    This is without a doubt one of the best licensed games ever. It is impressively faithful to the show, and you'll be amazed by the beautiful graphics and the awesome battles.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the best Naruto game. With a well adopted storyline, challenging fights and a lot of playable characters the game has everything a Naruto fan wants to see.

    It goes without saying, but Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is still just a Naruto game. Full of loose, yet accessible mechanics, the game is a love letter to Naruto fans that seems to forget that it needs to complete its sentences to get its point across.

    A nice fighting game with great graphics, but the adventure mode is just horrible.

  1. This game was surprisingly the best Naruto game I've actually played. The graphics were lively, the storyline had a good touch, and also, many new available concepts to the characters were created, which had changed a lot for the better. In addition, the 3D movement around the map was the best part, and assistance from 2 characters were even better in my personal opinion. Expand
  2. I am a huge fan of the manga and anime, and though the sequel does not have the same awesome free roam feature as the first, it still has the same great story and epic fighting as the first, if not an improvement of the storytelling and fighting Expand

    I enjoy the Naruto anime, this game has the anime's awesome story, but if it is the story that you crave, I'd recommend watching the anime. The games story is rather watered down compared to the anime, although, since they're covering about 170 episodes of anime, it is to be expected.

    The fighting is really good, and quite different from most of the fighters out there. Even after playing for quite a while, one picks up on subtleties that would have been missed before. My only real gripe is the art style. They made it very true to the anime's art style, but the outlines of the characters can look really grainy at times, which seems out of place in this generation of games.

    This Naruto game is a good experience for the fans of Naruto or fans of anime. The battle system is very good and fun. The story mode is fun but a bit boring some times, the "boss battles" are amazing. The graphics are better then the first game like the story mode. The gameplay hasn't change, is the same since the games from PS2. The characters are well made and the voice acting in japanese is excellent like always, I don't like the english voice acting...but beside this is just another naruto game like the other ones from the PS2, this one only has more story.
