Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 5 (ナルト- 疾風伝 ナルティメットアクセル2, Naruto Shippūden: Narutimetto Akuseru 2) is the fifth instalment in the Ultimate Ninja series.
Why It Rocks
- A really great story that covers the first 2 Shippuden arcs.
- Includes over 50 characters. It includes the Shippuden versions of the Konoha 12, 4 of the Akatsuki members and even the characters from part 1, like Zabuza, Haku and the Sound Four
- Extremely fun fighting system comparable to the Super Smash Bros series, and it is an improvement over the previous games and is just as good as the fighting system found in Ultimate Ninja 3.
- The controls are extremely tight and responsive, and will never be unresponsive at all.
- Some characters can even do jutsu they haven’t done in the manga and anime series, like Zabuza doing Rasengan and Kiba doing Primary Lotus.
- The world of Konoha is huge. You could spend hours exploring it and discovering new secrets.
- Extremely good graphics for a PS2 game, as they are very detailled and had characters models that almost look like they we're copy pasted from the anime, also the graphics even look like an early PS3 and Xbox 360 game.
- While this game didn’t release in North America, the game has been released in Europe, so there is a English translation of the game.
- You can recreate almost every major fight from the manga and anime series in this game, due to the huge amount of characters and stages.
- Each character plays rather uniquely and has their own special attacks.
- The soundtrack is amazing and feels like it came straight out of the anime.
- The cutscenes look beautiful and resemble movie cutscenes, and are extremely entertainning to watch.
- Excellent replay value.
- Tons of contents, such as a story mode and a multiplayer mode.
Bad Qualities
- This game sadly never came out in North America, meaning you had to import if you wanted to play this game.
- Like most fighting games, some characters are overpowered and underpowered.
- The intro of this game can be scary.
- The game did not age well compared to Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 as it runs on PS2.
- The timing of the game's release in Europe and Australia, where it was released in 2009 for them, which is very late because the PS3 had already been out for a lengthy amount of time & the PS2 was beginning to become obsolete, not helping that the original release date of this game was in 2007. Does this sound familiar?
Reception
Much like the previous games, Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja 5 received positive reviews by gamers and is considered to be one of the best Naruto game ever made, and is considered to be the best one released on the PS2, along with Ultimate Ninja 3 and Uzumaki Chronicles 2
WatchMojo ranked this game the 3rd BEST in the Top 10 BEST & WORST Naruto games.[1]
