Summary: My Review
Comment: 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.

Summary: Ultimate Ninja Heroes
Comment: 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.

Summary: A Must Have for PSP owners
Comment: 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!

Summary: It is a great game.
Comment: 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.

Summary: If only more people were interested in it...
Comment: 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).
