Game Revolution writes: "Another day, another mediocre Naruto game. Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 is the latest in an ever expanding series of games featuring ninjas that dress like road cones and scream out exactly what they're going to do before they actually do it. I'm throwing around the name "announcement fighter" for this genre."
Game Guys writes: "The latest port in the Naruto Shippuden series makes its way to the Nintendo DS. This game is really just a stepping stone since the next game is already out in Japan, and there is already an ad for the new game in this games instruction booklet. It will probably be out in the state's some time next year. Hopefully that game fixes some of the issues this game has."
If you're not a fan of the show, you'll get all you need from Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 in about as much time as it takes you to finish saying its name. The fighting is serviceable for a little while, and the visuals are nice, but the lack of options, the shallow fighting mechanics, and the tedious Story mode keep this game from fighting game fame. There's no compelling reason to spend time mashing buttons on this one.
