Best fighting game I own.
Date of Review: Jun 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a great game that anyone who likes fighting games, the Naruto anime, or just likes PS2 games should definitely buy.
I've been waiting for this game for six months. When it finally came out I got it the very first day. I got home and played it until two in the morning. I was so impressed with the new style of game play in ultimate road. There are some really hard parts that I had to play a few times, but that is what makes the game fun. Anyone who likes the anime should not hesitate in purchasing it. Even if you haven't seen the anime, but just really like fighting games I would highly suggest adding it to your collection. The game is super fun and is really addictive. There are all new items, status effects, and special techniques. Since you are able to customize your characters you can make really slow characters like Choji at least normal speed. You can also add other peoples jutsu to your characters so you can put your favorite jutsu on your favorite characters. The graphics are a bit better than in the first but because it is still on the playstation 2 the graphics couldn't be that much better. There are new versions of old characters and a few new characters all together. It is really cool that they made some of the support characters from the old one into playably characters in the new one. The only downfall about the new characters is that they combined curse mark Sasuke with the regular Sasuke and made the curse mark into a status changer brought about by using the secret techniques that it is involved with. This is a great game that would make a great addition to anyones collection of PS2 games.
