    This game seems more like it is worse than the first. Storm 1 is my favorite Naruto game and probably will stay that way. Storm 2 has some good ideas, but they also tore out some key gameplay options that showed who knew what they were doing and the whiney babies who just thought they were good. They took out the button mashing witch is very bad.... The specials seem more like cheap lastThis game seems more like it is worse than the first. Storm 1 is my favorite Naruto game and probably will stay that way. Storm 2 has some good ideas, but they also tore out some key gameplay options that showed who knew what they were doing and the whiney babies who just thought they were good. They took out the button mashing witch is very bad.... The specials seem more like cheap last minute things just kinda thrown in. Online is fun if you find a player your own skill level. I like many others enjoyed the village in Storm 1, well they also tore that out. its a 2d form and all you really need to do is follow your arrow to the next mission. It only roughly tells the original story and in my eyes is missing some important parts. The only reason anyone should go through the story is to unlock characters. Up next is the boss battles. Remember those awesome huge boss battles in 1? well say good bye to those... While there are still a couple good battle(Sasuke vs Naruto) most are terrible.Just the few I have gone through anyone who still wants the game needs to be warned. The boss battle with kakuzu is just painful! I`m just a little past that so cant say much else.... For storm fans the game might be worth picking up.... BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, RENT IT FIRST!!!! YOU MIGHT REGRET IT.… Expand

    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 inThis Naruto game is a good experience for the fans of Naruto or fans of anime.

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.… Expand

    While there are improvements to the combat, the presentation problems from the first game aren't fixed and the new mission design makes the game a chore to playh through at times.

    Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm takes a commendable leap forward, delivering an improved story mode while maintaining its signature visual flair and engaging gameplay. As a devoted fan of the Naruto franchise, I found myself immersed in its vibrant world once again. With its enhanced narrative and captivating graphics, this installment had the potential to achieve greatness.

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

    Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is undoubtedly the dream game for any Naruto fan, and manages to capture the colossal battles from the cartoon better than any game before it. For non-fans however, there's a lot of backstory to go through before getting to the meat of the game. The fighting system seems overly simplistic at first, but then requires you to master it fully in order to progress, which might prove frustrating for some players.
