Naruto 2

[Hero]

Okay, I've just seen this thing on NCSX (shows how behind the times I am), and was wondering: is this better than the first game Tomy released on GC? Does it beat the ultra-sexiness of the PS2 Naruto fighting game? Anyone play this bloody thing?

I bet someone has.

There was some talk of it in a thread not that long ago.

*edit*

It was in this thread

It looks and plays far better than Narutimate hero...

As in, it's an actual fighting game, with even better cel-shaded graphics.

I got it in December and am still playing it. If you like Naruto (not to mention unlocking things), you will not be disappointed. Haven't played Narultimate Hero, but this is everything I wanted the first GC game to be. Can't go wrong with it.

i played it a couple times at megacon, it was pretty fun, im a big fan of the show, i had no idea how to play, but doing the super moves is pretty fun, since the entire game stops to watch your destroy your oponent. I really want to get it, but lack the funds right now.

I went in depth in the game on this other site. I didn't mention the 4 player though at the time. Now I realize that that makes the game 100x better than it already is.

So is the juggling really that bad? I mean, have you played multiplayer and tried to break it?

Many fighting games keep the combo counter(or whatever) going even it it is possible to get out of it. Else this game is probably only worth playing with 3 or 4 people as the guy who juggles would probably get ganged upon.

As long as you conserve enough energy to do it, you can use kawarimi no jutsu to get out of anything, besides supers. It's easy enough to turn things around in this game, assuming both (or all) players know what they're doing and are familiar with how the game works.

Good to hear.

Good to hear.

That's not to say the game is perfectly balanced and abuse-free, however.

When Rock Lee opens all the gates, his life is constantly being drained, and his chakra is constantly recharging... he can use Ura Renge an assload of times like this, and especially in 4P, this can become incredibly hard to deal with. Kill him as fast as possible, or better yet, someone using Neji against Rock Lee can potentially prevent him from ever gaining enough chakra to do this, if they're good. And if you wanna talk about abuse, Orochimaru's super move prevents its target from gaining chakra the rest of the round. But unless your friends are complete assholes, I doubt this'll affect anyone's enjoyment of the game any, heheh.

Another thing to remember is the b,b,x combo. If the second hit lands, the super move is guaranteed. Works for everybody.

But yeah, jeez, this game is full of awesome stuff. It has more depth than a lot of people give it credit for. Just because you can play it on a simple level doesn't mean there's not more to it. I'd recommend this game to non-Naruto fans, but for anyone who remotely likes Naruto, it's a must-have. Everything about it works so well. I can easily say it's my favorite anime license game ever, which isn't saying very much at all, but it's great, heheh.
