User Rating: 9.6 | Naruto: Narutimate Hero 2 PS2
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 (PS2) Last year's Naruto: Ultimate Ninja proved that just because a game is based on a popular anime franchise, that doesn't mean that it has to skimp on quality. And fans of Masashi Kishimoto's adolescent martial artist will be happy to hear that the same is true of the second game in the series. Although some hardcore gamers might find this over-the-top fighter to be a little on the shallow side, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 is everything that a sequel should be: twice the action, twice the content and twice the fun.

As in the first game, Ultimate Ninja 2 uses a "2.5D" perspective (3D visuals on a 2D plane) similar to Super Smash Bros. Melee's, allowing for some truly impressive character models and animations without overcomplicating the control scheme. You can also jump between the foreground, middle ground and background of each stage, adding a bit of depth to what is essentially a 2D brawler. And the sheer joy of nearly unlimited freedom of movement gives Ultimate Ninja 2 a sense of ludicrous velocity. In addition to the usual jumps and double jumps and dashes, you can also run up a wall just by running toward it or dart across water without sinking.

Ultimate Ninja 2 doesn't have SSBM's deep gameplay, but its pick-up-and-play accessibility helps to make up for that. Basically, there are only a few buttons you really need to worry about: Circle attacks, X jumps, Square uses an item that you pick up in combat, R2/L2 blocks and holding down on the D-pad stores your "chakra" for a secret technique. Once you've stored up enough chakra, you can unleash a secret technique with a simple combo of Triangle and Circle button presses.

There's no doubt that the secret techniques are the MVPs of the game. Executing one is as electric as pulling off a finishing move in a wrestling game or a fatality in Mortal Kombat. Once you activate a secret technique, the screen switches to a pre-rendered anime cutscene of the attack. Both opponents compete in a simple minigame to decide if the move lands or not. These range from a series of button presses to rotating the analog stick as fast as you can, similar to the Mario Party minigame that resulted in Nintendo sending out special gloves so that kids would stop wearing holes through their palms. The Ultimate Ninja 2 version is no less excruciating during a marathon session, so you might want to pick up a roll of athletic tape if you're planning on playing for hours on end.
lol well i hope you like the game cos i love it :D
