This is a good game that is great for hour on end, but only is you are a fan of the show. Those who don't like the show, I have seen, have no interest in the game what so ever. So if you don't like the show, simply don't buy it! If you do like the show, this game has your name written all over it!

Naruto ultamite ninja is not all that. This particular game had a lot of bugs in it and is lacking the ever so cool rpg mode of its succsesors.
In the end I feel sorry for you people with american ps2s because you will never be able to enjoy naruto to its fullest. I just recently recived my copy of naruto narutamite hero 3 (of as it is called in the US ultamite ninja) and it blows this game out of the water with 58 characters and an awsome rpg mode.
 Horrible Dubs: Another Great Game Ruined by Poor Voice Actors October 3, 2006

I've been watching the Naruto series for a while now, and i was excited when i found out they finally brought this game to the US.
The graphics are quite impressive, and the gameplay is different from any fighting game, making it loads of fun. There's tons of unlockables so the fun will last you for a while.
The game engine somehow reminds me of Super Smash Brothers, with the assists and items thrown at you, it stays true to the series.
Now as for the audio goes, the music on this game is great. I've never played the original import game, but i'm assuming they kept the original BGM and all the music since it's got that classic Japanese sound mixed with a little rock just like the Naruto anime. However, what really disappointed me was the voices. I was glad that the game came to the US because i like to be able to understand the manuals and menus on my games, but whoever did the dub for this series really messed up. Probably the worst character's voices are Naruto, Jiraya and Kakashi, some of the main characters. Naruto's voice is so annoying i'm thinking of getting rid of this game, his voice sort of resembles its original japanese counterpart, what makes him extremely annoying is the fact that he says "Believe it!" at the end of every damn sentence! even if it doesnt make sense! The game does NOT have the option for Japanese voices, so you're pretty much stuck with the crappy American voice actors.
Overall this game is great, but don't buy it if you're used to the Japanese Anime and you're expecting to re-live the great experience that is the Naruto series with its original voice actors. I'm hoping they'll add the Japanese Voice feature for a Greatest Hits re-release of this game, just like Funimation did for Dragonball Z Budokai 3.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja....... August 26, 2006
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
For a fan of fighting games, this one surprised me with a one, two punch....believe it! Considering I've only read one issue of Shonen Jump and the Naruto manga, and not seeing the anime at all; I didn't know much about the series. But, now that I've played this game...you can bet a bowl of ramen that I'm going to get to know this property very well.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja has over 14 characters to choose from(which I, personally, feel is too small a list) and 12 levels to fight upon. The 12 levels themselves play alot like those in Power Stone(ala Sandbox-style)with power-ups given to you along the stage itself by other Naruto characters. One good thing, though, is that the battles last a good while so you'll get your game on there.
While a good bit of the fighting is like any other fighting game, there's a part of the game that makes it totally unique. Let me explain. See, each character has various special techniques they can use while battling. They all require energy that you build while fighting. Each has three power levels. Once executed, the game switches play completely. This makes room for extreme anime-style fight scenes. On the two sides of the screen sit gauges with different button sequences. Hit them in the correct order and the attacker delivers maximum damage. If the victim get his or her button sequences right, then the damage is reduced somewhat. It's an interesting fighting system that makes the game feel different than your ordinary standard fighter and it makes a huge difference as to whether you win or lose. Another thing that sets it apart is its' visual style. Pop the game in your PS2 and play a few rounds & you'll see exactly what I mean.
If what I'm reading in other reviews as well as news on some gaming sites, this isn't the last game Japan has seen of Naruto. If that's so, considering as to how Naruto is beginning to be a hot property here, we'll be seeing more Ultimate Ninja games come soon. I, for one, can't wait. I've had an absolute blast with this game.
I love it, believe it!
