Naruto: Ultimate Ninja (PS2 Gameplay)

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja (PS2) - Characters: Naruto vs. Sasuke - Stage: Ramen Ichiraku

There are special techniques and jutsus that can be used. It also features several items, like shuriken and kunai. There are many multi-layered stages from around the Naruto universe, including the Hidden Leaf Village, the Chunin Exam arena, and the Forest of Death. In the original Japanese version, there were only 12 characters; however, it includes the ability to select both Curse Mark Sasuke and Nine-Tailed Naruto as bonus characters. Although both of these characters were already in the Japanese version as transformations, Namco Bandai chose to distinguish these four variations into their own playable characters. Due to this, both Naruto and Sasuke have lost their ability to transform into their stronger modes during battle. This is much like the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 3 transformation system. The game also features an arcade style story mode. The Story Mode consists of up to six battles divided by some dialogue in a manga style display, one of many homages to its source material.
The game also uses support characters such as Naruto's support being Iruka, or Sauske's support being Kakashi Hatake. Though, they are only used when the support has obtained an item, such as an attack using the support or power ups.
