IGN: Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 Review

IGN writes: "For those that already jumped into the world of portable fighting with the original Destiny on DS, Naruto Shippuden: Ninja Destiny 2 is more of the same, but it’s also a nice improvement on the formula. This year’s game brings more polish, a higher framerate, over 30 fighters (many original, or donning new Shippuden improvements and tweaks), a couple new modes, and the same slick, speedy combat. The game’s Quest mode is a throwaway as far as I’m concerned, but outside the sloppy dungeon crawler the game’s Story mode, Survival, Vs., and classic Arcade offerings are strong enough alone to elevate the game to new heights. Super attacks look better, the combat and touch item system is a bit more balanced (though I could stand for more tweaks on that front), and while the game still lacks Wi-Fi online battles its vs. play is quick and entertaining. The Bleach series still has a leg up on Ninja Destiny as far as DS fighting games are concerned, but if you’ve gone the distance with previous DS brawlers– or if you’re a huge fan of Naruto – Ninja Destiny 2 is a very comprehensive fighter, and another step in the right direction for the series".
