Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2

Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 is the sequel to Naruto: Path of the Ninja and is the third game in Japan.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A excellent original story that is very fun to play through. It even contains several major villians like the Akatsuki, Gaara and Zabuza.
 * 2) There are over 20 characters you can play as. You can even play as the Third Hokage, Itachi, Kisame, Zabuza, Haku and the Sannin.
 * 3) The battle system is still fun.
 * 4) The music is really great.
 * 5) This game now has Wi-Fi connectivity, meaning you can battle with your friends, family or people across the world.
 * 6) The specials are really cool and are really faithful to the anime and manga.
 * 7) The game is really long. It will take you over 60 hours to complete the story mode.
 * 8) There are some fun references to the show,
 * 9) Several forgotten characters can be found, like the rogue ninja from Gotta Know, Gotta See, Kakashi’s Face, Mizuki, he Sound Four and even Anko.
 * 10) Each boss fight is really unique.
 * 11) Most of the characters are implemented into the story mode too.
 * 12) There is even a side scrolling minigame before you reach a new location, which is really fun.
 * 13) Tons of replay value.
 * 14) After you beat the game, you unlock a Anbu character that joins your team.
 * 15) Kumite mode is really fun as well. There are several missions that are all faithful to the show.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sasuke (along with his second state), Haku and the Sannin are only obtainable through Wi-Fi mode. Since Nintendo shut down Wi-Fi on the Ds, they are no longer obtainable and you can only obtain them through cheats or by hacking.
 * 2) The final boss is extremely hard.
 * 3) The original story, while great, can be boring to some.
 * 4) The summons are poorly implemented.
 * 5) Like the previous games, the enemies and bosses have no health bar.
 * 6) You can only save at checkpoints.
