Crispy Gamer writes: "It's hard for fans of the Naruto series to keep track of the avalanche of various tie-in games. Not only are there a huge number of titles floating around (and on the way) for various platforms, but several of those titles also have different publishers and developers. This review will take a look at Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress for the PlayStation Portable from Namco Bandai and CyberConnect2. Does the game with the long name bring anything new to the table?
The Phantom Fortress, like the original Ultimate Ninja Heroes, is a basic fighting game in the vein of the Super Smash Bros. series. Like SSB, the characters and environments have a somewhat 3-D look, but the action takes place on a strictly 2-D plane. Also like SSB, the controls of Phantom Fortress are skewed towards the simplistic so that newcomers can hold their own against fighting game vets. The visuals here are richer than SSB, however, with an extra coat of cel shading to better mimic the feel of the Naruto cartoon."
What's Hot: The Mugenjo Mode adds more game time to the original formula
What's Not: This $40 sequel is essentially the $20 original
