Great start on the Ultimate Ninja series

User Rating: 7 | Naruto: Narutimate Hero PS2
Here is my review for Naruto: Ultimate Ninja:

Gameplay:
Simple, fun and easy to pick up, the gameplay will keep you busy for a few hours. It's really fun if you have a friend and when you're alone. Cutscenes are not too great and the story mode feels a little short but it's ok. The mission mode is pretty long. Combos get repetive and they aren't that great. Also, buying things one at a time gets tedious and time consuming. 7/10

Graphics:
The graphics look 2D but you can see a little 3D in them. I don't really like the graphics but I like the character models and the stages. Enviroments look really nice and special attacks look really awesome. 6/10

Sound:
Addicting, traditional music keeps the action flowing but dubbed sounds are not too special. Voice acting is ok but the background music is not too bad. Overall, I wish there was an option to switch dialogue to japanese but it's ok. 7/10

Value:
Save you money for the other two ultimate ninjas; this one's not really worth getting. The other two have improved graphics, more charcaters and an RPG mode. 6/10

Tilt:
Overall, this might impress hardcore naruto fans but for normal fans, they might not like it. A great start on the Ultimate Ninjas but they can improve on it. 6/10
