A huge-sized actioner best enjoyed in co-op for double the carnage. [May 2008, p.77]
-
71Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 simply repeats a lot of the mistakes of its predecessor and proves that it wasn't just the escort missions holding Uzumaki Chronicles back: it was an overall flawed design.
-
Now, with sharpened graphics, more features, and an original story, Uzumaki Chronicles is fine for fans of the series. But the battles are a little stiff, and the relationships between locations, characters, and events would be confounding to Naruto newbies. [Sept 2007, p.74]
-
60It does lack that touch of genius that Nintendo brought to its Pokemon series, but for what the final product represents and whom it will appeal to, the match is ideal.
-
The weakest title yet from the Naruto series. It feels unsurprisingly familiar, and lacks any real punch. [Apr 2008, p.82]
-
60Doesn't hold a candle to the fun-filled action of the Naruto anime or manga. [Oct 2007, p.84]
-
60Not a real strong contender in the Naruto franchise, but it will probably be a hit with kids who watch the TV show. For all others, it's probably best to rent before you buy.
-
55The Naruto license does little to compensate for this forgettable brawler's undemanding combat and tedious story.
-
This franchise is quickly heading for the bottom. This is one of the few second installment to expand on the original in more than just character selection. Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is for serious fans only.
-
But fan feelings about the story aside, the narrative isn't the only part of this game that doesn't do the source material justice. The gameplay is pretty bad too.
-
52Sadly, Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is a button-masher devoid of all the things we love about the show or fighting games in general.
-
50The only thing a causal fan will appreciate is they toned down the excruciatingly annoying soundbites. That, we do applaud.
-
50One of Naruto's more disappointing adventures.
-
50A bit of a let down, really.
-
50We recommend that only the most dedicated, noble, selfless, and utterly brave Naruto fans try this game out.
-
50This might make a good present for your nephew's upcoming birthday, but for those looking for a good Naruto game worth sinking your teeth into, you're better off plunking down for one of the Ultimate Ninja games.
-
50Despite a well-developed combat system, Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is a generic beat 'em up title with minimal redeeming features. Unless you liked the first game, there are better Naruto titles available that offer a more pleasing experience.
-
It's still wonky like a broken seesaw. [May 2008, p.79]
-
This game is pretty much a train wreck from start to finish.
-
30A tedious, repetitive brawler with atrocious production.
-
Despite its overpowering shortcomings, the game is still a Naruto game through and through. Strictly for the Naruto-minded.
-
25At the end of the day Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 just isn't all that much fun and doesn't go out of its way to build upon the last iteration in this continuing series.
