So naturally, the Naruto gang must summon safer rooms to pass through.
The bulk of the story takes place in a very unstable tower with very dangerous rooms. The story mode is very interesting because it has a different structure than you might expect. Considering nine out of ten Naruto titles take place during the Chuunin exam or Sasuke retrieval arcs, I was very pleased I didn't have to slog through the same old situations. Although some people may balk at the fact that the story is created specifically for the game, I actually find it rather refreshing. The story mode this time around is completely new and revolves around a mysterious tower that manipulates people's memories and zaps the life-force of any town in which it appears. There are two main single-player combat modes: a team battle mode and a story mode.
The format of Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2 is essentially the same as the original Ninja Heroes. However, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress, despite being an excellent standalone title, feels a little too close to its predecessor and a little stalled in the ingenuity department. I expected it to take all the Ninja goodness of the first title and add to it like the console sequels had done. So, after playing through all the Ultimate Ninja titles (and yes, I do mean all), I was considerably excited for the follow-up to last years' portable title. The original Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes was a direct spin-off from the series and featured essentially the same combat mechanics but with enough unique twists on the gameplay to make it feel distinctive. Although the material may have started feeling a little stale, these games spiced things up with new moves, modes, and of course, fighters. The changes made between the first Ultimate Ninja and its successor were drastic, and the changes between the second and the third were even more remarkable. One of the things I applaud most about the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series is its ability to grow and evolve, despite the entire series being based on the exact same material.
