ROUND TWO
GAMEPLAY:
This second round I completed the first promotion test but I ran into trouble finding colored scrolls in the other modes to unlock my missions. With the more play time I have done better in memorizing my attacks and using secret and specialty moves. I'm still experiencing difficulty with items.
I began to use other characters and experimenting with the other techniques of my other favorite characters. I've also noticed that there are a few “mystery” characters which I have to unlock in order to use. This is frustrating me because the only thing I seem to be getting are golden scrolls but I am still in want of blue, green, yellow, and pink scrolls.
DESIGN:
This game is pretty simple in that all you have to do is fight with combo attacks but the fact that you have a variety of characters each with different styles and attacks makes the game intresting because you can test different techniques against others. This makes each game play unique and there's many ways to win. I also liked that there were different modes and that the modes supported each other so you don't get bored playing in the same style for long because you switch from team to single battles constantly.
This game however was a little confusing because it's a bit unclear in where to find or what you have to do in order to earn scrolls so you can advance on missions on the Promotion Test mode. Also during battles you had to destroy objects in order to recieve items. The items were confusing because there were so many and they're all similar looking and sometmes they harmed my character.
Overall its a fun game filled with corny battle cries and dialogue. I think people who are fans of either the anime or manga may enjoy it more because the characters' personalities stay true to the anime and the techniques are the ones seen on TV. The game tone is lightly competitive but can be alot more competetive when playing against another person rather than the CPU. It is a sociable game.

SUMMARY:
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Heroes is in short a two player fighting game based on the Naruto manga and anime. Basically, its a universe of ninja's each with they're own special techniques going on missions and competing against each other to gain higher ninja rankings within the village. In the game the ultimate goal is to become Hokage (the village protector and strongest ninja). In this game there are three different modes you can play. One is the Heroes Mode in which you choose a team from the list of characters from the anime and you fight against other teams as well. During battle you collect items that will help you in battle and also in the other modes. There's the one on one against the CPU you mode in which you use only 1 character instead of a team of three. In the third, Promotion Test Mode you choose 1 character and go on different missions and grow as a ninja to higher and higher rankings. In order to unlock new missions you must collect scrolls from the other two modes.
GAMEPLAY:
Being mainly a two-fighter game, this is much more enjoyable playing against another person. However, I enjoyed this game because there's a lot to keep in mind like memorizing fighting combo's keeping track of your items, knowing how and when to use them and when not to use them. I had trouble with this because I kept using paper bombs and bomb kunai and I would get caught in the explosion.
Attack combos were a bit frustrating at first I had trouble with remembering combos but when I'd stumble into a secret attack combo I was very proud of myself. I also kept choosing my favorite character from the anime which of course is one of the weakest characters in the game and has made playing this game slightly harder for me. So far she hasn't let me down too much and I quite enjoy the "gentle-fist" style of hers.
