Naruto Ninja Storm 2 truly set a standard for the series when it was released. None of the other games have quite captured the crisp fight choreography, voice acting, and storytelling that "Storm 2" delivered. Although the story isn't entirely complete—the game concludes with the end of the Pain arc and just before the onset of the Fourth Great Ninja War in the anime—it succeeds in recapping Naruto's journey of self-discovery, growth, and the forging of bonds with his comrades while protecting those he holds dear.
While I could go on about my obsession with the story mode and Ultimate Adventure, it's worth noting that the combat in this game is noticeably slower. However, that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. Unlike "Storm 3" and later entries, you can't cancel your attacks with chakra dashes, which means you need to get extra creative with your combo routes in battle.
**Note:** Air chakra dashing isn't available in this game, and from what I've seen, neither is double jumping. It’s unclear if some characters might have this ability, but it's not a standard feature.
The online experience, expectedly, isn’t the most stable, considering the game was made back in the 2010s. Matches typically work if you and your opponent are running the same frame rate, but in my experience, it rarely ran smoothly. Honestly, I’m not even sure how I managed to get the ranked achievements because starting a match was a struggle.
ANOTHER NOTE: achievement hunters, there are bugged achievements in this game, there are guides to get those bugged achievements, be warned its not hard just very tedious and time consuming especially with the two online achievements.
Overall, "Naruto Ninja Storm 2" may show its age in some aspects, but its impact on the series remains undeniable, with a nostalgic charm that still resonates with fans.
