A fun game.

User Rating: 7 | Naruto: Konoha Spirits PS2
Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 is based on Anime Naruto. Naruto basically is an Anime about ninjas. It's gathered like most Anime a big cult following. Although it's geared for teens, there's a lot to enjoy for even adults.

In this game you play as Naruto. You fight against the Puppet Clan which is trying to take Hidden Leaf and other villagers. The puppet clan has sorcerers and monsters that can many powers including taking over the bodies of Naruto's friends.

I got this in the bargain bin part of Blockubuster last year and for the most part I thought it was worth getting. Definite fun.

I expected the worst because this game got a really score by IGN but then again there have been many low scoring games rated by them that haven't been that bad. I was pleasantly surprised when the game was in my opinion much better than what reviews said about the game.


Graphics: The characters look just like they do in the Anime. The dubbed actors do a decent job with the vocals here. The graphics are decent for the most part again keeping intact how the series looks. A lot of cutscenes that run fluid and look just like the Anime series.

Sound: Sound is great. The music they use fits the environments in the game. As stated they also have the actors do the voices and they seem to have fun with the game.

Controls: Controls are easy. There are moves that require special orbs. The really cool thing is that you have a lot of Naruto players to choose from.Naruto, Shikamaru, Rock Lee, Kakashi, Guy, Sasuke, or Choji, all of these guys and girls have different powers and skills to offer, so a lot of kudos for adding variety to this game. The variety of characters and the different moveset do elevate the game to the point of it being enjoyable. Had this not been the case, I wouldn't recommend the game.

Challenge: Challenge was ok could have been higher. It's a very easy game for an experience gamer. With that said, it was still enjoyable to change between characters use their strengths to your advantage. The bosses do pose difficulty and it does take a certain amount of time and technique to knock them down.

The game also has the menu to play co-op and multiplayer games. There's a survival mode option which is customary in most games. The survival mode is basically where you try to kill as many enemies as you can while staying alive.

Overall, it's an enjoyable game. I would recommend if you're a fan of the show
