    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 proof as to how far we have come when it comes to creating worlds of gaming. Even if you're not verse in the ways of the ninja, but still enjoy Japanese animation, this game will amaze you.

    Ultimate Nina Storm 2 is definitely an improvement for the series, faithfully utilizing its source material to create a fun, striking game. The online multiplayer is still a work in progress for the series, and while not all revisions are for the better, there's plenty of content stashed into the package to make it a worthwhile pick up.

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is a great upgrade of the previous game. New characters, new game mechanics, more variety, a brand new story mode and the online multiplayer are great addictions to a nice experience.

    But those looking for a mix of good multi-tiered fighting that's finally available online with some elements of an action-adventure (although nowhere near as engaging as the fighting aspect) that also provides long, fan-appealing anime cut-scenes that weave together another Naruto tale should be satisfied with the second installment of this particular Naruto-based franchise.

    A flair for the dramatic elevates Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 above its shallow combat.

    Of the three Naruto games on Xbox 360, this definitely gets the bronze. [Issue#98, p.89]

O jogo tem bons gráficos, e quantidade favorável de personagens e não tem tanta coisa pra fazer após completar o modo história.

    I tried the game for an hour years ago and it took me until this week to try it again. It's a strange mix between great visual presentationI tried the game for an hour years ago and it took me until this week to try it again. It's a strange mix between great visual presentation and shockingly slow tedious gameplay. It will have you run across the entire world map as though that were fun, and then show a slowly paced conversation between static character models, and then change you to another character and make you run across the world map again like you just did a moment ago.

    Anyway, I don't do any side missions and just run straight to the next fight since that's where anything happens.. if you're in a normal fight, you just have to spam the easily-performed ultimate attacks until the enemy loses. If you're in a boss battle, you're in for some very exciting QTE type activity that is not what I'd call good gameplay mechanics, but the choreography of the fights in these QTE sequences are very fun to look at. That I'd say would be the only exciting part of the game, it's like watching an interactive anime at that point.. but otherwise I nearly quit on the game about 4 times just in chapter 1 due to the slow pacing and unrewarding conversations.    … Expand
