    Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2, and the Path of the Ninja series as a whole, is proof that an RPG based on a popular license can be good.

    A significant improvement over the first, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 is one of the best original (non-port) RPGs released for the DS platform. Naruto fans will definitely be engrossed by the story and anime-inspired scenarios, but this is also a quality role-playing game that RPG fans will want to check out.

    Another entry-level RPG that's more Pokémon than Final Fantasy. Fine if you like that type of thing.

Besides playing the online aspects of the game, it does holds itself with a lot of goodies (and some baddies).

    Pros:
    - Great Story (Not the best non-canonical story for Naruto but still interesting enough.)
    - Good I guess antagonistic personalities.
    - Great battle system.

    Cons
    - Very gimmicky touch screen support.
    - Enemies that are not directly tied into the story are just generic, on-the-spot enemies.    … Full Review »

    Naruto path of the ninja 2 is a pretty decent,if not short RPG
    Pros-

    Pros-
    The battle sprites are well made
    Several characters,all of who fight differently enough to add replay value
    There is a certain level of satisfaction when you kill high level enemies,such as anbu's and Ninja tigers
    Cons-
    VERY cookie cutter villain
    Simple plot and desperately lengthens itself constantly Final boss is extremely cheap and doesn't feel like a fair battle
    Characters will gain several useless Jutsu,and you will only use 2-3(at most) by end-game
    Characters voices in battle can get annoying after a while,although I must ambit,hearing Shikamaru calling a giant salamander dragon a drag is kinda funny
    All-in-all Its a pretty good RPG that is better then most people give it credit for    … Full Review »
