I am a novice gamer so personally, I enjoyed the first Uzumaki Chronicles. I was challenged in the first one and expecting much more from the second installment. It is true that Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 was much better than the first. The story is original, yet fitting, the music is better and more varied, and there are more characters to play.

The story starts with the Sand Ninja Kankuro and his puppets. He tells Naruto about a puppet wielding clan, the Shirogane Clan and their quest to gather the Spirit Orbs. It's up to you, Naruto, and your friends to unravel the mystery of the clan and the "puppetwalkers" & why they crave wanting the Spirit Orbs so bad.

The fact that you and a friend can play together is a plus. Like any game, it has it's bosses that can be tough. Too tough in fact, so you may need to go with a strategy guide. This game will appeal to all Naruto fans. The cut scenes and the graphics are improved form the first, but still a bit choppy. I guess it's a PS2 thing. The fighting is definitely better and not as predictable or repetitive as the first one. I loved the skill plate system in the first one and it returns here. If you are not an experienced super gamer, but a Naruto, fan this is right up your alley.

As disappointed as I was, personally, with the first Uzumaki Chronicles; I wasn't expecting much from the second installment. Yet, I was surprised to find out that Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 was much better. This installment gets things better by making things more cohesive with a deeper storyline(more about that in a moment), a better soundtrack that fits the Naruto Universe, more characters to play, and the skill plate & leveling system.

The story, which is an original storyline-btw, tells about Naruto and his friends investigating the Shirogane Clan's interest in something called the Spirit Orbs. It's up to you and your friends to unravel the mystery of the clan and their 'puppetwalkers' & why they crave wanting the Spirit Orbs so bad.

The only downfall to this game is the same problem that plagued the first game. That problem was the fact that it lacked personality & oomph! and that made the game feel too generic(for lack of a better term) and shallow.

Again, this sequel isn't a bad game. Like any game, it has its' fair share of flaws. It will appeal to the Naruto fanbase, I'm sure, but will be a hard sell to everyone else. If they do decide to continue the series on next-generation consoles, I hope they will work on things and, at least, bring it up to the Xbox 360* Naruto Rise of the Ninja standards. While that game has its' share of flaws too; it, at least, feels more like a Naruto game in its' scope.

J'ai acheté ce jeu pour mon fils qui a aimé mais le trouve un peu short à jouer. Cela lui a pris trop peu de temps pour parcourir l'ensemble du cd à son goût.

I got this for my 9 yr old, its his fav game and he wants more Naruto, him and his buddies play this game constantly sometimes 12 hrs straight, several times at 9 PM I wud have to unplug it and send the kids home.

I expected the worst because this game got a really score by IGN but then again there have been many low scoring games rated by them that haven't been that bad. With that said, I liked the game. I am familiar with the series so the game filled up part of my expectations.

Graphics: The characters look just like they do in the Anime. The dubbed actors do a decent job with the vocals here. The graphics are decent for the most part again keeping intact how the series looks.

Sound: Sound is great. The music they use fits the environments in the game. As stated they also have the actors do the voices and they seem to have fun with the game.

Challenge: Challenge was ok could have been higher. It's a very easy game for an experience game. With that said, it was still enjoyable to change between characters use their strengths to your advantage.

The story was decent too with the Puppet Walkers and Shirogane clan.

The game comes with a couple of other different modes of play. I got this in the bargain bin part of Blockubuster and for the most part I thought it was worth getting. Definite fun.

As you go through the Hidden Leaf Village you get to join forces with the Hidden Sand Village and use head to head mode to be the best ninja. Not only that but you work through Mission Mode to perform different side stories or Survival Mode to test your skills.

This game is better than the first one and with the great character assortment you can play as.

i like to say i'm very pleased with this Naruto Uzmaki chronucles 2 the grapics are great its a lot better than the first uzumaki chronicles. i'll give you some info about what the game is all about the five great nations comes under attack with new mysterious enemy called the Shirogane clan who are destroying the village their wanting to get their hands on ancient and powerful spirt orbs to restore defunct shirogane clan and resurrecting an ancient master puppet.



they are 10 playable characters Naruto ,sakura,Kankuro, Neji,Rock Lee (also know as bushy brow) Shikamaru gaara,Kakashi itachi uchiha plus other characters like Choji might guy sasuke and Kisame Temari i dont know if you get to play her.

the game begins with Naruto returting from a hard mission and he heading back to the village to stop in at ickiraku shop to have a blow of ramen then Kankuro arrive on the scene and tells Naruto that the hidden leaf village is in trouble that they must see the fifth Hokage. you fellow Kankuro to the village and when you arrive the puppet walkers arrive you start to fight them, Kankuro that the puppet walkers had already invaded the land of wind and swarmed the hidden land of sand and not only the leaf village is threatned also the land of fire will face the same fateas the lands of lighting,earth,water nd wind to suffer at the hands of the shirogane clan.


after you defated the puppetb walkers this lizard puppet approaches and tell Naruto and Kankuro what shirogane clan is wanting the spirt orbs to resurrecting the puppter master then Kakashi arrive and attacks the lizard puppet using his lighten blade but has no effect and the puppet Lizaed vanishes so Naruto Kankuro and Kakashi report to Lady Tsunade that the great five nations are danger.

You start chapter 1 mission save the burning villages so you team up with Naruto Sakura and Kakashi and head to the kisaragi village you use the map to get to location of the village but along the way to fight bandits through out the game you take on mission fighting puppet walkers and you team up with other characters. i found the mission hard speacliy when it got to chapter 4 i got stuck so i had to order the game guide to help me and it did so i'm in the middel of playing of playing chapter 6 leaf village is a war .

there's other game modes you can play mission survival 2p battle so this game will keep you busy i'm looking forward to playing the Kakakshi saga when he fights agaisnt Itachi Uchila.

well i hope my review on the game is useful i recomend this naruto game for Naruto fans you should buy the naruto Uzumaki chronicles 2 game guide to help you becasue the game is hard to beat.

soon as the game came out i rushed to go buy it.knowing that it would better than its successor.the Game starts of with The Shirogane Clan wanting to take over The 5 Nations by Ressurrecting The Master puppet.the storyline is alright and some of the bosses can be very diffucult at times.but it only has 10 stages after that there are about 38 missions u must complete to get to Kakashi story.Why?? i ask when some of the Missions are boring as hell.now there are some Hidden Characters Like Sasuke,Itachi and Kisame.to get Sasuke u have to beat the Story Mode Twice.Like who wants to go through that again.To get Kisame and itachi you need to beat the Kakashi Gaiden, which you get by beating story mode once and completing all of the missions. You unlock him at the same time as Kisame.(COMPLETEING ALL THE MISSIONS) I SUGGEST U RENT IT
