WorthPlaying Review - 'Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2'

WorthPlaying writes: "There is a hidden rule amongst games that any titles that include the words "Ultimate Ninja" must either be man's greatest contribution to the medium or vastly overcompensating for its inadequacies. While describing Naruto as the greatest contribution to anything lacks some credibility, it certainly does n't fail to entertain and is partially deserving of such a title.

In preparation for this review, I acquainted myself with Naruto, and despite my usual cynicism regarding overpowered anime fistfights, I found them oddly watchable, possibly because they didn't venture down the Dragon Ball Z path of constant invincible power-leveling and screaming by the protagonists. Upon playing Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2 - The Phantom Fortress, the fan service was instantly fulfilled with a vast number of characters from the series being playable and all the original voice acting being present. Being a recent fan of the series, I can safely say that any veteran will find a lot to like here. Loyalties to characters can be expressed by beating the irritation out of the more despised characters, such as Naruto himself, who never stops shouting throughout the game."
