good formula for a game. Oftentimes, developers go by the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' motto and rely on spicing up the graphics & maybe a new story to sell the same ol' same ol'. To the casual players of the first game, that might seem what Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 is all about. Yet, to us Naruto fans who've lived & breathed Ultimate Ninja for the last year, we see a whole slew of improvement over the original. Not only are the graphics and overall presentation of the game even better the second time around, there's more than 30 characters to choose from as well as new items to use against your opponents(such as poison, bombs & more)-new stages-Ultimate Road, which takes the place of the scenario mode from the first game and follows the Chunin Exam storyline-character customization-cool mini-games that fit the Naruto universe well(such as treeclimbing, handstand races)-alternate outfits-new voiceover work and animation-lots of unlockable goodies-trailers of Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 & Naruto:Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow(both coming this fall)-and more challenge this time around(to which I say "Practice, practice, practice!"). In my honest opinion, it's twice as fun as the original which goes to prove that there's still games to get excited about in what's left of the PS2's lifecycle.

Thanks to this game, I'm all psyched up for the next Naruto game to come out...Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes(also developed by CyberConnect2) for the Playstation Portable. Ninja Art Portable Gaming Goodness for the palm of my hand, believe it! Look for my review on that game next month.

Great Game Pick it up NOW

First of all i want to say this game rules. Even if you havent picked up the first one, which of course you should prior to playing this one.
There is not much bad to say about it. It takes everything great about the first game and improves upon it 10 fold. I especially like how great the combos look and the ease of use for each of them. I realize this can also be a huge turn off for some users who are fight-game enthusiasts but for those of with full time jobs or full time school the ability to pick this up and start kicking tail is great, and also to look cool while doing it. THe first time you pull off a level 3 secret move will be a thing of beauty. This may be the last dying breath of the ps2 so make sure you pick it up even if you have a ps3 to quench your thirst for the next naruto game. Hopefully the next gen A Naruto game of our dreams will be coming soon. Untill then pick up this gem and try to unlock all the fun stuff hidden in here and fight to your heart's content. Just keep in mind you still cant defeat me "Believe it!". Just kidding.

well im sorry i cant write a full review i do not have the time or patience to do that but.........

i have not betten the game i am stuck on a mission that is next to impossible.

this game is awsome beyond all reasons but there are a few next to impossible parts of the story line missions: for example on to what i know two levels you have to fight kabuto w/ his life constantly regenerating and im stuck on the 2nd one of who knows how many. but really other then that i think it is a good game real challengeing !

i also like how you can customize your charecters (and no i do know how to spell i just dont want to lol) and choose your support charecter etc.. and you can also put the jutsu for example that origanally kakashi knows and put them on sasukes justsu moves.

well i gotta run but this game is awsome beyond all reason it rocks!!!!!!!

Hinata fan says, try it it's FUN!!!

Great fighting game, it plays just like Super Smash Brothers with Naruto characters. Which is pretty awesome. If you like fighting games like Super Smash Brothers and Naruto the anime, then this game is for you.

This game is real fun i like this better then part3, part3 is alright but this is more fun and more better. I don't really like part3 because 1. it gotten boring, 2. there's nothing new with the attacks, 3. you can only use speacial jutsu once, 4. the new characters are not that great, 5. playing as the big toad and snake and sand monster is real boring nothing really great about that, 6. you can't play as the real cursed sasuka like in this one you can, but this game is better this and clash of nnga2 are the best naruto games ive played out of all of them, but this is a fun game.

great game

this game is great. i realy like how many characters are in the game. and naruto looks cool in the rock lee suit. it's a great game and was worth the wait. it had lots of other unlockables and had some character customizing, but i haven't realy done it that much. it's good to have a save file of the other naruto ultimate ninja on you memory card to get some extra unlockable and other stuff like money , ninja info cards. the website for this game has some passwords you can use for unlocking more stuff in naruto ultimate ninja two.
