In A Way, Uzumaki Chronicles Can Be Fun, But Its Very Repetative With Dull Colours, Lame Missions And 5 Playable Ninjas.

User Rating: 6.8 | Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles PS2
GOOD: Great Voice acting and sound effects; pretty long story mode; Nice RPG element usage

BAD: Dull, boring colours; lame missions; can only play as Naruto with Sasuke, Shikamara, choji and neji as tag partners; repetative combat

GAMEPLAY:
This Naruto game plays different from the other 2-on-2 battles found in Clash of ninja and Ultimate Ninja, this time you play as Naruto on series of missions set by the Hokage these missions veries on difficulty depending on what mission it is, Delivery missions are easy as you take a cart to another country and protect it from rouge ninjas, others can be things like protect someone, exsterminate someone ect ect which are tougher. onto combat, the combat can be quite fun with easy use controls, but they are very repetative, You have the basic punch and kick buttons which you can pull off different combos, theres also a block button were if you press it at the right time you'll use the Subtatustion Jutsu too appire behind the foe.
and finnish them off, you can also pull of mega moves like Kage Bunshin's and the famous Rasengan do this at the right time with punching and Kage bunshin and you can use Uzumaki Naruto Barash. you'll come to terms that these combos aint realy that usefull on rouge ninjas (By the way, these rouge ninjas are pretty much the same all the way through the game. Repetative) as you can just simple kick and punch them with is easier and pretty much kills them after the hit combo anyways, whats the point?.

GRAPHICS:
The graphics theself are okay, but Naruto is an anime, and this does'nt capture the anime look, it is Cartoony like, but the dull dark gray colours look realy realy bad, and the frame rate cant hold up aginst loads of on screen foes and special attacks

SOUND:
The sound is the best part of the overall game, it have the original english voice acting from the hit tv show Naruto and the music is realy cool too.

OVERALL:
Not realy a game for anyone, i faily enjoyed the game cos im a Die Hard Naruto fan, but even Die Hards wil have trouble enjoying this game.
