    The game may have been better suited for PlayStation 3.

    Inspired by the success of Monster Hunter, Dragon Quest IX and the like, Naruto enters the realm of multiplayer play and characters customization. An enticing idea, but its execution is failing because of an ordinary gameplay, poor visuals and dull combats.

    The frustrating AI ultimately ruins what could have been a decent PSP brawler. It would take an extreme amount of patience or loyalty to the Naruto brand to even see this game to the finish, especially when it's a side story of the franchise.

But still, i love the characters moves especially sasuke, itachi, kakashi, and shikamaru. And the multiplayer makes the game better than it deserves, the story is good but short even though i dont understand why they didnt make an army of false tailed beasts and attack the leaf village instead of awakening a beast that was overpowered by 4 ninjas even after his fusion with the antagonist who i forgot his name..., i sometimes boot up this game for nostalgia and because im very good at it, but if you wanna try it out do it out of your own risk… Full Review »

I cant believe that peope who loves videogames could make this. they shouldnt work in this indusrty, maybe should try themselvs as smbd else. this is horrible, i wasted my time, dont waste yours. for nostalgia better check other psp games… Full Review »
