    Naruto path of the ninja 2 is a pretty decent,if not short RPG
    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    Naruto path of the ninja 2 is a pretty decent,if not short RPG
    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    … Expand

    Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 is one of the best games you can pick up for your Nintendo DS with it's flushed out battle mechanics and great, story mode. 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.    … Expand

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

    On the one hand, it's new; on the other, it feels like a fairly standard filler episode in the anime series. [Nov 2008, p.104]

    Unfortunately, once you level up enough, you can get through the game simply by mashing the "attack" button, which doesn't say much about the game's complexity. [Nov 2008, p.103]

    Naruto: Path of Ninja 2 is a missed opportunity, lacking consistency and polish. Fans may embrace the game for the Naruto brand alone, but the story and unadventurous level designs will fail to keep their interest. At least the battle mechanics are a step in the right direction.
