I just got mine today! It's a good fighting game for anyone who love Naruto. Some new feature is 3 men-team fighting. A mission type mode.
It got about 20 characters to choose. I recommended it!

ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I'VE EVER PLAYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't think of Ultimate Ninja Heroes as the PSP version of Ultimate Niinja 2. It's basically it's own game. There are missions you can do and rise up in the rank to become the leader of your village: THE HOKAGE! One of the really great features of this game, and it's one of the 1st games that i've seen it in, is the game sharing feature. That means that you and you're friend can play the game together and one of you don't even have to have a copy of the game. Me and my friend played together and the connection is really good. The load time is a little long in multiplayer mode but it's not impossible to live with. I love being able to change the difficulty of the game if your opponents that you battle are too easy for you. You can set it to easy, normal, or intense and believe me it can get hard. It took me 5-10 tries to beat on of the characters on Heroes mode. There are a few downsides to the game as in any game. For one, there are only 20 characters. I mean it's not bad for a handheld game but it would have been nicer if there were more characters. Number 2, the game is kind of short after you beat Heroes mode and Promotion Mode the game is basically over. Its not short for me being that I haven't beaten it yet but if you are really good at fighting games you'll beat it pretty quick. Other than that, its a really great and fun game. A must buy for any Naruto fan.

Best naruto game out there!

I've played a bunch of naruto games and this is, by really far, the best one. If you like the show it's a must, it has the 4 main leaf village teams, plus kakahi, guy, garaa, jiraiya, tsunade, orochimaru, itachi, and kisame. It's a challenging game to master, but really fun to play on the easier modes. I have been playing it for like a month and it's still not boring.

Good, but temporary fun

When I first bought Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes, I couldn't keep my hands off of it. I played it everywhere, at school, at home, at friends' houses, everywhere. It was that good. However, after a few weeks or so of vigorous playing, I felt myself drifting away. The game was losing its appeal. As a whole it has absolutely no storyline, but is purely arcade fighting. While mastering the game takes a while, finishing the game from easy to insane, can be accomplished relatively quickly. As a whole, the game suffers from the lack of versatility of each character. While each character possesses different strengths, weaknesses, and jutsu, their abilities are all channeled through the same O O O Direction O combos. Based on button input, all of the characters are the same. While playing each character provides a different experience, as a whole, each character is handled with the same repetitive button-mash style.

Graphics: 9, things looked crisp for the PSP
Sound: 6, music and sound effects were good, but the voice-work was terrible
Gameplay: 8, it was very addicting for a long time
Lasting Appeal: 7, definitely a fun game, but I rarely pick it up these days
Overall: 7.5, good game, but it just doesn't stack up with complex fighters such as Tekken

The first PSP game for Naruto fans and it's simply the best. Great graphics and fighting techniques. Choose from 20 of your favorite characters and their unique fighting skills. Sequels could only be better and worth seeing for this console. During the fighting sequences you can select and pick up from an arsenal of weapons. The gameplay is simple and easy to maneuver. You have the ability to power up your characters so that you can create the ultimate ninja hero. With Wi-Fi cabalities you can battle your friends and foes in the Naruto universe. Not only can you rise up in 7 different ninja ranks but you can battle through 8 interactive scenes throughout the game. While you select and customize your favorite character you can go through single player mode or fight in multiplayer mode. There you can work through team-based fighting and unlock secret teams. Even though you have 6 intense battle versus modes this game is a must have. If you're a Naruto fan, you might want to add this to your collection. This game might prove your skills and lead you on the path to your own unique ninja way. Buy this game today if you want a unique experience with great gameplay and unique style.

If only more people were interested in it...

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes is a purchase that is almost certainly worth it if you appreciate non-nuanced fighting games or the Naruto series in general. There is almost no depth to the fighting and at higher difficulties it becomes and infinite battle of using the kawarimi(I refuse to use the American 'substitution technique' even if I may be spelling it incorrectly) move over and over again or resulting to cheap tactics that might in any other game be called 'cheesing'. However, in Ultimate Ninja Heroes this is the norm and it quickly becomes more important to find who can string together unbeatable techniques in the safest manner possible than to actually be involved in the exchange of blows and timed counterattacks. If you remember though, I started this review off by saying that the game is worth purchasing, and I meant it. As ridiculous as the fighting system is, the CPUs take merciless advantage of it and quickly become challenging even for hardcore gamers. At the same time the Vs. CPU mode is extremely enjoyable and can be set to be at any difficulty, (although even the highest difficulty in that mode is significantly easier than CPUs in the hard story mode, let alone the insane story mode). The game also allows for an RPG inspired leveling sytem for you character's stats, which does tend to make them ridiculously overpowered if the slightest bit of though is put into it. This does not take away from the fun of the game though as you godlike characters are not usable in the story mode (called heroes mode for some reason). What makes it truly worthy of it's price tag however, is it's use of the PSP's game sharing functionality, allowing you to play a Vs. match against another PSP user regardless of whether they own the game or not (this feature also denies you use of your hard earned godlike characters so as not to completely unbalance the game). So being a fan of the series or enjoying the genre of games that Ultimate Ninja Heroes falls into will more than make up for its slights. There is one final gripe though in that the game has been significantly altered since its Japanese release...which wouldn't be such a problem if not for the fact that nobody in America seems in the least excited about this game. FAQ's are non-existent for the American version and there is little chance of finding another person within walking distance who is remotely interested in playing the game. This is perhaps the most significant reason why the game-sharing functionality is so important, in that if it required two people to own the game to play a Vs. match, the only way you would ever get to play one would be if you bought two copies of the game and would lend one to whomever you wished to play against (this may mean you will utterly defeat your friends whenever you play them unless they do a lot of game sharing with you).

It is a great game.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes First off, this game has great graphics. It's gameplay is impeccable, there are plenty of characters, each with their "secret combinations" of teams, hidden, or obvious. Heroes mode would be considered the "main" mode, as it is the first mode you see when you first enter the game. Promotion test would be the next best thing, it is a great way to get more parameter points for your characters. Versus computer I would say is the least favorable section of all. In this mode, you gain a meager 10 parameter points, and 2 gold scrolls. I believe that they could have been more generous and give AT LEAST 50 points per battle, which is why I never use vs. comp, I use heroes mode. The wireless mode is a good way to battle friends and what-not, and finally the parameter power up is the most useful part of the game. All in all, this game is incredible.

A Must Have for PSP owners

Ultimate Ninja Heroes, though not the best game I have ever played, is definately a must for any PSP owner, Naruto fan or not. It has a great selection of characters and stages. And unlike some portable games the character variation is evident. The special attack system is enjoyable and innovative, first you use your character powers up, and for the next few seconds any attack landed will cause a special Jutsu to initiate. Some moves even, such as Itachis, will also change gameplay (after using Itachi's special your opponent will slow down allowing for attack!) Though many people have complained that their is no storyline, it does not mar this game. I would recommend it to any Naruto fan!

I believe that Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes is a very entertaining game. I enjoyed the "Promotion" mode; battling other ninja to rank up was fun, but also challenging. Having played Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2 before playing this game, I was a bit let down when I found that the game did not have much of a story mode. However, it still is a must for Naruto lovers.

Great Game, not much of a story line in it, if at all, but if your into the basic fighting game, this is the game for you.
