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.
