    Very very fun with a lot of senseless violence, I love it!
    It is also quite cheap now that the new naruto game has been released, just ebay it and get the classics one.
    So so addicting.

    I find IT Very COOL, THE ADVENTURE MODE IS A CANDY FOR THE FANS, BUT FOR THE NEW PLAYERS DOES A GOOD JOB INTRODUCING THE STORY, THE FIGHTS ARE INCREDIBLE FLUID AND FUN, THIS IS AN MUST HAVE FOR ANY FIGHTING GAME FAN , WHETER YOU LIKE NARUTO OR NOT, SO, GO AND BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOUR FRIENDS WITH YOUR FAVORITE JUTSU!

    This game was an utter disappointment. The story mode is simply tedious. I have never seen a game classified as "free roam" feel so linear. Other than the fighting, the missions are just a tedious, boring collabotation of searching for various items from people to signs on trees. It follows the naruto story which is nice, but if you have never seen the show, much of what is occuring in theThis game was an utter disappointment. The story mode is simply tedious. I have never seen a game classified as "free roam" feel so linear. Other than the fighting, the missions are just a tedious, boring collabotation of searching for various items from people to signs on trees. It follows the naruto story which is nice, but if you have never seen the show, much of what is occuring in the game will make no sense. I am a naruto fan and I knew what was happening, but if I didn't, I'm sure I would have been lost at times. The fighting system is fun for 20 minutes until you realize that that's all you can do. Incredibly shallow system with no real depth anywhere. The various maps you can fight on are all the same with different looking backgrounds. I like maps with a little bit of variety but they are all just circles or squares of ground with varying backgrounds. I'd like to see something to make it interesting. Maybe a few trees in forest maps, or some kind of building in the village ones. Just to allow that extra dimension of utilizing the environment when fighting. I was expecting a lot out of this game. Also voice acting is terribad, so just leave it on japanese and use subtitles. Expect loading screens after you walk the 15 feet across a bridge, patch of grass, etc. way too much loading in the game. Visuals are nice, and the fighting is fast paced and accessible to any 5 year old with 2 hands. Over 40 characters. These are really the only positives out of this game.… Expand

    I tried the game for an hour years ago and it took me until this week to try it again. It's a strange mix between great visual presentation and shockingly slow tedious gameplay. It will have you run across the entire world map as though that were fun, and then show a slowly paced conversation between static character models, and then change you to another character and make you runI tried the game for an hour years ago and it took me until this week to try it again. It's a strange mix between great visual presentation and shockingly slow tedious gameplay. It will have you run across the entire world map as though that were fun, and then show a slowly paced conversation between static character models, and then change you to another character and make you run across the world map again like you just did a moment ago.

    Anyway, I don't do any side missions and just run straight to the next fight since that's where anything happens.. if you're in a normal fight, you just have to spam the easily-performed ultimate attacks until the enemy loses. If you're in a boss battle, you're in for some very exciting QTE type activity that is not what I'd call good gameplay mechanics, but the choreography of the fights in these QTE sequences are very fun to look at. That I'd say would be the only exciting part of the game, it's like watching an interactive anime at that point.. but otherwise I nearly quit on the game about 4 times just in chapter 1 due to the slow pacing and unrewarding conversations.    … Expand

    The boss battles are clearly the star here. Even though the speed of mashing B was ridiculous. There's beautiful background art and plenty of characters to fight in free battle.

    Conta a história do início do shippuden até a luta contra Pain. O jogo tem bons gráficos, e quantidade favorável de personagens e não tem tanta coisa pra fazer após completar o modo história. O que fez o jogo brilhar pra mim foi o modo história, eu amo a luta contra o Pain e o jogo é bem dinâmico, recheado de quick time events e lutas épicas.

    But those looking for a mix of good multi-tiered fighting that's finally available online with some elements of an action-adventure (although nowhere near as engaging as the fighting aspect) that also provides long, fan-appealing anime cut-scenes that weave together another Naruto tale should be satisfied with the second installment of this particular Naruto-based franchise.

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

    Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 is the ultimate Naruto-game you can get at the moment. The line between anime and game disappears on a regular basis thanks to the atmosphere it delivers both during and outside of the storyline. The problem with lag and cumbersome setup of the online multiplayer are the only real faults in an almost flawless Naruto-experience.
