    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
    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.

    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.
