WorthPlaying: Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 Review

WorthPlaying writes: "Whether you love it or hate it, Naruto has proven to be a lasting phenomenon, potentially on par with the still-strong Pokémon. Even before it made its way over to the U.S., the TV show had garnered a loyal following from otaku everywhere, and any licensed games that developers could churn out has flown off the shelves. Naruto has seen 21 games with his name in North America alone, and he’s appeared in well over 30 titles internationally. It’s getting difficult to find a niche that Naruto has not invaded, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this second RPG for the Nintendo DS is generic but competent, much like its predecessors across all genres.

While Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 is in no way awful or uncreative, it manages to come across as little Timmy’s first RPG. The game may claim in its opening screen to be an S-rank mission, but nothing about the main story line of the game reaches anything above a B-rank in the Naruto mission hierarchy."
