My brother first introduced me to "Naruto" the show, and I ended up liking it, though I usually try to steer clear of all the Japanese manga things. I played this game, and I really thought it was going to suck, but turns out, it didn't.

*Graphics-- My rating: 3.5/5 stars
The graphics in this game were ok, they could have been better and way more realistic looking. But then, since this game is based off of a cartoon-like show, it seems reasonable that the gameplay scenery should also look like this.

*Voice Acting/Dialogue-- My rating: 5/5 stars
The voice acting in this game is superb, it sounds just like the show. The dialogue, too, seems like it-- you never find yourself confused because that character would never say that. The only thing that bugged me was that there was a lot of the "??!" in dialogue (interpreted by the actors as HUH? or UH!), and it got kind of annoying.

*Fighting Style-- My rating: 5/5 stars
The fighting in this game is great because you can do all kinds of moves and they're not too hard to figure out, like they are in the "Tekken" series. You can also do the moves and specials that you've seen the characters do in the show. Also, there's no blood, so nothing for parents to complain about.

*Overall Gameplay Difficulty-- My rating: 4/5 stars (INTERMEDIATE)
I liked the gameplay in this game. I usually don't play fighting games that often, so I opted for the story modes. These are very easy, and beginners to the fighting genre will like that it is not too challenging so that they can learn the moves at their own speed. But the game is also for people that are experts at this sort of thing: the Mission modes are just like the ones in the show. You start off at Training, D-rank & C-rank missions which are easier; and then you get to B-rank & A-rank, which should definitely pacify lots of competitive gamers because they are HARD!!

Overall Game Rating: 4.5/5 stars

I really enjoyed playing this game, it's a good buy for the PS2.

Truly a great game

This is my 2nd favorite PS2 Game ever (the first being One Piece Grand Battle) You can play as 14 characters, and you have more variety than in Clash of Ninja. I like Ultimate Ninja better.

Unlocked Characters:

Naruto Uzumaki
Sasuke Uchiha
Sakura Haruno
Kakashi Hatake
Rock Lee
Shikamaru Nara

Locked Characters:

Neji Hyuga
Hinata Hyuga
Haku
Zabuza Momochi
Gaara
Orochimaru
Cursed Marked Sasuke
Kyubi Naruto

There are also 12 different stages. (did I mention you can switch mid-combat?)

Each character have multilevel super attacks with different strengths that can eliminate more than half of an enemy's life bar in a single maneuver.

Overall, this is a very good game.

Way better than CoN and like SSM. This game is hot!

Gameplay: Naruto Ultimate Ninja has a similar style to Super Smash Bros. Melee. When you start the game, it may be a little difficult to keep up, so I recommend for you to practice first. In the game you can pick up alot of items for different functions, some for attacking, other for health and some for effects. You also fight in two planes, each time you change the plane, you recover health. There are alot of combos, more than dbz budokais, maybe except dbz budokai 3, and way more than Naruto CoN.
The variety of characters aint so diverce, but its still good. In game, you can select Story Mode, Mission Mode, Free Play and Versus, plus the shop, were you can buy alot of items, including clothes, music, clips, toys and trading cards. Remember I told you guys there were 14 characters? Well here they are: Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Lee, Kakashi, Shikamaru, Neji, Hinata, Haku, Zabuza, Gaara, Orochimaru , Naruto Kyubi and Sasuke Cursed Marked. There are more than 6 supers and 7 in some cases, there are 3 styles for the supers, first form, second form, and third form, which is the most powerful one.
There are button combos to perform the supers, if you fail in attacking then it will damage less, if you fail in defending, it will damage you normally.

Graphics: Graphics are like SSBM, sometimes better when you enter the fighting cut-scenes.

Sound: For those who love the jap. ver., I recommend to skip all the Naruto parts. For those who watch it in english then you'll have no problem.

Value: The game is worth the $40. But if you're not a Naruto fan, then I recommend you rent it first.

Overral: Great game, not so much characters, alot of awesome combos, cool game modes, good graphics and a big divercity of items. Naruto UN is definately worth the Naruto title.

THE BEST GAME EVER !!

This game has the best graphics, the best moves, and some of the best characters in naruto! The support characters feature is outstanding since with neji and tenten, i'm unbeatable! The controls are ligthning fast and easy to learn. It might take some time time fully memorize them. The shraingan, byakugan, and lee's celestial gates, the jutsus, make the the game seem like your in the anime and manga! I hope to see the seqeuls come to america!

I bought this game for my grandsons. When they played it, they called with such excitement to thank me over and over for this marvelous game. Their words were, "this is Soooo cool, awesome, and, the ultimate"....just to name a few. They invited their friends over to share the excitement! Thanks....

This game..is awesome!

This game is absolutley cool. I've looked at it very well, the graphics are very well done, but the audio..eh, it's okay, too, but it's not the best I've heard. Oh, yes, for the guy that wondered how to get Cursed Mark Sasuke or Naruto..well, for Sasuke, get to a Chunin Rank, for Naruto, on the other hand, you'll have to rank Jonin to obtain him. Anyhow, good bye for now!

Very happy indeed

I am so glad they finally brought one to the states! I couldn't ever bring myself to buy a foreign PS2, haha. I must say though, I hope that the American Ultimate 2 is really the Narutimate 3 game from Japan. That one is my all time favorite and the character selection beats anything I have ever seen. But keep up the good work.

The graphics are exactly what I would expect from the time lag between the ports, so no complaints there.

Gameplay is great for casual and hardcore fighter players. This is a great all around game.
