Naruto: Ultimate Heroes (PSP)
Looks like Naruto has mastered another move, the PSP-Game-No-Jutsu. For those of you who have played the beat-em-up game: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2, don't expect anything really different like Kakashi without a mask or something in the PSP version: Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes... They're basically the same. And they still look sweeeeeeet.

  So, you're fighting on a 2D pane, in a 3D-looking environment that basically, looks just like the stylized atmosphere in the anime. It looks awesome, and awesome is what we like. If there was a form of Awesome-No-Jutsu, then the artistic look of this game would be it.

Unfortunately, the games performance is shunned by its awful load times and even worse English voice acting (the Japanese voice acting is way better). On the plus side, the game play looks sweet and after getting the hang of the controls, you'll be Kage Bunshin No Jutsu'ing and Button-Mashing No Jutsu'ing your way through the ranks. And yeah, we're using the “xxxx-No-Jutsu” joke a lot, that's what real ninja's do to crack a funny.
Again, there's not much difference between Heroes and it's PS2 counterpart, bar a few things. You don't have a story developing in this game, just a series of battles. This makes it easier for a non-Naruto fan who just likes beat-em-ups to have a go at the game.
